4.4 TRAVEL STOPS

Stop bolts and adjustment disks can be installed to limit the travel of the monitor in either travel direction. Instructions on how to install

the stop bolts and adjustment disks are shown below. 

Figure 4.4

4.5 NOZZLE INSTALLATION

The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads. If the nozzle is installed on a Tornado RC (with electric motors) assure that

the nozzle’s actuator does not make contact with the horizontal drive motor housing when the monitor is in its lowest elevation position.

4.6 PRESSURE GAUGE PORT

There is a ¼” NPT female threaded hole on the back of the monitor and the exit elbow 

(see Figure 3.5)

. The holes are plugged from the

factory. If a pressure gauge is desired, unscrew the plug and install the gage using pipe sealant. Make sure the gauge does not interfere

with operation.

4.7 TILLER HANDLE INSTALLATION

For tiller models, the handle is shipped loose from the monitor and

must  be  installed  to  complete  the  installation  process.  When

installing  the  tiller  handle,  be  sure  to  coat  the  threads  of  the

mounting screw with the Loctite

®

 supplied in the hardware packet.

CAUTION

Mismatched or damaged waterway connections may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under 

pressure. Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched connections. 

CAUTION

Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability to 

uncouple the connection, or complete loss of engagement over time. Failure could cause injury. Per 

NFPA 1962, if dissimilar metals are left coupled together, an anti-corrosive lubricant should be 

applied to the connection and the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least 

quarterly. 

ADJUSTMENT DISK, #Y3146
INSTALL ON THIS SIDE OF 
STOP BOLT TO REDUCE DOWNWARD 
TRAVEL BY APPROX 13° FOR EACH 
DISK INSTALLED. INSTALL DISKS
ON OTHER SIDE TO REDUCE 
UPWARD TRAVEL

ADJUSTMENT DISK, #Y3146
INSTALL ON THIS SIDE OF STOP BOLT TO
REDUCE  TRAVEL TO RIGHT BY APPROX 13°
FOR EACH DISK INSTALLED. INSTALL DISKS
ON OTHER SIDE TO REDUCE TRAVEL TO LEFT. 

INSTALL STOP BOLT #Y4145 
HERE TO LIMIT ELEVATION
TRAVEL TO 90° ABOVE AND
39° BELOW ON RC MODEL.  

INSTALL STOP BOLT #Y4145 HERE
TO LIMIT HORIZONTAL TRAVEL TO 
90° LEFT AND 90° RIGHT ON RC MODEL.
REMOVE #VT37-24SH500 SOCKET HEAD 
CAP SCREW OR #VT37-24SS375 
SET SCREW IF NECESSARY. 

Remove Set Screw And Install Stop
Bolt To Obtain Desired Travel Limits.

RC Model With No Stop Bolts Installed
Has 185° Left And Right Travel Limits.

Tiller Model Has Continuous 360°
Horizontal Rotation. Stop Bolts Are Not
Used On Tiller Model.
