5.2 HORIZONTAL ROTATION CONTROL
The Protector can rotate from side to side on its swivel base. Lift the rotation lock lever and rotate the monitor right or left using the
directional control handle (see fi gure 5.2). To lock the monitor in position, depress the rotation lock lever. A small spring holds the
rotation lock lever in the unlocked position when it is disengaged. When the monitor is not in use, the rotation lock lever should be
kept in the locked position.

5.3 ELEVATION CONTROL
The up and down direction (elevation) of the stream is changed by pushing or pulling vertically on the direction control handle (see
fi gure 5.2). Twisting the elevation locking knob clockwise will increase the drag on the upper swivel joint to “lock” the monitor at a
particular elevation. Select discharge devices that do not exceed the 70 ft-lb locking capability of the elevation lock.
For a typical fog nozzle, the maximum allowable weight works out to be about 40 lbs (18.1 kg).
CAUTION
Injury can result from the monitor changing direction due to an off center nozzle reaction. An off
center nozzle reaction may be caused by debris in the nozzle causing an asymmetrical stream.
Always keep the rotation lock tight when not rotating the monitor. Always keep one hand on the
tiller handle when loosening the locking knob.
