If the safety shut off valve on the Blitzfire monitor has activated, what is the correct procedure?

When the safety shut-off valve on the Blitzfire monitor activates, the correct procedure is to fully close and then reopen the bale. This action is crucial because the shut-off valve is designed to prevent flow in situations where there is a malfunction or an unsafe condition. Closing the bale ensures that the system is reset and any pressure that may have built up is relieved, allowing you to safely inspect and restart operations. Reopening the bale thereafter allows the flow of water to resume, ensuring that the monitor functions effectively again.

Other procedures might seem sensible, but they do not properly address the need to reset the system correctly or ensure safety. Simply turning the valve off and leaving it does not reset the system, while opening the bale without closing it first may create a risk of leaking or inadequate pressure to operate the monitor correctly. Waiting for an automatic reset could lead to unnecessary delays and may not guarantee proper functionality when it is needed. Properly managing the shut-off valve is essential for maintaining safety and operational readiness.
