Product Ratings - Akron TURBOJET Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

The following is intended to provide the basic instructions for operating a Turbojet nozzle. Read and understand these operating
instructions before use.

PRODUCT RATINGS:

Maximum Pressure: 580psi/40 bar for 1" only.
Maximum Pressure: 200 psi/14 bar for the 1
Maximum Pressure: 200 psi/14 bar for the 2
PRODUCT WARNINGS:
WARNING: Charge all lines slowly to facilitate a controlled water pressure build-up during start-up. Open and close slowly.
Rapid opening will produce a sudden thrust. Rapid opening and closing can cause water hammer. Have enough
firefighters on the line to safely control the reaction force created by the stream.
WARNING: At pressures below that indicated on the label, the nozzle will have reduced flow and reach. Be sure you have
enough flow and pressure for the situation (See IFSTA and NFPA manuals for guidelines).
WARNING: Do not use the Turbojet nozzle in portable hose holders.
WARNING: Ensure the Turbojet is aimed in a direction that is safe, prior to opening the shutoff bale.
WARNING: Do not use the Turbojet as a forcible entry tool. Doing so may damage it or make it inoperable.
WARNING: Ensure the thread on the nozzle swivel is matched to the thread on the hose connection.
WARNING: Do not use a Turbojet tip as a shut-off when testing hose.
WARNING: When operating at lower pressures the hose can kink more easily. A kink in the hose chokes off the flow, which may
result in inadequate flow for the situation.
PRODUCT CAUTIONS:
CAUTION: If any tags or bands on the nozzle are worn or damaged and cannot be easily read, they should be replaced.
CAUTION: After use with foam or salt water, flush with fresh water.
CAUTION: For firefighter use only.
CAUTION: When using with an eductor, make sure the nozzle is properly matched to the eductor. If they are not, the nozzle
flow, pressure, and reach may be reduced or the eductor may shutdown.
Do not throttle your Turbojet with an eductor in the line. This can cause the eductor to shut down.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the nozzle onto the hose connection.
CAUTION: The nozzle is configured for optimum performance. Do not alter in any manner.
CAUTION: Do not expose the pistol grip or shutoff handle to Trichlorethylene or Trichlorethane. these chemicals can weaken
the parts and make the nozzle inoperable over time.
CAUTION: Your nozzle should be inspected prior to and after each use, to ensure it is in good operating condition. Periodically,
an unanticipated incident may occur where the nozzle is used in a manner that is inconsistent with standard
operating practices and those listed in IFSTA. A partial list of potential misuses follows:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TURBOJET® NOZZLES & TIPS
• Operating above maximum rated pressure and flow.
• Not draining, and allowing water to freeze inside the nozzle.
• Dropping the nozzle from a height where damage is incurred.
• Prolonged exposure to temperatures above +130 degrees F, or below -25 degrees F.
• Operating in a corrosive environment.
• Other misuse that might be unique to your specific fire fighting environment.
