INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
The following is intended to provide the basic instructions for installation, operating and maintenance of the Apollo/Omega
Monitor. Read and understand these operating instructions before use.
PRODUCT RATINGS:
Maximum Flow:
1250 gpm (4800 lpm)
Maximum Pressure:
200 psi (1400 kpa)
PRODUCT WARNINGS:
The reaction force when flowing at the maximum pressure and flow listed above is 900 pounds. The center of the waterway is 11
inches from the bottom of the inlet flange. Ensure these values and an appropriate safety factor are used to determine a proper
support structure.
WARNING:
INSUFFICIENT STRUCTURAL SUPPORT CAN LEAD TO FAILURE, WHICH HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN INJURY.
THEREFORE, ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AT THE INLET FLANGE ON THE VEHICLE DECK MAY BE
REQUIRED. NO SUPPORT STRUCTURE IS TO BE ADDED DIRECTLY TO THE MONITOR. (Contact Akron Brass
Customer Service for assistance.)
WARNING:
Charge the unit slowly. Rapid charging may cause a pressure surge which has the potential to cause an injury or
damage the monitor.
WARNING:
Aim the unit in a safe direction before pumping water through it.
WARNING:
DO NOT exceed the maximum pressure or flow ratings of the monitor. Exceeding these ratings has the
potential
to cause an injury or damage the monitor.
WARNING:
DO NOT install shutoffs on the outlet of the monitor. Shutoffs increase the potential for pressure surges due
to
water hammer, which have the potential to cause injury or damage the monitor.
WARNING:
Drain the monitor after use to prevent “freeze damage”.
WARNING:
Ensure the thread on the nozzle swivel matches the thread on the monitor outlet. Do not over
tighten the nozzle onto the unit.
MONITOR ATTACHMENT:
The monitor is to be mounted on the waterway with eight 5/8 inch bolts and nuts of grade five minimum and suitable washers
when mounting to a four inch flange. When mounting to a three inch flange, only four bolts, nuts and washers are required.
