4.4 PRESSURE GAGE PORT
There is a ¼” NPT female threaded hole on the back of the monitor and the exit elbow. The holes are plugged from the factory. If a
pressure gauge is desired, unscrew the plug and install the gage using pipe sealant. Make sure the gauge does not interfere with
operation.
4.5 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
There is no drain on the Tornado RC monitor itself. A drain valve should be installed on the piping to which the monitor is attached.
WARNING
Monitors, valves, and piping may be damaged if frozen while containing su
ffi
cient amounts of
water. Such damage may be di
ffi
cult 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
5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions LIY-500 for operation of the Tornado RC Monitors.
6.0 RECOMMENDED PARK POSITION
For truck mounted applications, it is recommended that the monitor be parked in a position such that the monitor’s nozzle rests
against a bracket or support surface. If a support surface is not available, run the elevation against one of its travel stops to take
some of the backlash out of the gear drive. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the apparatus is traveling. Always be sure
the monitor is properly parked before moving the truck. Know the overall height to avoid damage from overhead obstructions such
as doors or bridges.
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions (LIY-500) for information on programming DEPLOY,
OSCILLATE and PARK position Tornado RC models.
WARNING
On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Damage or
injury could occur if there is not su
ffi
cient clearance to safely pass under doors or overhead
obstructions.
Always check parked position of the monitor before moving.
6.1 OVERRIDE HEX DRIVE
In the event of electrical system failure on the monitor, the Tornado RC compact industrial monitor is factory supplied with a hex drive
in the end of either shaft. Pry the dust caps o
ff
from the horizontal or vertical shafts to access the hex drives. A 1/4” hex key may be
used for manual override.
