1. Attachment and Operation
a) Install the monitor by supporting the nozzle and holding the twist handle on the upper
monitor assembly. Align the inlet end of the monitor with the outlet of the 8298 2.0, 8299
2.0, or 8298EX 2.0.
b) Lower the monitor down onto deck mount outlet
and push down evenly so that the latch pins pass over
the swivel ring. (The monitor should now be resting
on top of the swivel ring.)
c) Confirm correct latch pin positions by checking
the visual indicators in the latch pin caps (Fig. 13).
d) With the left-right lock released, pull up on the
carrying handle firmly. The upper monitor assembly
should raise approximately 3/16” and at that point,
the latch pins should contact the bottom of the swivel
ring.
e) Aim the nozzle towards the target and engage the
left-right lock (Fig. 14).
f) Charge the monitor. Increase the pressure until the
desired flow is reached.
g) Release the left-right lock while holding monitor
stationary. Vertically position the nozzle stream with
the hand wheel and horizontally position the stream
by pushing or pulling on the return bend of the
monitor.

h) In order to lower the discharge below 35 degrees
(with the Deck Mount only) pull the ring attached to
the vertical safety stop plunger (Fig. 15), turn the
handwheel clockwise past the normal stop position
(35 degrees), and release the ring. As soon as the
nozzle elevation is raised above 35 degrees the
vertical safety stop will re-engage itself and need to
be over-ridden again to go below 35 degrees
elevation.

i) Engage the left-right lock to hold the monitor in position. Never leave the monitor
unattended while the left-right lock is disengaged.
Attention:
Use of the Stinger 2.0 ® with older style base designs is not recommended.
Left-right lock performance will be reduced. Also the use of older Stinger upper assemblies with
Stinger 2.0
® base adapters is not recommended. The older Stingers can damage the knurling on the
base adapter.
