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 standard Z535.4-1998 the definitionsof the threesignal words are as follows:

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardoussituation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

2.0 SAFETY

The operation of this monitor, particularly with the portable base can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.

Low nozzle elevation angles can cause portable monitors to slide or lift off the ground which can

DANGER

result in injury or death. Do not operate the monitor on the portable base below the elevation safety stop.

An out of control monitor can cause injury or death. To reduce risk of instability, do not attempt to move the portablemonitor with waterflowing.

WARNING

Injury can occur from an inadequately supported monitor. When the monitor is used on a truck the mounting must be capable of supporting 900 lbs (400 KG) of nozzle reaction force. Note: the storage bracket is intended for storage of the monitor only. It is not strong enough to withstand the forces of monitor operation. Flanges and pipe made from plastic are inadequate for monitor mounting and mustnot be used.

Page 3

WARNING

A sliding monitorcan cause injury. To protectagainst sliding:

• make surethe base legs are lockedin position withall leg spikesin contact with the ground.

• securely tiethe monitor to an objectcapable of withstanding900 lbs (400 kg) of force.

• use additionaltie downs on hard surfacessuch as concrete,asphalt, and metal.

• avoid liftingthe monitor when moving thehoses around it.

This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Their use for other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and training to reducerisk of injury.

Some volatile liquidscan be ignitedby static discharge. Static build-upcan occur from:

Electrochemical separation of charge as water drains through low conductivity, refined

products.

Applying foam over a low conductivity liquid of sufficient depth to retain the charge created as

the foam blanketdrains.

Streaming currents aswater or foamis introduced into the storagetank.

Water is a conductor of electricity. Application of water solutions on high voltage equipment can cause injury or death by electrocution. The amount of current that may be carried back to the nozzle will depend onthe following factors:

Voltage of the lineor equipment

Distance from thenozzle to theline or equipment

Size of thestream

Whether the streamis solid orbroken

Master stream flows are very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage. Make

CAUTION

sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction before water to the monitor is turnedon. Use carein directing the stream.

Nozzle must be properly connected. Mismatched or damaged threads may cause nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressureand could causeinjury.

Do not couple aluminum to brass. Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that canresult in inabilityto unscrew threads or completeloss of threadengagement.

4.0 CROSSFIRE DEPLOYMENT

The CROSSFIRE monitor can be used on either a truck mount adaptor, Extend-A-Gun or portable base. Installation on either base makes use ofa quick connect swivel joint.The use of each base and thequick connect jointis explained in the following sections.

4.1 QUICK CONNECT SWIVEL JOINT

Two pawls, actuated by the slide bar, engage in the base swivel to make the quick connect joint. A safety plunger engages in the slide bar to preventaccidental unlocking of the slidebar when the monitor is under pressure.

4.2 INSTALLING MONITOR ON BASE

To install the monitoron either thetruck mount flange or portable base: Referto figures 4.2.1,4.2.2, & 4.2.3.

C) Push the slide bar down, watch the pawls engage the groove in the base and the safety plunger engage in the hole in the slide bar.

4.3 REMOVING MONITOR TOP FROM BASE

To remove the monitorfrom it’s base:

• Stop allwater flow.

• Depress thesafety plunger and lift theslide bar which will disengage the springloaded pawls fromthe groove in the base.

• Lift themonitor straight up off thebase by the handle on top ofthe monitor.

4.4 SIDE-TO-SIDE ROTATION AND ROTATION LOCK

Side-to-side rotation is accomplished by rotating the monitor on its base. The rotational position can be locked by moving the rotation lock lever to its down position as shown in Figures 4.4.1 & 4.4.2. Before the monitor is removed from the base, the rotation lock should be manually disengaged. A small spring holds the rotational lock in the unlocked position. When not rotating the monitor on the base, keep the rotationlock locked.

Page 6

WARNING

Figure 4.4.1

Unlocked

A sliding monitor can cause injury. When used on a portable base, keep the horizontal angle between the water stream and the anchor strap as small as possible. At large angles the base can slide in an arc around the anchor point.

Figure 4.4.2

Locked

4.5 ELEVATION CONTROL AND STOP PIN

When a nozzle is flowing water the reaction force acts in a straight line that is directly opposite the water flowing out the end of the nozzle. If a nozzle on a monitor on a portable base is pointed straight up, all of the reaction force is directed straight down and there is no sideways force that can cause the base to slide. As the nozzle is angled downward at the same flow, the reaction force remains the same, but some of that force becomes a force acting sideways and some acts in a downward direction. When the nozzle is at an angle of 45° the force acting sideways is equal to the force acting downward on the base. As the elevation angle of the nozzle is lowered the sideways force increases while the downward force decreases. At an angle of 35°, (the angle at the elevation safety stop), approximately 82% of the nozzle reaction forceis acting sideways on the base. Whenthe nozzle is at a zero degree angle, with respect to the base, the entire reaction force is acting sideways on thebase and there is no downward force atall. The lower the elevation angle of the nozzle,with respect to the base,the greater the force that causes sliding,and the morelikely sliding will occur.

Operating on a portable base below this safety stop is DANGEROUS. Do not operate

DANGER

When mounted on a truck base, the nozzle may be lowered below the 35° safety stop by pulling out the stop pin and rotating the handwheel below the 35° stop. When the nozzle is raised back above 35°, the spring loaded stop pin will snap back into position automatically limiting theelevation of the nozzle withrespect to the base to 35°.

4.6 AUTOMATIC DRAIN

An automatic drain empties 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. When the automatic drain isnot desirable itmay be disabled. To disable thedrain valve refer to the exploded view on page 12 and followthe steps below:

1) Unscrew thedrain assembly (40, 41, 42,& 43) and remove the screw andwasher (42 &43)

2) Flip overthe rubber drain valve (41)so that the raised edge is againstthe face ofthe housing (40).

3) Reassemble.

on portable base below safety stop. Injury or death can occur if the monitor and base slides or lifts off the ground.

4.7 TRUCK MOUNT BASE

The CROSSFIRE® monitor may be used from a truck by using a truck mount adapter. The truck mount adapter can be bolted to the riser pipe with a 3" ANSI 150# or 4" ANSI 150# companion flange and gasket using 5/8" bolts. It can also be screwed directly on a male pipe thread. Use of pipe thread sealant is recommended. The riser must be supported to safely withstand a nozzle reaction force of up to 900 lbs (400 KG). Make sure that no interference exists between the monitor and other deck mounted equipment in any direction. See truck mountbase installation instructions for details,document #LIX-045.

A drain valve should be provided in the riser pipe which supplies the monitor. The riser should be drained immediately after each use during cold weather to preventfreezing and possible damage. The monitor has anautomatic drain. If this drainhas been disabled (see section 4.6), the monitor must be drained by lowering the nozzle below horizontal. Installation instructions are supplied with the truck mount base.

4.8 TRUCK MOUNTING OF THE PORTABLE BASE

In some cases a user may not have a riser directly off of the pump that can be used for mounting the monitor. In this case it may be desirable to supply the monitor with hose lines connected to the side discharge of the pumper. In these circumstances it is recommended that the user purchase a Deck Mount Plate, TFT part XF400-KIT, from the manufacturer. Please call 1-800-348-2686 for further information and advice concerningmounting alternatives. Installation instructions areshipped with this accessory. The storage bracket, TFT part XF-B, for the base unit IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH to withstand the forces encountered with an operating monitor and is notintended for this purpose.

4.9 CROSSFIRE® USAGE

Because of the arched trajectory of a fire stream, it is recommended that a spotter be used to accurately direct the stream from the monitor. Master streamsflows are powerful and capable of injuryand damage toproperty. Use greatcare in directing the stream.

4.10 FLOWS & PRESSURES

The CROSSFIRE® monitor is designed for maximum flows of 1250 gpm (5000 l/min) on the truck mount adaptor, 800 gpm (3000 l/min) on the STOW-A-WAYportable base anda maximum pressure of 175 psi (12bar). Do notexceed these limits.

4.10.2 AUTOMATIC MASTER STREAM NOZZLES

Automatic nozzles maintain a constant pressure by adjusting their opening to match the available flow. Consult the nozzle manufacturer for maximum flow and pressure ratings. In all cases, do not exceed 1250 gpm (5000 l/min) or 175 psi (12 bar) on a truck mounted monitor or800 gpm (3000 l/min) onthe STOW-A-WAYbase.

4.10.3 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS

Stream quality, especially with smooth bore nozzles, is generally improved with a stream straightener because the water must make many bends passingthrough a monitor.

4.11 TRANSPORTING MONITOR ON TRUCK MOUNT BASE

If the monitor is to be transported on a truck mount base, the horizontal lock should be kept locked to keep the monitor from spinning on its base. The rotational position can be locked by moving the rotation lock lever to its down position. The nozzle may be supported by a bracketor pointed straight up.

5.0 STOW-A-WAY 800 BASE

The portable base allows the monitor to be positioned in places that are not accessible with a fire truck. The legs are made of stainless spring steel and will flex when in use to compensate for small ground irregularities. It is intended for maximum flows of 800 gpm (3000 l/min).

5.1 SITE SELECTION

Safe operation of the monitor on the portable base begins with site selection. The site should be a safe distance from the fire yet within reach of the nozzle stream. Select a flat even surface within 8 feet of a sturdy stationary object that can be used as an attachment point for the anchorstrap. Set up the portablebase with the anchor point between theportable base anddesired target of the nozzle stream.

5.2 EXTENDING PORTABLE BASE LEGS

The portable baselegs are extended by followingthese steps:

(Refer to figures5.2.1, 5.2.2, & 5.2.3)

a) Hold the base carrying handle with one hand and grasp the end of one of the longer legs with the other hand. Pull this leg away from the base forward in an arc, until the locking pin engages. The locking pin is spring loaded and automatically engages when the legs are in the correct position. Watch the leg lock knob drop down, even with the lower band on the base,indicated by an arrow.

b) Repeat procedure(a) to extend other setof legs.

c) Set portable base on even ground with all leg spikes in contact with the ground.

Lift off the storage cap and remove the anchor strap from inside the base. Keep the anchor strap near the monitor as it will be used to anchor monitor beforeuse.

5.3 RETRACTING PORTABLE BASE LEGS

For carrying and storage, the legs areretracted as follows:

a) Pull up on one of the spring loaded leg lock knobs, grasp the forward leg, on the same side, and push it, in an arc, towards the rear of the unit. The leg lock knob may be released as soon as the front leg begins to move out of position. Continue to push until both legs come in contactwith the rear stop.

b) Repeat procedure(a) to retract the otherlegs.

5.4 PORTABLE BASE LEG SPIKES

The STOW-A-WAY Base has5 tungsten carbidetipped spikes onthe legs andbase to resist sliding by digging into the surface the base is sitting on. The amount of sideways force these spikes can withstand depends upon several factors, particularly, the amount of downward and sideways force that is on the base and the hardness and texture of the surface the spikes are in contact with. At low elevation angles it is difficult for these spikes to resist sliding. This is why the portable base must be well anchored. These spikes are essential to safe operation of the monitor base and must be in contact with the ground at all times. Do not operate without first securing the monitor with safety lines to prevent sliding. Set the monitor on an even surface so that all the spikes contact the ground. See section

6.0 for spikeinspection procedures.

5.5 PORTABLE BASE ANCHORING

Whenever the monitor is operated on the portable base, the base must be anchored to a substantial immovable object. An attachment point is provided on the front of the base for this purpose. A strap, with a minimum breaking strength of 3000 lbs (1300 kg) of force, is supplied with the portable base. A loop on the end of the strap may be placed over the anchor point or the strap may be wrapped around an object, such as a tree, and the snap end of the strap passed through the loop and pulled tight. Keep the entire length of the strap as close to the ground as possible. Snap the hook into the hole in the front of the portable base below the carrying handle. The length of the strap may be adjusted by the sliding the buckle on the strap. If the strap is too short to reach a suitable anchor, it may be extended with strong rope or chain. Keep the distance between the base and anchor point as short as possible.

A sliding monitor can cause injury. Remove all slack between the anchor and base

WARNING

At low nozzle elevation angles the base may also require additional anchoring.The ability of a single anchor to stop sliding is a function of the horizontal angle between the strap and water stream. When the stream is in line with the anchor any sliding willbe arrested by the anchor. As the horizontal angle increases between the anchor strap and the stream, the base can begin to slide in an arc around the anchor point. Inthis situation multiple anchor pointsmay be required.

The strap should be stored inside the monitor base when not in use. The black rubber cap on the strap will hold the strap in the base and protect thesealing surface of the quickconnect swivel joint.

before flowing water.

5.6 ADDING A FLOW SAFETY VALVE

The STOW-A-WAY 800 portable basedoes not containa flow safety valve.

A flow safety valve upgrade kit #XF500-KIT may be added to this portable base at any time to gain the features of the flow safety valve. The kit maybe installed in the fieldor at the factory.

The flow safety valve reduces the flow area through the monitor by 90%., should the base loose contact with the ground for any reason. In the reducedflow condition, the nozzle reactionis less thereby reducing the risk ofinjury.

Page 10

5.7 HOSE CONNECTION

Make the hose connection(s) to the portable base and extend the hose(s) straight back from the portable base at least 10 feet (3 meters). If only one inlet of a double inlet base be used, a clapper valve will automatically close off the other inlet. Use caution when turning on the water to the monitor on the portable base. As the hose fills it will become stiff and may cause the monitor and portable base to slideor tip or both. Openthe pumper valve to the monitor slowly.

STORAGE

5.8 PORTABLE BASE STORAGE

STORAGE

BRACKET

The portable base may be stored in a compartment, on the optional storage bracket, TFT part number XF-B. This bracket is NOT designed to withstand the reaction forces of an operating monitor stream. It is to be used for storage and transportation only. The storage bracket may be mounted on a horizontal surface, horizontally or vertically on a vertical surface, or on the underside of a horizontal surface such as the top of a compartment. A strap helps hold the base on the bracket. Mounting instructionsare supplied with the bracket.

5.9 PRESSURE RELIEF OPTION

The optional pressure relief valve on the single inlet portable base can be adjusted to open between 50 and 200 psi. The pressure relief valve, TFT part A1820, is set at the factory to open at 150 psi. To change the relief pressure refer to the label on the
