Info

The oscillating mechanism is driven by a turbine wheel. A worm gear drive reduces the speed and increases the torque of theturbine wheel. A simple crank mechanism makes the outlet of the Blitzfire and the nozzle attached to it move back and forth. Thehorizontal sweep can be set for a 20, 30 and 40 degree sweep. The oscillating mechanism can be uncoupled and the waterstream can be aimed manually. Elevation angle is set the same as the standard Blitzfire.The speed of oscillation is a function of flow rate, see the Blitzfire Oscillation Speed graph on page 14.6.3 CONTROL IDENTIFICATION - OSCILLATORSWINGSTOP KNOBSTART KNOBTURBINE HOUSINGPUSH& HOLDSWEEP ANGLESETTING KNOB STOPOSCILLATION CONTROLCONNECTING RODGEAR BOXSLIDE40° - 30° - 20°PULLSWEEP ANGLE CHANGE6.4 USE - OSCILLATORDeploy the Oscillation Blitzfire as you would the standard Blitzfire, see section 4.0. Align the base of the Blitzfire with the center ofthe area you wish to coverTo Engage The Oscillating Mechanism: If the nozzle moves freely left to right by hand, the oscillating mechanism is notengaged. Depress the green START KNOB and move the nozzle from one side to the other until the roll pin drops in the groove inthe connecting rod. Open the valve on the Blitzfire and adjust the elevation to hit the desired spot. The minimum flow is 175 GPM(650 L/min). To adjust the area of coverage, pull the silver knob and move it left or right until the pointer aligns with the desiredangle of coverage.To Disengage The Oscillating Mechanism: To operate the oscillating Blitzfire Manually, depress the Red STOP KNOB and movethe Nozzle to the desired position by hand. The green START KNOB will pop up to indicate the mechanism is disengaged. Thecrank and connecting rod will continue to move.©Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2002-200512LIX-630 September 22, 2005 Rev05
To protect the gears from overload, the oscillating mechanism willdisengage if sufficient force is applied to either side of the oscillatoroutlet. The green START KNOB will pop up to indicate themechanism is disengaged. See the instructions above to engagethe drive mechanism.Oscillation speed: The chart shows how many times per minutethe oscillator makes one complete cycle as a function of flow. Thehigher the flow, the faster it oscillates.APPROXIMATECYCLES/MIN8132128GPM175250375500L/MIN650100015002000BLITZFIRE OSCILLATION SPEEDDISTANCE IN METERS61m53m45m38m30m22m15mDISTANCE IN FEET200’175’150’125’100’75’50’WIDTH OF COVERAGE150’ / 45m125’ / 38m100’ / 30m75’ / 23m50’ / 15m500 GPM / 1892 Lpm400 GPM / 1514 Lpm300 GPM / 1135 Lpm200 GPM / 757 Lpm100 GPM / 378 Lpm20 DEGREES30 DEGREES40 DEGREES0’FLOW @ 100 PSI / 7 BARCOVERAGE AREA OF BLITZFIRE OSCILLATING UNIT7.0 STORAGEThe monitor may be stored pre-connected to its hose on the optional storage bracket, TFT part number XX-B.
