Akron STYLE 5150 MERCURYMASTER 1000 GPM NOZZLE Instrucciones De Operación página 4

There are many "tell tale" signs that indicate nozzle repair is in order, such as:
• Controls that are either inoperable or difficult to operate.
• Excessive wear.
• Poor discharge performance.
• Water leaks.
If any of the above situations are encountered, the nozzle should be taken out of service and repaired, plus tested by
qualified nozzle technicians, prior to placing it back in service.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To change the spray angle, rotate the pattern sleeve clockwise for straight stream or counterclockwise fog .
DETERMINING FLOW
In determining flows or attempting to achieve specific flows with an automatic nozzle, it is important to understand that:
The nozzle closely maintains 75 P.S.I. nozzle pressure over the nozzle's operating range. Consequently, you can use the following
formula to determine given flows:
EP=FL+NP (+loss or gain due to elevation)
EP=Engine Pressure
FL=Friction loss for hose or plumbing and appliance loss at the desired GPM
NP=Nozzle Pressure
NOTE: Loss or gain due to elevation = approximately
With an MercuryMaster 1000 nozzle, assign 75 P.S.I. nozzle pressure at all times.
MAINTENANCE
• Under normal conditions, periodically flushing the nozzle with clean water and cleaning grit and dirt from around exterior moving
parts will allow the nozzle to operate as designed .
• Over time the seals and turbine teeth may need to be replaced. This can be accomplished by purchasing the appropriate Akron
repair parts. Use Qualified maintenance mechanics or return the nozzle to Akron Brass for repair.
