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.

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

6.3.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES
When using a fog nozzle for flows below 300 gpm (1,100 l/min), it is recommended that no stream straightener be used since the
fog nozzle’s flow path serves as a stream straightener. Above 300 gpm (1,100 l/min), TFT’s 5 inch Stream Straightener will generally
improve a fog nozzle’s stream.

7.0 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The Tornado Monitor requires little maintenance. The monitor should be kept clean and free of dirt. All controls should be checked
for freedom of movement and proper operation periodically. Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced
immediately.
Make sure that the monitor rotates freely and without binding throughout its range of travel.
Make sure that there are no leaks when the monitor is flowing water.
Make sure the nozzle is free of debris.
7.1 LUBRICATION
The Tornado monitor generally should not require greasing. In the event that the operation becomes stiff, grease may be applied
to the horizontal rotation and elevation worm gears. See figure 3.2B for grease port locations. Use medium viscosity automotive
chassis grease. Apply only enough grease to restore normal operation. If normal operation is not restored by greasing, inspect for
other causes of stiff operation.
Note: Do not over pump grease. The grease fittings are located close to the seals and only an ounce or so of grease should be
sufficient.
7.2 PERFORMANCE TESTING
Performance tests should be conducted on the Tornado Monitor after repairs are made, or any time a problem is reported to verify
operation in accordance with Task Force Tips test procedures. Consult the factory for the procedure that corresponds to the model
and serial number of your monitor.Any equipment that fails the test criteria should be removed from service immediately. Equipment
can be returned to the factory for service and testing.
