1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identifi ed by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.4-2007, the defi nitions 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, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
2.0 SAFETY
The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.
DANGER
When operating the Extend-A-Gun you may be in a precarious position. Watch your footing on top
of the truck. It can become very slippery. It is possible to fall off the truck onto the pavement.
WARNING
The Extend-A-Gun may be used in either the raised or the lowered position, but not in-between.
Make sure that the slide bar is down and both pawls are fl ush with the housing before use. If the
word “UNLOCKED” is visible, the Extend-A-Gun is unlocked and may rise suddenly if it is in the
lowered position and the water is turned on or fall suddenly if it is in the raised position and the
water is turned off. When the pawls are fl ush with the housing, and the water is turned on, the
pawls are locked in position and prevent the latch mechanism from operating.
WARNING
Do not plug or cap the Extend-A-Gun or mounted deck gun while it is in the raised position. This
will prevent the Extend-A-Gun from being lowered all the way and the latch pawls will not lock.
WARNING
For safe dependable service, the Extend-A-Gun must be securely mounted.
WARNING
The forces acting on the mounting brackets, when the Extend-A-Gun is in the extended position,
are higher than the forces in a normal deck gun installation.
WARNING
Keep the upper and lower brackets as far apart as possible to minimize the amount of stress on
the upper and lower brackets.
WARNING
Master stream fl ows are very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage. Make
sure the monitor is pointing in a safe direction before water to the monitor is turned on. Use care
in directing the stream.
CAUTION
Do not lift the slide bar when water is fl owing, the mechanism will not unlatch, but the mechanism
can be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not lift the slide bar to lower the deck gun without supporting the weight of the deck gun. It
can fall and cause injury.
