1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identifi ed by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535-2011, the defi 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
The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.
WARNING An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or fl ow will cause an ineff ective stream and can
result in injury, death, or loss of property. See fl ow graphs or call 800-348-2686 for assistance.
WARNING Injury or death may occur by attempting to use a damaged monitor. Before using the monitor,
inspect it for damage resulting from, but not limited to:
• Failure to drain monitor followed by exposure to freezing conditions.
See section DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER for instructions.
• Exposure of monitor to temperatures in excess of 160°F (71°C).
• Missing parts, physical abuse, exposure to severe chemicals.
• Deformed or cracked fl anges 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 150 lbs (70 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 suffi cient amounts of water. Such damage
may be diffi cult 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 qualifi ed personnel
before being considered safe for use.
WARNING Keep hands and fi ngers away from moving parts of the oscillating unit when water is fl owing.
There are moving parts that can pinch fi ngers and hands.
WARNING This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for fi refi ghting. Their use for other
purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and
training to reduce risk of injury.
CAUTION The electric monitor may be remotely operated. The electric drives are current limited but may
still produce enough force to cause injury. Keep hands and fi ngers away from pinch points on
the monitor.
CAUTION Do not use the manual override while the electric controls are in operation. The electric drives
produce enough torque to cause injury.
CAUTION Exceeding the operating envelope of the monitor can result in injury. Observe safe operation by
staying within the published limits.
CAUTION On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Be sure there
is suffi cient clearance to safely pass under any doors or overhead obstructions. Always check
parked position of the monitor before moving.
CAUTION Injury can result from the monitor changing direction due to an off center nozzle reaction. An off
center nozzle reaction may be caused by debris in the nozzle causing an asymmetrical stream.
NOTICE To prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment.

4.0 INSTALLATION
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions (LIY-500) For RC monitor. See LIY-700 for BlueTooth
controller setup.
4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
The structure that the EF1 RC 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 150 lbs (70 kg) (200 gpm at 200 psi).
For fl anged connections the use of fl at fl anges without raised
faces is recommended. Use a ring gasket as defi ned in ASME
16.21 or ISO 7483. Tighten fl ange bolts in an alternating sequence
as shown in fi gure 4.1. Tighten sequentially each bolt or stud
three times with 30%, then 60%, and fi nally 100% of the specifi ed
torque. Tighten to 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 Newton-Meters).

4.3 QUICK CONNECT INSTALLATION
A rotational lock is included on quick connect couplings. The locking pin also holds the coupling up and 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 suffi ciently 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.

4.4 NOZZLE INSTALLATION
The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads.
CAUTION The nozzle threads must match the threads of the monitor elbow 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 eff ects of corrosion can be greatly
delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing, or silicone grease.

4.6 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
There is no drain on the EF1 RC Monitor itself. A drain valve should be installed on the piping to which the monitor is attached.
WARNING All monitors, valves, and standpipes exposed to freezing conditions must be drained immediately
following use to prevent damage. To drain a standpipe, a drainage port must be opened
underground below the frost depth to keep water out of the standpipe until the next use.

5.0 OPERATION OF RC MONITORS
See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions LIY-500 for operation of the EF1 RC Monitor. See
LIY-700 for BlueTooth controller operation instructions.
6.0 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. If a support surface is not available, run the elevation against one of its 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 Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions (LIY-500) for information on
programming, OSCILLATE and PARK position of the EF1 RC monitor.
6.1 OVERRIDE HEX DRIVE
In the event of electrical system failure on the monitor or fi re truck, the EF1 RC Monitor is factory supplied with a hex drive so a 1/4”
hex wrench may be used for manual override. Pry the dust caps off from the horizontal or vertical shafts to access the hex drives.
¼” Hex Wrench
Understand manual before use. Operation of this device
without understanding the manual and receiving proper training is a misuse of
this equipment. Obtain safety information at www.tft.com/serial-number ZB1069

9.0 WARRANTY
Task Force Tips LLC, 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA (“TFT”) warrants to the original purchaser of its
nozzles and other equipment (“equipment”), and to anyone to whom it is transferred, that the equipment shall be free from defects in
material and workmanship during the fi ve (5) year period from the date of purchase.
TFT’s obligation under this warranty is specifi cally limited to replacing or repairing the equipment (or its parts) which are shown by
TFT’s examination to be in a defective condition attributable to TFT. To qualify for this limited warranty, the claimant must return the
equipment to TFT, at 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA, within a reasonable time after discovery of the
defect. TFT will examine the equipment. If TFT determines that there is a defect attributable to it, it will correct the problem within a
reasonable time. If the equipment is covered by this limited warranty, TFT will assume the expenses of repair.
If any defect attributable to TFT under this limited warranty cannot be reasonably cured by repair or replacement, TFT may elect to
refund the purchase price of the equipment, less reasonable depreciation, in complete discharge of its obligations under this limited
warranty. If TFT makes this election, claimant shall return the equipment to TFT free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.
This is a limited warranty. The original purchaser of the equipment, any person to whom it is transferred, and any person who is
an intended or unintended benefi ciary of the equipment, shall not be entitled to recover from TFT any consequential or incidental
damages for injury to person and/or property resulting from any defective equipment manufactured or assembled by TFT. It is agreed
and understood that the price stated for the equipment is in part consideration for limiting TFT’s liability. Some states or countries do

10.0 MAINTENANCE
The EF1 RC Monitor requires little maintenance. The unit should be kept clean and free of dirt by rinsing with water after each use.
Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced before placing the unit in service. Equipment can be returned to
the factory for service and/or testing.
CAUTION Any alterations to the monitor and its markings could diminish safety and constitutes a misuse
of this product
10.1 LUBRICATION
The EF1 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 fi gure 3.1 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 then inspect for other
causes of stiff operation.
Note: Do not over pump grease. The monitor’s greased areas lead to large chambers that could trap several pounds of
grease before becoming visible.
10.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Leaks Debris or damage in seal area Clean out debris or replace damaged parts
Elevation Binding Debris or damage to elevation drive parts Clean out debris or replace damaged parts
