Monitor:
1) Handwheel must rotate freely.
2) Elevation stop pin must return to safe position.
3) Quick disconnect latch and safety catch must operate freely.
4) Rotation lock must operate freely and keep monitor from rotating when
engaged.
We recommend the following procedure to test the SAFE-TAK 1250 portable base safety valve.
a) Set up monitor for normal operation.
b) Put a seperate 2-1/2" or larger uncharged hose line or a rescue air bag under one leg. Attach at least 20 feet of air line if you are using
a rescue bag.
c) Point discharge straight ahead, at an elevation angle of approximately 60° with respect to the base. Set safety valve (section 4.6) and
flow water as desired, up to 500 GPM.
d) Charge the additional hoseline or inflate the rescue bag, from at least 20 feet away, until the safety valve trips. Valve trip is indicated
by the valve handle moving to the tripped position and reduction of flow. If valve does not trip, stop all flow at pump and inspect valve
and trip mechanism to determine the cause. If cause can not be determined, contact Task Force Tips at 1-800-348-2686 for additional
assistance.
e) Stay clear of the monitor during this test, as it will move when the valve trips.
The base must be anchored (See section 4.5).
Performance tests shall be conducted on the Crossfie Monitor after a repair, or anytime a problem is reported to verify operation in
accordance with Task Force Tips test procedures. Consult factory for the procedure that corresponds to the model and the serial
number of the Monitor. Any equipment which fails the related test criteria should be removed from service immediately.
Troubleshooting guides are available with each test procedure or equipment can be returned to the factory for service and testing.
5.1 GREASE WORM GEAR
Turn the handwheel to move the nozzle to its highest elevation and pump grease (medium viscosity automotive) into the fitting in the
worm gear housing until excess appears.
