4.2.1 ADDITIONAL WIRE CLAMPS FOR EXTEND-A-GUN RC

For the Extend-A-Gun RC: Install the supplied wire clamps to the bottom of the lower wire skirt as shown in figures 4.2B and 4.2C. The 
purpose of the additional wire clamps (if needed) is to give a known direction and anchor position to the wire for proper operation with 
the Extend-A-Gun RC's wire anchor point. Length of wire from last clamp on the monitor to clamp on Extend-A-Gun to be 40 inches. 
Wire should wrap 1 ½ times around Extend-A-Gun.

4.3  NOZZLE CONNECTION

The HURRICANE RC monitor outlet thread types are as shown in figure 3.3. The nozzle is simply screwed onto the Hurricane RC 
monitor's exit threads. Insure that the nozzle's coupling does not make contact with the elevation drive housing when the monitor is in 
its highest elevation position.

For nozzles with electric pattern control, a waterproof connector wire is provided at the bottom outlet of the Hurricane RC's control 
station box. This wire attaches directly to TFT's electric Master 1250 nozzle. The electric actuator box of nozzle must be oriented to the 
top side of nozzle for the connection wire to extend 90° above horizontal and 45° below elevation movement. (see figure 4.3 and refer to 
Section 5.9 for properly attaching female to male connectors).   Any other nozzle should have the corresponding male electrical 
connector installed and long enough wire to extend 90° above horizontal and 45° below elevation movement of the nozzle. 

DO NOT 

CUT OFF THE FEMALE CONNECTOR ON THE MONITOR. THIS CONNECTOR IS MOLDED ONTO THE WIRE AND MUST 
REMAIN ON TO MAINTAIN THE WATER TIGHTNESS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

FIG 4.3

Correct ER Nozzle Install Orientation

CAUTION

The nozzle threads must match the threads on the HURRICANE RC in both size and type.   
Mismatched or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and 
could cause injury.

CAUTION

Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together can 
cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of thread 
engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the effects of corrosion can be greatly 
delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing or silicone grease.
