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
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.
DANGER
Working from an elevated position increases the risk of falling. Wet or slippery surfaces add to this
risk. Serious injury or death could occur. Watch footing when working on top of apparatus.
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
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
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
Service technicians bear responsibility for ensuring use of appropriate protective clothing and
equipment. The chosen protective clothing and equipment must provide protection from potential
hazards users may encounter while servicing equipment. Requirements for protective clothing and
equipment are determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
CAUTION
Damage may occur if the truck drives under a low hanging object while the Extend-A-Gun VP is
extended. Drain water from the piping and retract the Extend-A-Gun VP before moving the
apparatus.
CAUTION
The Extend-A-Gun VP may be remotely operated. The pneumatic lift and lowering may produce
enough force to cause injury. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points surrounding the
Extend-A-Gun, Monitor, Nozzle, and deck.
