Maintenance Instructions - Akron OMEGA XP MONITOR STYLE 3528 Instrucciones De Instalación, Operación Y Mantenimiento

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The tiller bar and the upper and lower brake knobs are used to control the monitor. To change the horizontal monitor
position toward the "RIGHT" or "LEFT", get a firm grip on the tiller bar handle and turn the lower brake knob counter-
clockwise until the unit can be easily rotated. Turn the same knob clockwise to lock the unit in the desired horizontal
position. To change the vertical monitor position upward or downward, get a firm grip
on the tiller bar handle and turn the upper brake knob counterclockwise until the unit can be easily elevated or lowered.
Turn the same knob clockwise to lock the unit in the desired elevation position.
CAUTIONS:
Your monitor and nozzle should be inspected prior to and after each use to ensure it is in good operating condition.
Periodically, an unanticipated incident occurs where the unit is misused in a manner that is inconsistent with standard
operating practices. A partial list of potential misuses includes:
• Operating above maximum rated pressure or flow.
• Not draining and allowing water to freeze in the unit.
• Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 140 degrees F, or below -40 degrees F.
• Operating in a corrosive environment.
• Other misuse that may be unique to your specific environment.
Also, there are many "tell tale" signs that indicate repair is in order, such as:
• A hand wheel that is inoperable or difficult to operate.
• Excessive wear.
• Poor discharge performance.
• Water leaks.
If any of the above situations are encountered, the monitor should be taken out of service, repaired and tested by a
qualified technician before placing it back in service.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Periodically lubricate the grease fittings with Mobilith SHC 460 or equivalent.
Inject the lubricant until it becomes visible from the bleeder holes in the center of the swivel plugs.
Grease fitting part number 122420 can be installed in place of the ball bearing plugs that do not have bleeder
holes. Grease coming out of the bleeder holes is normal and can be wiped away to prevent buildup.
• Periodically clean grit and dirt from around exterior moving parts.
• Periodically operate all functions of the monitor through its full travel.
• The brake mechanism on the horizontal and vertical travel may require periodic maintenance. To
check the adjustment, rotate the brake knob counterclockwise until it stops. Turning the brake knob
clockwise 1 to 1 1/2 turns should lock the monitor. If the monitor does not lock, remove the lock
mechanism, inspect for wear and replace components as necessary.
• Replace the identification tag if it is worn or damaged.
