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.
2.0 SAFETY
DANGER
An inadequate supply of pressure and/or
fl
ow will cause an ine
ff
ective stream and can result
in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate
fi
re suppression. See
fl
ow
graphs
WARNING
This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for
fi
re
fi
ghting. 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
Equipment may be damaged if frozen while containing signi
fi
cant amounts of water. Such damage
may be di
ffi
cult 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 quali
fi
ed personnel before being considered safe for use.
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
fl
ammable vapor buildup.
WARNING
Application of water or foam solutions on energized electrical equipment could cause
electrocution. Serious injury or death could result. Assume circuits are energized until con
fi
rmed
to be de-energized. Do not apply water or foam to energized electrical equipment.
WARNING
The stream exiting a nozzle is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the nozzle is securely attached and pointing in a safe direction before water is turned
on. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.
WARNING
Damage or injury could result from operating the monitor beyond the safe operating envelope. Do
not operate the monitor outside the envelope in the following graph(s).
NOTICE
To prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment.
