1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identied by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the denitions 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, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.
2.0 SAFETY
DANGER
An inadequate supply of pressure and/or ow will cause an ine󰀨ective stream and can result
in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate re suppression. See ow
graphs.
WARNING
Injury or damage can occur from an inadequately supported monitor. The mounting must be
capable of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 1500 lbs.
WARNING The stream exiting a nozzle is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the nozzle is securely attached and pointing in a safe direction before water is turned
on. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.
WARNING Equipment may be damaged if frozen while containing signicant amounts of water. Such damage
may be di󰀩cult to detect visually. Subsequent pressurization can lead to injury or death. Any time
the equipment is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be tested and approved for
use by qualied personnel before being considered safe for use
WARNING On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Damage or
injury could occur if there is not su󰀩cient clearance to safely pass under doors or overhead
obstructions. Always check parked position of the monitor before moving.
CAUTION The electric drives are current limited but may still produce enough force to cause injury. To avoid
injury from a moving monitor:
• Be aware that the monitor may be remotely operated
• Keep hands and ngers away from pinch points on the monitor
• Never operate the manual override while electric controls are in operation

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions LIY-500.
4.2 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING Reaction forces generated by master stream ows are capable of causing injury and property
damage if not properly supported. Monitors should be securely installed by qualied individuals.
• Mounting objects must be capable of withstanding maximum nozzle reaction force listed in
• SPECIFICATIONS.
• The monitor must be securely mounted to rigid support members.
• Do not use anges or pipe made from plastic for monitor mounting.
• Torque all fasteners to specied values.
The structure that the 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 1100 lbs (500 kg)(2100 gpm at 100 psi).
For anged connections, the use of at anges without raised faces is recommended. Use a ring gasket as dened in ASME 16.21
or ISO 7483. Tighten ange bolts in an alternating sequence as shown below. Tighten sequentially each bolt or stud three times to
30%, then 60%, and nally 100% of the specied torque. Tighten to a total of 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 N·m).

4.8 NOZZLE INSTALLATION
The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads. If the nozzle is installed on a Typhoon RC (with electric motors) assure
that the nozzle’s actuator does not make contact with the horizontal drive motor housing when the monitor is in its lowest elevation
position.
CAUTION Mismatched or damaged waterway connections may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under
pressure. Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched connections.
CAUTION Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability
to uncouple the connection, or complete loss of engagement over time. Failure could cause
injury. Per NFPA 1962, if dissimilar metals are left coupled together, an anti-corrosive lubricant
should be applied to the connection and the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at
least quarterly.
4.9 PRESSURE GAUGE PORT
There is a ¼” NPT female threaded hole on the back of the monitor and the exit elbow (see Figure 3.4). 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.
4.10 TILLER HANDLE INSTALLATION
For tiller models, the handle is shipped loose from the monitor and must be installed to complete the installation process. When
installing the tiller handle, be sure to coat the threads of the mounting screw with the Loctite supplied in the hardware packet.
4.11 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
There is no drain on the 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󰀩cient amounts of
water. Such damage may be di󰀩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.
CAUTION Structural damage from corrosion can result from failure to drain appliance between uses. Damage
from corrosion can cause injury due to equipment failure. Always drain appliance between uses.
4.12 LADDER MONITOR INSTALLATION
Due to the unique mounting orientations found on ladder trucks, an anti-back-drive mechanism gearbox is included on ladder models
to prevent unintended monitor/nozzle movement due to vibration. The gearbox allows the motor and manual override wheel to turn
the monitor in both directions, while preventing the monitor from back-driving the motor and manual override wheel.
NOTICE The anti-back-drive mechanism adds to the overall size of the monitor. To prevent damage due
to interference, always ensure adequate clearance when installing the monitor.
For installations where adequate clearance for the anti-back-drive gearbox is not available, an electronic method to help prevent
unintended monitor/nozzle movement due to vibration is available. The electronic method can be used only if the monitor is always
powered while the truck is in operation. See LIY-500 Section for wiring and programming information.
5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions LIY-500 for operation of the Typhoon RC Monitors.
5.1 HANDWHEEL HORIZONTAL ROTATIONAL CONTROL
A handwheel controls the monitor’s horizontal rotation direction. Clockwise rotation of the handwheel moves the nozzle to the left and
counter-clockwise rotation to the right. Approximately 14 turns of the handwheel will give a 90 degree change in horizontal rotation
direction.
5.2 HANDWHEEL ELEVATION CONTROL
A handwheel controls the monitor’s elevation direction. Clockwise rotation of the handwheel lowers the elevation and counterclockwise
raises it. About 18 turns of the handwheel will give the complete 135 degree elevation travel range of the monitor.

5.3 TILLER BAR CONTROL
On the Tiller Bar model the horizontal rotation is changed by
pushing or pulling horizontally on the Tiller Handle. Twisting the
Rotation Locking Knob clockwise will increase the drag on the
lower swivel joint to “lock” the monitor in a particular direction.

5.4 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 the 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 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.
5.5 OVERRIDE KNOBS
In the event of electrical system failure on the monitor or re
truck, the Typhoon Monitor may be manually operated with factory
supplied override knobs. To make the Typhoon RC more compact,
the manual override knobs may be removed. Removing the
override knobs exposes a hex so an 11/16” wrench or socket may
be used for manual override.
Figure 5.5
WARNING Debris in the nozzle may cause o󰀨 center nozzle reaction. Injury or damage from spinning or
sudden movement of the monitor could occur. To reduce the risk of an out of control monitor:
• Always check for waterway obstructions before owing water
• Always keep the rotation lock tight when not rotating the monitor
• Always keep one hand on the tiller handle when loosening the rotation lock
• When 360° rotation is not needed, install horizontal rotation stop bolts to limit monitor travel
