4.3 NOZZLE INSTALLATION

The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor's exit threads. If the nozzle is installed on a Monsoon RC (with electric motors) assure
that the nozzle's coupling does not make contact with the horizontal drive motor housing when the monitor is in it's lowest elevation
position.

For nozzles with electric pattern control, a cable with a female, waterproof connector is provided at the outlet of the Monsoon RC which
attaches directly to TFT's electric Masterstream 1250, 1500 or 2000 nozzle. The cable used is a dual-key, micro type plug assembly.
Any other nozzle should have the corresponding male electrical connector installed. The waterproof cap should be installed when using
stacked tips. Do not cut off the female connector on the monitor. This connector is molded onto the cable and must remain in place to
maintain the water tightness of the electrical system.

CAUTION

The nozzle threads must match the threads of the Monsoon monitor in both size and type.
Mismatched or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and
could cause injury.

CAUTION

Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together can
cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of thread
engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the effects of corrosion can be greatly
delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing, or silicone grease.

4.4 HORIZONTAL ROTATION TRAVEL STOPS

The range of horizontal rotation travel for the manual Monsoon monitor is continuous 360 degrees. The motorized version is limited to
450 degrees total horizontal rotation travel or 225 degrees from either side of a straight ahead position. Horizontal rotation travel stop
bolts may be installed in the monitor to limit travel as shown in figures 4.4A and 4.4B. Note that left and right are relative to the “Straight
Ahead Reference Mark” (the Straight Ahead Reference Mark is shown in figures 4.2B and 4.4D) and refer to the nozzle's discharge
direction as seen from an operator's position behind the nozzle. Figures 4.4A and 4.4B show the range of travel for the various stop bolt
locations and give installation notes.

Fig 4.4A

Horizontal Rotation Travel Limits

Electric model with no stop bolts installed has
225° left and right horizontal rotation travel limits.

Manual model with no stop bolts installed has
continuous 360° horizontal rotation travel.

Fig 4.4B

Horizontal Rotation Travel Stop Locations

Pry out plastic plug and install Stop
Bolt to obtain desired travel limits.
