10.0 WARRANTY
Task Force Tips LLC, 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA (“TFT”) warrants to the original purchaser of its
Foam Attachment (“equipment”), and to anyone to whom it is transferred, that the equipment shall be free from defects in material
and workmanship during the fi ve (5) year period from the date of purchase.
TFT’s obligation under this warranty is specifi cally limited to replacing or repairing the equipment (or its parts) which are shown by
TFT’s examination to be in a defective condition attributable to TFT. To qualify for this limited warranty, the claimant must return the
equipment to TFT, at 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA, within a reasonable time after discovery of the
defect. TFT will examine the equipment. If TFT determines that there is a defect attributable to it, it will correct the problem within a
reasonable time. If the equipment is covered by this limited warranty, TFT will assume the expenses of repair.
If any defect attributable to TFT under this limited warranty cannot be reasonably cured by repair or replacement, TFT may elect to
refund the purchase price of the equipment, less reasonable depreciation, in complete discharge of its obligations under this limited
warranty. If TFT makes this election, claimant shall return the equipment to TFT free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.
This is a limited warranty. The original purchaser of the equipment, any person to whom it is transferred, and any person who is
an intended or unintended benefi ciary of the equipment, shall not be entitled to recover from TFT any consequential or incidental
damages for injury to person and/or property resulting from any defective equipment manufactured or assembled by TFT. It is agreed
and understood that the price stated for the equipment is in part consideration for limiting TFT’s liability. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.
TFT shall have no obligation under this limited warranty if the equipment is, or has been, misused or neglected (including failure to
provide reasonable maintenance) or if there have been accidents to the equipment or if it has been repaired or altered by someone
else.
THIS IS A LIMITED EXPRESS WARRANTY ONLY. TFT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE MADE BY TFT BEYOND THAT STATED IN THE DOCUMENT.
This limited warranty gives you specifi c legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
11.0 MAINTENANCE
TFT products are designed and manufactured to be damage resistant and require minimal maintenance. However, as the primary
fi refi ghting tool upon which your life depends, it should be treated accordingly. To help prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or
throw equipment.
11.1 FIELD LUBRICATION
All Task Force Tips’ nozzles are factory lubricated with high quality silicone grease. This lubricant has excellent wash out resistance
and long term performance in fi refi ghting nozzles. If your department has unusually hard or sandy water, the moving parts of the
nozzle may be aff ected. Foam agents and water additives contain soaps and chemicals that may break down the factory lubrication.
The moving parts of the nozzle should be checked on a regular basis for smooth and free operation, and for signs of damage. IF
THE NOZZLE IS OPERATING CORRECTLY, THEN NO ADDITIONAL LUBRICANT IS NEEDED. Any nozzle that is not operating
correctly should be immediately removed from service.
The fi eld use of Break Free CLP (spray or liquid) lubricant will help to restore the smooth and free operation of the nozzle. However,
these lubricants do not have the washout resistance and long-term performance of the silicone grease. Therefore, re-application of
Break Free CLP will be needed on a regular basis. The nozzle can be returned to the factory at any time for a complete checkup
and re-lubrication with silicone grease.
CAUTION
Aerosol lubricants contain solvents that can swell O-Rings if applied in excess. The swelling
can inhibit smooth operation of the moving parts. When used in moderation, as directed, the
solvents quickly evaporate without adversely swelling the O-Rings.
11.2 SERVICE TESTING
In accordance with NFPA 1962, nozzles must be tested a minimum of annually. Nozzles failing any part of this test must be removed
from service, repaired and retested upon completion of the repair.
11.2.1 FLOW TESTING
Flow testing must be conducted in the following manner.
1. The nozzle shall be mounted so that the fl ow rate and pressure through the nozzle and the pressure at the inlet can be
accurately measured.
2. With the shut off fully open, the inlet pressure shall be adjusted to the rated pressure ±2 percent.
3. Evaluate the fl ow of nozzles as defi ned by NFPA 1964 in the following manner:
Constant and Select Gallonage Spray Nozzles
The fl ow rate shall be no less than the rated fl ow at the rated pressure and no more than 10 percent over the rated fl ow at the
rated pressure when tested at each predetermined fl ow selection.
4. The valve or shut off and pattern controls shall be operated through their full range of motion at 100 psi (6.9 bar or 690 kPa) with
no signs of leaking, binding or other problems.
