A. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BALL SHUTOFF
• Open and close slowly.
• To open: Pull the handle toward the inlet.
• To close: Push the handle towards the outlet.
TIP WITH TWIST SHUTOFF
• Open and close slowly.
• To Open: Rotate the pattern sleeve / bumper counterclockwise to the desired spray angle. Note: The tip opens in a
straight stream pattern.
• To Close: Rotate the pattern sleeve / bumper clockwise until it closes.
NOZZLE & TIP
• To change the spray angle rotate the pattern sleeve/bumper. Rotate it clockwise for straight stream and
counterclockwise for wide fog.
• To flush the nozzle, rotate the flow control ring counterclockwise to the FLUSH setting. Rotate slowly back to the
required setting when obstruction is flushed.
• Turbojet nozzles have various flow settings indicated on flow control ring. To change the flow rate, slowly rotate the
flow control ring to the required setting and adjust your engine to provide the rated pressure at the inlet of the
nozzle.
• To determine the required engine pressures to achieve the flow setting, use the following formula: Engine pressure
(EP)= Friction Loss (FL) + Nozzle Pressure (NP) + pressure loss or gains due to elevation (1/2 psi per foot of height
difference).
FOR USE WITH CAFS
• For optimal CAFS Bubble Structure place the TurboJet pattern in straight stream and turn the flow control selection
ring to FLUSH.
B. MAINTENANCE
