What might be a consequence of an improper lowest stream angle with a portable monitor?

An improper lowest stream angle when using a portable monitor can lead to potential equipment instability. This instability may arise because the water stream's angle affects how the force of the water interacts with the monitor itself. If the stream angle is too low, it can cause the monitor to tilt or be pushed backward, making it difficult to control. This instability not only jeopardizes the effectiveness of the firefighting efforts but can also create safety hazards for the operators and nearby personnel. Proper stream angles help maintain control, reduce the risk of accidents, and ensure that the monitor remains stable while delivering water effectively to suppress the fire.
