Mismatched threads may allow the nozzle to suddenly come off under pressure possibly caus-

ing property damage and/or serious bodily injury.

PRODUCT CAUTIONS FOR SABERMASTER NOZZLE

CAUTION:

If any tags or bands on the nozzle are worn or damaged and cannot be easily read, they should

be replaced.

CAUTION:

For use with fresh water or standard fire fighting foams only. Not recommended for use with salt

water. After use with foam or salt water, flush with fresh water.

CAUTION:

For fire fighting use only.

CAUTION:

Do not over tighten the nozzle onto the monitor connection.

CAUTION:

The nozzle is configured for optimum performance. Do not alter in any manner.

CAUTION:

Your nozzle should be inspected prior and after each use, to ensure it is in good operating condi-

tions. 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:

There are many "tell tale" signs that indicate nozzle repair is in order, such as:

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 back in service.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRIC LADDER PIPE

•

Review the instructions, Wiring Schematic (Figure 2), Electrical Component Layout (Figure 3) before installing

this unit. This unit operates on 12 volt DC or 24 volt DC depending on the unit chosen. All electrical current

flows through the wires, the monitor does not act as a ground. The wires from the control boxes can be cut to

the length of the application plus 10 inches (see STEP 2). Do not extend the wires from the logic box to the

monitor.

• The auxiliary battery is used to operate the Electric Ladder Pipe. Do not extend the auxiliary battery wires.

This will ensure that the proper voltage and current are maintained at the monitor for it to operate properly.

The auxiliary battery is automatically recharged by the truck electrical system through the positive terminal

(auxiliary battery) and ground terminal on the circuit board (TB2) of the logic box (Figure 2). The vehicle bat-

tery terminal in the logic box must have power (turned on) whenever the truck is running so that the auxiliary

battery can be recharged properly. If possible, connect the positive wire (vehicle battery) from the logic box

directly to the main vehicle battery or main master switch. A diode in the logic box will prevent the auxiliary

battery from feeding current back into the main truck electrical system.

NOTE: This monitor is not designed for continuous use. A minimum of 11.5 volts must be held at the auxil-

iary battery to operate the monitor properly. If continuous use of the elevation motor exceeds 1 hour, the

auxiliary battery may drop under the minimum voltage requirement. Therefore, it is imperative that the vehicle

battery terminal in the logic box be wired hot.

• Not recommended for use in salt water applications.

• For firefighting by trained firefighters only.

• For use with water or standard fire fighting foams only. After use with foam, flush with fresh water.

• Do not use the Electric Ladder Pipe nozzle as a forcible entry tool.

• 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.

• Controls that are either inoperable or difficult to operate.

• Excessive wear.

• Poor discharge performance.

• Water leaks.
