5.3 OPERATION OF RC MODELS
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions LIY-500 for operation of the Tornado RC Monitors.
5.4 RECOMMENDED PARK POSITION
For truck mounted applications, it is recommended that the monitor be parked in a position such that the monitor’s nozzle rests against
a bracket or support surface. If a support surface is not available, run the elevation against one of the travel stops to take some of the
backlash out of the gear drive. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the apparatus is traveling. Always be sure the monitor is
properly parked before moving the truck and know the overall height to avoid damage from overhead obstructions such as doors or
bridges. See LIY-500 for information on programming PARK position.
5.5 OVERRIDE KNOBS
In the event of electrical system failure on the monitor or fire truck, the Tornado RC monitor may be manually operated with factory
supplied override knobs. To make the Tornado RC more compact, the manual override knobs may be removed. Removing the override
knobs exposes a hex so an 11/16” wrench or socket may be used for manual override.
