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:
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.
2.0 SAFETY
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
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
The Extend-A-Gun may be used only in either the fully raised or fully lowered position. The unit
may become damaged if the water is turned on in any position other than fully extended or
retracted.
CAUTION
Damage may occur if the truck drives under a low hanging object while the Extend-A-Gun RC
is extended. Shutting off the water downstream of an Extend-A-Gun in the raised position traps
water preventing retraction. Drain water from the piping and retract the Extend-A-Gun RC before
moving the apparatus.
Pressurizing a retracted waterway with closed shutoffs or caps on the monitor discharge disables
waterway extension. Relieving pressure trapped in the waterway will restore the lift function.
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Extend-A-Gun is a telescoping waterway designed to maximize firefighter safety while expanding the capabilities of deck
mounted Master Stream devices. Its function is to elevate a mounted Master Stream device above other equipment on the apparatus,
providing greater clearance and freedom of movement to the device. Operators control elevation both to and from the storage
position by manually lifting and lowering the monitor. The Extend-A-Gun features a hard coat anodized aluminum finish and built in
sensor for connection to “monitor raised” light. The Extend-A-Gun features a 3” diameter waterway.
