GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Mercury monitor has a carrying handle for easy handling and a 2 1/2" Ball valve for advancing or extending a line
(Figure 2). The outlet has 2 1/2" threads and the spikes are made of carbide for better wear resistance. The Safety strap
can be used as a carrying strap by shortening the strap to its smallest length and attaching the hook into the hole at the
back of the handle.
The monitor is supplied with three carbide tipped spikes that imbed into the surface on which it is operating. These
spikes will not grip on metal, marble, or similar hard surfaces. Do not operate on these surfaces without securing the unit
with the safety strap.
