4.5 FLUSH CONTROL

Small debris passes though the debris screen and may get caught inside the

nozzle. This trapped material will cause poor stream quality, shortened reach,

and reduced ﬂ ow. To remove small debris, the nozzle may be ﬂ ushed as follows:

While still ﬂ owing water, rotate the selector ring counterclockwise (as viewed

from behind the nozzle) to the ﬂ ush position. Rotate the selector ring out of

ﬂ ush to continue normal operations. The nozzle operator must be prepared for

a change in nozzle reaction when going into or returning from ﬂ ush.

WARNING

5.1 FLOW CONTROL

On models that use a lever type valve handle, the nozzle is shut

off when the handle is fully forward. The valve handle has 5

detented ﬂ ow positions. These detent positions allow the nozzle

operator to regulate the ﬂ ow of the nozzle depending on the need

or what can be safely and effectively handled. TFT recommends

the use of a pistol grip for easier handling. For additional stress

reduction, a hose rope or strap may also be used. This permits

more effective use and ease of advancement, while minimizing

strain and fatigue

Large amounts or pieces of debris may be unﬂ ushable and can reduce the ﬂ ow of the nozzle

resulting in an ineffective ﬂ ow. In the event of a blockage, it may be necessary to retreat to a

safe area, uncouple the nozzle and remove debris.
