8.4 OSCILLATION SPEED AND COVERAGE
Oscillation Speed: The chart shows how many times per minute the oscillator
makes one complete cycle as a function of flow. The higher the flow, the faster
it oscillates. A minimum flow rate of 175 GPM is required for proper oscillator
operation.
Nozzle Reach: Refer to the operation manual for the specific nozzle. For
reach with oscillation, subtract 20% from the distance.

9.0 STORAGE
The monitor may be stored pre-connected to its hose on the optional storage bracket, TFT part number XX-B. The storage bracket may
be mounted on a horizontal surface, or a vertical surface with the nozzle end pointing down or sideways.
To mount the bracket, follow the instructions (LIX-635) provided with the bracket kit.
NOTICE
The type of nozzle and flow pressure are critical to the coverage area. The graph shows coverage
area based on the movement capability of the oscillating mechanism. Actual coverage will depend
on flow, pressure, type of nozzle, angle of fog pattern, and wind conditions.
WARNING
The Portable Monitor Storage Bracket is designed only to store the Portable Monitor. Attempting to
flow from the storage bracket can cause the monitor to become dislodged from the bracket and out
of control, causing severe injury or death. Always properly deploy the monitor before flowing.
