4. Remove the upper monitor and nozzle assembly from the deck mount and attach it to the
portable base. Attach the upper monitor assembly to the portable base using the same
technique used to attach it to the deck mount adapter (see section IV.A.1).
5. Confirm the correct latch pin positions by checking visual indicator cut outs in latch pin
caps (see figure 3).
6. Aim the monitor nozzle towards the intended target and engage the left-right lock. The
monitor discharge should not be turned more than 45 degrees to either side of the front
center leg.
7. Charge the hose lines slowly to prevent water hammer.
8. Operate the monitor as described in section IV.A.1, deck gun operation, with the exception
of paragraph G. (See Warning below)
Warning:
Never lower the discharge elbow below the angle allowed by the vertical safety stop when using the
Stinger 2.0
® in portable mode. If the discharge is lowered below the safety stop, the nozzle reaction
force will cause the monitor and hose lines to slide. If the discharge is lowered below horizontal, the
nozzle reaction force will cause the monitor and hose lines to become airborne. Serious injury or death
could occur if these warnings are not followed.
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.
D. 8298EX 2.0
To place the 8298EX 2.0 into operation, first remove the Stinger 2.0 ®
monitor from the 8298 2.0 deck
mount, and set it aside. Align the inlet end of the 8298EX 2.0 with the 8298 2.0 adapter and push the
8298EX 2.0 down, being careful to align the slots in the 8298EX 2.0 with anti-rotation pins on the 8298
2.0 adapter. Push the 8298EX 2.0 down until the anti-rotation pins are fully engaged in the slots. You
should hear the spring loaded latch pins snap into position as the 8298EX 2.0 is installed. Pull up on
the 8298EX 2.0 to verify that the pins are properly engaged.
To install the Stinger 2.0 ® monitor on the discharge end of the 8298EX 2.0, use the same technique
used to install the upper on the deck mount adapter. (See Section IV.A.1).
Warning:
Do not attempt to use the 8298EX 2.0 on a portable ground base. Serious injury or death could occur.
