5.3 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER

The automatic water drain valve allows the monitor and Booster body to drain after the upstream water supply is shut off, even with the

swing-check valve closed. This minimizes susceptibility to damage from corrosion and freezing water. The drain valve seal membrane is

designed to close automatically when pressure exceeds 5 psi. When pressure drops below 5 psi, the seal membrane will open to allow

drainage. Proper function must be verified prior to fireground use. 
To fully drain the Side A Inlet of the Booster, the upstream device to which it is mounted must also be drained. The TFT Hydrant Under

Monitor and Industrial Valve Under Monitor include additional automatic drain valves that serve this purpose.

5.4 ADJUSTING SWEEP ANGLE

Oscillating sweep angle can be adjusted from zero to 120 degrees in 10 degree increments at any time while oscillating or stationary,

without removing the  safety guard  that  encloses the oscillating mechanism. From the  0° OFF setting (screw head showing through

safety guard), turning clockwise allows angles of 20°, 40°, 60°, 80°, 100° or 120°. Turning counter-clockwise allows angles of 30°, 50°,

70°,  90°,  or  110°. DO  NOT  REMOVE THE SAFETY  GUARD  WHILE  FLOWING. A  padlock  can  be  attached  to the safety  guard to

prevent removal.
To adjust the sweep angle:

1. Pull  the  pin  on  the  bottom  of  the  gearbox  and  pivot  the  monitor  by  hand

clockwise or counter-clockwise. IF RESISTANCE IS FELT, DO NOT ATTEMPT

TO FORCE THE MONITOR BEYOND THAT POINT.

2. To reach a setting beyond the toggle point:

A. Without flowing: use a ½” wrench to manually rotate the external OSC drive

hex shaft and then pivot the monitor by hand.

B. When flowing: Continue to gently push the monitor against the toggle point.

As the oscillating mechanism continues to rotate, it will eventually allow the

angle adjustment disc to reach the desired setting.

3. When desired setting is reached, release pull pin and adjust the monitor slightly

until pull pin snaps into place.

4. Center the sweep pattern on the target using the horizontal adjustment (IE: tiller,

handwheel or crank) on the monitor.

5. The sweep angle range, centering, and discharge elevation can be verified “dry”

(without flowing water) by rotating the external OSC drive hex shaft throughout

the complete sweep range. Final verification is made by operating under actual

flowing conditions.

To make a fine adjustment of 10° wider or narrower than the current setting, it is necessary to reach an adjustment on the opposite side

of the adjustment disc. To avoid the nozzle stream striking objects away from the intended target, it is always safest to reduce the angle

towards the 0° OFF position, then increase the angle towards the desired setting.

WARNING

Monitors, valves, and piping may be damaged if frozen while containing sufficient amounts of

water. Such damage may be difficult to detect visually and can lead to possible damage, injury, or

death. Equipment that may be exposed to freezing conditions must be drained immediately 

following use to prevent damage. 

CAUTION

Structural damage from corrosion can result from failure to drain appliance between uses. Damage 

from corrosion can cause injury due to equipment failure. Always drain appliance between uses.
