you may be called upon to use.

3. It is your responsibility to know that you have been properly trained in

Fireﬁghting and /or Emergency Response and in the use, precautions, and

care of any equipment you may be called upon to use.

4. It is your responsibility to be in proper physical condition and to maintain

the personal skill level required to operate any equipment you may be

called upon to use.

1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

Asafety 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 Z535.6-2006, the deﬁnitions of the four signal words are as follows:

DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious

injury.

WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor

or moderate injury.

NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.

2.0 SAFETY

The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.

WARNING Injury or death may occur by attempting to use a damaged monitor. Before using the monitor

inspect it for damage resulting from:

• Failure to drain monitor followed by exposure to freezing conditions

• Exposure of monitor to temperatures in excess of 160 degrees F

• Structural damage caused by over-pressurization

• Missing parts, physical abuse, exposure to severe chemicals

• Deformed or cracked ﬂanges damaged as a result of improper installation

- Excessive bolt torque

- Wrong tightening sequence

WARNING Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of

supporting 400 lbs (180 kg) of nozzle reaction force.

WARNING 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.

WARNING The monitor may be damaged if frozen while containing sufﬁcient amounts of water. Such damage

may be difﬁcult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. Any time the monitor is

subject to possible damage from freezing, it must be hydrostatically tested by qualiﬁed personnel

before being considered safe for use.

CAUTION The electric Tornado 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 Do not use the manual override knobs while the electric controls are in operation. The electric

drives produce enough torque to cause injury.

CAUTION Maximum ﬂow and pressure is 500 gpm (1900 l/min) and 200 psi (14 bar). Damage or injury may

result if the monitor is operated beyond these limits.

CAUTION On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Be sure there

is sufﬁcient clearance to safely pass under any doors or overhead obstructions. Always check

parked position of the monitor before moving.

CAUTION Use with salt water is permissible provided the monitor is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water

after each use. The service life of the monitor may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion

and is not covered under warranty.

4.0 INSTALLATION

See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions For Use With Tornado RC Models

4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITOR MOUNTING

The structure that the Tornado Monitor is mounted to must

withstand the internal pressure of the monitor, as well as shear

and bending forces due to nozzle reaction. Nozzle reaction can be

as high as 400 lbs (180 kg) (500 gpm at 200 psi).

For ﬂanged connections, the use of ﬂat ﬂanges without raised

faces is recommended. Use a ring gasket as deﬁned in ASME

16.21 or ISO 7483. Tighten ﬂange bolts in an alternating sequence

as shown in ﬁgure 4.1. Tighten to 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 Newton-

Meters).

Tighten sequentially

each bolt three times.

3 4

Fig 4.1 Flange Bolt Tightening Sequence

WARNING Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable

of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 400 lbs (180 kg). Flanges and

pipe made from plastic are inadequate for monitor mounting and must not be used. This monitor

is not recommended for portable use.

4.2 QUICK CONNECT INLET MOUNTING AND TRAVEL RANGES

Figure 3.3 shows the various Inlet Adapters used on the Tornado. These Inlet Adapters must be oriented upon installation so the

Tornado will point in the desired direction. Figure 4.2A shows examples of Inlet Adaptors and the location of a “Straight Ahead

Reference Mark”. This ﬁgure also gives some information about securing the Tornado to the Inlet Adapter. Travel ranges relative to

the Straight Ahead Reference Mark are shown in Figure 4.2B. Figure 4.2C gives the location of the “Stop Bolts”, which are used to

limit the travel.

Arotational lock is included on quick connect couplings on RC models.The locking pin also holds the coupling up out of the way while

orienting the monitor to engage the internal ear into the slot on the adaptor. Hold the pin out, push the coupling up and the release

pin before installing monitor on the adaptor. Once the monitor is properly aligned on the adaptor, hold the pin out while sliding the

coupling down to the adaptor. Rotate the coupling until it is tight. The coupling may become sufﬁciently tight before reaching the next

detent position. It is not necessary to over tighten the coupling if the pull pin is between detent positions. Do not use the pull pin as

a lever to tighten or loosen the coupling.

Fig 4.2C Stop Bolt Use

4.3 NOZZLE INSTALLATION

The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads.

CAUTION The nozzle threads must match the threads of the Tornado monitor in both size and type.

Mismatched or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and

could cause injury.

CAUTION Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together

can cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of thread

engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the effects of corrosion can be

greatly delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing, or

silicone grease.

4.4 PRESSURE GAGE PORT

There is a raised boss on the back of the monitor. This raised boss is not machined from the factory but may be drilled and tapped

for ¼ NPT threads if a pressure gage is desired on the monitor.

4.5 HANDLE INSTALLATION

For the manual Tornado, the tiller handle must be attached to complete the installation process. Attach the handle with the supplied

hardware. Use the loctite in the hardware packet to coat the threads of the mounting screws.

4.6 DRAIN

There is no drain on the Tornado Monitor itself. A drain valve should be installed on the monitor’s inlet piping.

5.0 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. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the apparatus is traveling. Always be sure the

monitor is properly parked before moving the truck and know the overall height to avoid damage from overhead obstructions such

as doors or bridges.

See LIY-500 for information on programming PARK position.

5.1 OVERRIDE KNOBS

In the event of electrical system failure on the monitor or ﬁre

apparatus,theTornadoRCMonitorisfactorysuppliedwithoverride

knobs so the monitor may be manually operated. If desired, the

override knobs may be removed. The drive shafts have a hex so a

wrench or socket may be used for manual override. The wrenching

hexes are shown in ﬁgure 5.1. 11/16” (18mm) HEX
