1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety 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 Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:
2.0 SAFETY
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Task Force Tips HURRICANE Monitor is a simple, yet effective, fixed location master stream device available in manual and RC
versions.
3.1 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
.0
Table 3.1
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.
DANGER
An inadequate supply of pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and can result
in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate fire suppression. See flow
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 significant amounts of water. Such damage
may be difficult 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 qualified 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 sufficient 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 fingers away from pinch points on the monitor
• Never operate the manual override while electric controls are in operation

3.4 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided the equipment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the
equipment may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion, and is not covered under warranty.
To reduce galvanic corrosion, it is highly suggested to use galvanic isolator kits between the monitor & mounting flange. Order Part # Z-
G4A150 (4") or Z-G3A150 (3"). For additional protection with 4 inch flanges, we also offer a secondary extended isolator to use in
conjunction with the standard isolation gasket kit. Order Part # Z-FIS4A150S

WARNING
Damage or injury could result from operating the monitor beyond the safe operating envelope. Do
not operate the monitor outside the envelope in the following graph(s).
NOTICE
If equipped with a TFT Corrosion Isolation Sleeve, the use of a gasket on either side of the sleeve is
required. Do not use a TFT Corrosion Isolation Sleeve as a gasket replacement.

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions LIY-500.
4.2 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
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 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 below. Tighten sequentially each bolt or stud three times to 30%,
then 60%, and finally 100% of the specified torque. Tighten to a total of 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 N·m).
Figure 4.2
4.2.1 MOUNTING THE MONITOR
The Hurricane Monitor is mounted on a riser pipe by a bolted flange or threaded joint. The area around the monitor must be free from
obstructions which would limit its range of motion and usefulness. If a valve is mounted under the HURRICANE, make sure the monitor
will not interfere with the valve handle. If a butterfly valve is mounted under the monitor make sure that the butterfly valve assembly does
not interfere with the flanged base.
WARNING
Reaction forces generated by master stream flows are capable of causing injury and property
damage if not properly supported. Monitors should be securely installed by qualified 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 flanges or pipe made from plastic for monitor mounting.
• Torque all fasteners to specified values.

4.7 NOZZLE INSTALLATION
The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads. If the nozzle is installed on a Hurricane 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.
4.7.1 ER NOZZLE INSTALLATION ORIENTATION
For nozzles with electric pattern control, a waterproof connector wire is provided at the
bottom outlet of the Hurricane RC’s control station box. This wire attaches directly to
TFT’s electric Masterstream 1250 nozzle. The electric actuator box of nozzle must be
oriented to the top side of nozzle for the connection wire to extend 90° above horizontal
and 45° below elevation movement.
Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions (LIY-500) for properly attaching
female to male connectors). Any other nozzle should have the corresponding male
electrical connector installed and long enough wire to extend 90° above horizontal and
45° below elevation movement of the nozzle.
4.8 PRESSURE GAUGE PORT
There is a ¼” NPT female threaded hole behind the elevation handwheel (see Figure 3.5C). The hole is 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.
4.9 AUTOMATIC DRAIN
An automatic drain is included to empty water from a low point in the monitor piping to prevent
freezing and help empty hose lines. The valve is designed to close automatically when pressure in
the monitor exceeds approximately 5 psi, and open again when the pressure drops to that point.
The automatic drain may be disabled if not desired for your application.
To disable the drain valve:
1. Unscrew the drain assembly and remove the screw and washer.
2. Flip over the rubber drain valve so the raised edge is against the face of the housing.
3. Reassemble the screw and washer using blue Loctite, and reinstall the drain valve assembly.
A secondary drain valve should be installed the monitor’s inlet piping to drain water in the riser.
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.
NOTICE
TFT’s Masterstream 1250 ER nozzle’s electric actuator box must be on the top side. Align the
actuator body and the waterway body to as shown.
NOTICE
DO NOT cut off the female connector on the monitor. This connector is molded onto the wire and
must remain intact to maintain the water tightness of the electrical system.
WARNING
Monitors, valves, and piping may be damaged if frozen while containing sufficient amounts of
water. Such damage may be difficult 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.
