CAUTION
The electric Hurricane RC may be remotely operated. The electric drives are current limited but
may still produce enough force to cause injury. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points on
the monitor.
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use the manual override handwheels while the electric controls are in operation. The
electric drives produce enough torque to cause injury.
Maximum flow and pressure is 2000 GPM (7600 LPM) and 200 PSI (14 BAR). Damage or injury may
result if the monitor is operated beyond these limits.
1.0 MEANING OF SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a
particular hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.4-1998 the definitions of the three signal words are as follows:
DANGER
CAUTION
WARNING
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction before water
to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream.
Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of
supporting 1500 lbs (700 kg) of nozzle reaction force.
2.0 SAFETY
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.
The Task Force Tips HURRICANE RC is an electric remote monitor, with a single low-profile waterway discharge. It has high flow and
low friction loss characteristics. Capable of flowing 1250 GPM (4500 LPM) while maintaining a FULL 450° of rotational travel (225°
either side of center position). Maximum operating pressure is 200 PSI (14 BAR). Field changeable horizontal rotation stops at 45°, 90°
and 135° either side of center position. Elevation range is 90° above horizontal and 45° below. Designed for field changeable 12 or 24
volt dc operation. The Hurricane RC comes with a factory installed control panel mounted on the monitor for controlling horizontal
rotation, elevation and nozzle pattern. See Task Force Tips Price List and Product Specifications for additional control stations. Unit
comes with 30 feet of ultra-flexing robotic cable, enclosed in a unique wire guide, already wired to the monitor so installation effort is
minimized. Large handwheels are provided on the horizontal rotation and elevation drive for manual override. TFT's Master Stream
1250 nozzle plugs into the factory installed nozzle power wire. All electrical components affecting water tightness are a minimum of
NEMA 4 (IP65). Motors and control boxes are factory tested for water tightness. Available with various inlet adapters for flanges and
thread fittings. Inlet also made for direct connection to TFT's 3 or 4 inch Extend-A-Gun RC3 or RC4. Standard outlet is 2 ½ National
Hose male (65mm). Other outlets are available (see figure 3.4). A threaded port (0.25” NPT) (6.4mm) is provided for pressure gauge.
The monitor is made from hardcoat anodized ANSI A356.0-T6 aluminum and silver powder coat finish inside and out.

3.1.1 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
On many vehicle installations the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Often it is critical that the monitor be properly stowed
before driving to avoid damage to overhead obstructions such as door openings. In these cases the use of a switch wired into the
apparatus "door open" circuit is highly recommended. The switch should be wired to give a "door open" signal if the monitor is not in the
stowed position. Due to the variety of possible mountings and nozzles, it is the installer's responsibility to supply the appropriate switch
with mounting and wire it into their system. Always check stowed position of the monitor before moving.
