6.0 PATTERN CONTROL
Use the FOG and STRAIGHT STREAM buttons on the nozzle controller to move the shaper to the desired stream setting. Moving the
shaper forward transitions to the straight stream position. Moving the shaper rearward will result in an increasingly wider pattern.
To operate the nozzle manually:
Turn the MANUAL OVERRIDE KNOB in either direction to change the stream position.
Since the stream trim point varies with the flow, the stream should be ‘trimmed’ after changing the flow to obtain the straightest and
furthest reaching stream. The nozzle reaction is greatest when the shaper is in the straight-stream position.
To properly trim a stream, first open the pattern to a narrow fog. Then close the stream to parallel to give maximum reach.
7.0 FLUSHING DEBRIS
Debris in the water may get caught inside the nozzle. This
trapped material will cause poor stream quality, shortened
reach, and reduced flow. Debris can be flushed as follows:
1. While flowing water, move the shaper rearward past
the full fog position until it stops traveling. *This will
open the nozzle allowing debris to pass through.
2. Move the shaper forward, out of flush position to
resume normal operation.
*When used with a TFT RC Monitor equipped with Smart
Stream technology, the FOG button must be pressed and held
a second time to reach the FLUSH position. Doing this
prevents unintentional flushing of the nozzle, which causes
reduced reach and increased flow rate, potentially depleting
the water supply more quickly.
NOTICE
Turning the shaper further forward will cause stream crossover and reduce the reach of the nozzle.
WARNING
Large amounts or pieces of debris may be unflushable and can reduce the flow of the nozzle
resulting in an ineffective flow. In the event of a blockage, it may be necessary to retreat to a safe
area, uncouple the nozzle and remove debris.
