EXPLOSION HAZARD

Damaged domes can lead to explosions that 

could result in serious injury or death. If the dome is damaged, it 

MUST be replaced.

Spare parts are listed in Table 2. Due to certification, certain component 

parts are not available for field replacement. Beacons with this type of 

damage must be either replaced entirely or returned to Federal Signal 

for service. To order accessories and replacement parts, call Federal 

Signal Customer Support at 708-534-4756 or 877-289-3246.
