5.3 TILLER BAR CONTROL
On the Tiller Bar model the horizontal rotation is changed by
pushing or pulling horizontally on the Tiller Handle. Twisting the
Rotation Locking Knob clockwise will increase the drag on the
lower swivel joint to “lock” the monitor in a particular direction.

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 Typhoon Monitor may be manually operated with factory
supplied override knobs. To make the Typhoon 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.

WARNING
Debris in the nozzle may cause off center nozzle reaction. Injury or damage from spinning or
sudden movement of the monitor could occur. To reduce the risk of an out of control monitor:
•
Always check for waterway obstructions before flowing water
• Always keep the rotation lock tight when not rotating the monitor
• Always keep one hand on the tiller handle when loosening the rotation lock
• When 360° rotation is not needed, install horizontal rotation stop bolts to limit monitor travel
