1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:
2.0 SAFETY
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The SHO-FLOW is a water-powered fire ground flow meter that measures the flow rate in a hose line and transmits flow data using a
Bluetooth wireless connection. Data is received by a paired device and displayed using a smart phone app. The SHO-FLOW does not
have a display. Flow meter power is generated whenever flow causes its turbine to rotate. Data is automatically transmitted whenever
flow is present, and stops when flow stops. An arrow indicates the direction of flow.
The SHO-FLOW is intended for intermittent use with clean fire water or solutions of water and foam concentrate. It is not intended for
use with pure foam concentrate, compressed air foam, hydrocarbons, or other types of liquid. Turbine bearings are subject to wear. The
SHO-FLOW is not intended for continuous outdoor storage, use with heated fluids, in permanently piped installations, 24/7 wet
conditions, or in extended service conditions (non-fire ground).

DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.
WARNING
Equipment may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of water. Such damage
may be difficult to detect visually. Subsequent pressurization can lead to injury or death. Any time
the equipment is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be tested and approved for
use by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use.
WARNING
This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Use of this equipment for
other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and
training to reduce risk of injury.
WARNING
This device is not rated as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe. Use only in locations
with adequate ventilation and no hazard of flammable vapor buildup.
