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 your monitor properly supported to 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:
Ensure the nozzle is aimed in a direction that is safe, prior to flowing .
