Firefighting monitor portable Ozzie 911 (refurbished)

Visit firefighting monitor portable akron Brass Ozzie 911 swing is a model renowned for its robustness, stability and ability to provide automatic hydraulic coverage in the field. Designed by Akron Brass as a monitor (oscillating water monitor portable, it has been developed for fire-fighting applications requiring regular operation, with deployment planned for a maximum of three years automatic use with no need for a dedicated operator at all times.

The model Ozzie 911 is still appreciated for its specific architecture: ground base with anchor points, oscillating sweep, right/left stroke adjustment, possibility of stopping in a fixed position and easy manual transport. This positioning makes it a monitor portable particularly interesting for professionals looking for reliable equipment for protection, of cooling or coverage of an exposed area.

Summary table of features

Why the monitor Ozzie 911 remains a benchmark

Visit monitor portable Akron Brass Ozzie 911 has established itself as a landmark model in the world of firefighting monitors portable thanks to its field-oriented design. Its oscillating principle enables it to automatically sweep an area, meeting specific needs for exposure protection or maintaining continuous hydraulic action over a given surface.

• Automatic oscillating operation to cover an area without keeping an operator permanently on site monitor
• Can be used in a fixed position if you wish to stop oscillation at a given point
• Ground stability thanks to four anchoring points
• Manual transport made easy by the carrying handle
• Setting the scan range according to intervention needs

This design gives it real versatility for professional users looking for a firefighting monitor portable capable of ensuring both rapid implementation and consistent operation in demanding contexts.

A monitor portable designed for automatic operation

One of the major assets of Ozzie 911 is its automatic operation. Once correctly installed, powered and adjusted, it can work in oscillating mode to ensure even sweeping of the area to be protected. Adjustable left and right strokes enable hydraulic coverage to be adapted to site configuration or attack strategy.

Visit monitor can also be used as a monitor non-swinging by stopping the oscillation at the desired position. This feature provides interesting flexibility for moving from a scanning logic to a more targeted action logic.

Applications and operational interests

Visit firefighting monitor portable ozzie 911 swing is designed for applications where regular coverage and ground stability are required. Its operating principle makes it particularly relevant in professional configurations where it is necessary to protect, cool or support a hydraulic action over a given area.

• Protection of an exposed area
• Cooling of equipment or structures
• Automatic hydraulic coverage of a sector
• Maintaining regular operations without a permanently assigned operator monitor
• Use by personnel trained in fire fighting

It should be remembered, however, that due to its rigorous design, this equipment is intended for use in firefighting by firefighters or trained personnel.

Implementation in the field

Correct installation of the Ozzie 911 directly conditions the safety and efficiency of its use. Visit monitor must be placed on the ground with the outlet pointing in the desired direction, ensuring that the four tips are in good contact with the ground. The pipe must then be installed with a minimum loop of 3 m in front of the front feet, then held in place by the straps provided.

• positioning on the ground in the desired direction ;
• effective contact of the four tips with the ground ;
• minimum 3 m front hose loop ;
• gradual pressurization ;
• respect the danger zone facing the exit.

Additional safety precautions: do not use the monitor on a hard, smooth surface, do not exceed equipment ratings, do not install shut-off devices at the outlet, and keep personnel out of the danger zone in front of the outlet when water is connected.

Maintenance and upkeep

Like all fire equipment designed for demanding use, the monitor portable Akron Brass Ozzie 911 requires consistent maintenance. Periodic lubrication is essential, as is checking the condition of ground spikes and safety straps.

• Every 3 months lubricate piston rod if necessary, check condition of anchor points and check safety straps
• Every 6 months lubrication of the threaded part of the elevation brake knob
• After use drainage of residual water to limit the risk of corrosion and freezing

If you encounter the slightest problem (breakage or wear requiring the replacement of a part), please contact us! We have a stock of spare parts still available for this model, as well as a maintenance and service kit (ref. MMF: 31053).

Use after foam, salt water or dirty water

Visit Ozzie 911 has been designed for use in the field, but like all hydraulic equipment, it requires a few precautions after use in adverse conditions. When the monitor has been used with foam, salt water, brackish water or dirty water, it is necessary to operate it at clear water for at least five minutes after shutdown to limit fouling, deposits and corrosion.

The Ozzie 911 today: a model with high technical value

Although this monitor is no longer manufactured, the firefighting monitor portable Akron Brass Ozzie 911 maintains a solid reputation among many professionals. Its design, stability and oscillating operating principle explain why it remains today a model apart in the history of the monitors portable Akron Brass.

At MMF, this observation has led us to pay particular attention to this model and to engage in a real work of workshop overhaul to extend the operational life of equipment still in demand. We detail this approach in our dedicated expert article, with the history of the model, its technical specifications and the various stages of reconditioning carried out in our workshop.
