    I. PRODUCT SAFETY

    Important:
    Before installing and operating this equipment, read & study this manual
    thoroughly. Proper installation is essential to safe operation. In addition, the
    following points should be adhered to in order to ensure the safety of equipment
    and personnel:

    1. All personnel who may be expected to use this equipment must be


    thoroughly trained in its safe and proper use.

    2. Before flowing water from this device, check that all personnel (fire
    service and civilian) are out of the stream path. Also, check to make sure
    stream direction will not cause avoidable property damage.

    3. Become thoroughly familiar with the hydraulic characteristics of this


    equipment, and the pumping system used to supply it. To produce
    effective fire streams, operating personnel must be properly trained.

    4. Open water valve supplying this equipment slowly, so that the piping
    fills slowly, thus preventing possible water hammer occurrence.

    5. After each use, and on a scheduled basis, inspect equipment per


    instructions in Maintenance & Inspection on page 7.

    Warning: The piping must be able to withstand a horizontal reaction force of at least
    950 lbs at the height of the discharge elbow and from any angle of rotation that the monitor is
    capable of turning. Serious injury to personnel and equipment can result from improper
    installation.

    II. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
    1. 3” NPT Base
    Apply an appropriate thread sealant to the 3” NPT nipple. Thread the monitor base
    onto the nipple. Ensure that the alignment of the fixed monitor base for the 8500-03X
    and 8593-03X/294-11REV.06X is in the correct position for access to the left/right hand
    wheel. Alignment for other monitors is not critical as the monitor is capable of 360º
    continuous rotation.
    2. 3” 150# Flat Faced Flange
    Attach a 3" 150 lb. class ANSI pattern companion flange to the water supply pipe.
    Elkhart Brass recommends using the 81315001 Companion Flange Kit. Ensure that
    the alignment of the fixed monitor base for the 8500-03X and 8593-03X/294-
    11REV.06X is in the correct position for access to the left/right hand wheel. Attach the
    monitor inlet flange to the companion flange on the water supply pipe with four (4) 5/8-
    11 UNC grade 5 carbon steel or stainless steel bolts, 2-1/2 inches long, with nuts. If a
    wafer type butterfly valve is installed between the monitor and the companion flange,
    required bolt length will be 4-1/2 inches. Seal the flange joint with a gasket, or suitable
    flange sealant. Most wafer type butterfly valves have seats that serve as flange
    gaskets, and separate gaskets or sealant is not required. Apply Loctite® #242 to the
    bolt threads, then thread on the nuts, and torque them to 60-70 ft-lbs uniformly in
    increments of approximately 20ft-lbs.
    3. 4” 150# Flat Faced Flange
    Ensure that the alignment of the fixed monitor base for the 8500-03X and 8593-
    03X/294-11REV.06X is in the correct position for access to the left/right hand wheel.
    Attach 4" 150 lb. class ANSI pattern companion flange to water supply pipe. Elkhart
    Brass recommends using the 81317001 Companion Flange Kit. Attach monitor inlet
    flange to companion flange on water supply pipe with eight (8) 5/8-11 UNC grade 5
    carbon steel or stainless steel bolts, 2-1/2 inches long, with nuts. If a wafer type
    butterfly valve is installed between the monitor and the companion flange, required bolt
    length will be 4-1/2 inches. Seal flange joint with gasket, or suitable flange sealant.
    Most wafer type butterfly valves have seats that serve as flange gaskets, and separate
    gaskets or sealant is not required. Apply Loctite® #242 to bolt threads, then thread on
    nuts, and torque to 60-70 ft-lbs uniformly in increments of approximately 20ft-lbs.

    Warning: When installing monitor on a raised face companion flange or butterfly


    valve, it is critical that bolts be tightened uniformly to prevent cocking of the monitor relative to the
    flange or valve. If the monitor becomes cocked, (see Figure 1) the monitor cast flange base will
    fracture and fail when the bolts on the "high" side are tightened.

    III. OPERATING
    1. Tiller Handle Monitor 8500-02 and 8593-02
    Turn both left/right and up/down lock handles counterclockwise to
    disengage lock. Move tiller handle to desired left/right and up/down
    positions. Turn both lock handles clockwise to engage lock.
    2. Dual Hand Wheel Monitor 8500-03 and 8593-03/294-11REV.06
    The left/right and up/down hand wheels will rotate with the monitor. Turn
    the up/down hand wheel clockwise to lower nozzle or counterclockwise to
    raise nozzle. Turn the left/right hand wheel clockwise to move nozzle left
    or counterclockwise to move nozzle right.
    3. Dual Hand Wheel Fixed Base Monitor 8500-03X and 8593-
    03X/294-11REV.06X
    The left/right hand wheel remains fixed while the up/down hand wheel will
    rotate with the monitor. Turn the up/down hand wheel clockwise to lower
    nozzle or counterclockwise to raise nozzle. Turn the left/right hand wheel
    clockwise to move nozzle left or counterclockwise to move nozzle right.

    IV. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION


    The monitor should be inspected regularly. Careful inspection for damage to
    the monitor or nozzle is especially important after use in emergency
    operations.

    Flow water to check nozzle pattern. If pattern is disrupted, remove nozzle and
    check for debris lodged between the nozzle stem and body, or in the stream
    shaper inlet.

    During nozzle flow test, inspect monitor swivel joints for leaks.

    Note: Grease fittings are provided for the up-down and left-right rotation
    joints, routine greasing should be performed to expel water & other
    contaminants that can get into the rotation joints. If the monitor is exposed to
    a high level of radiant heat for a prolonged period, it may be possible for the
    factory grease to thin and run out of the rotation joints. In such an event, fresh
    grease should be applied. Use Mobilux EP2 or equivalent. Start at one end of
    travel range and apply grease through the fitting of each joint until fresh
    grease comes out the joint. Repeat every 30 degrees throughout the full
    range of travel on each rotation joint. Wipe off any expelled grease when
    done.
