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

TFT’s Radius monitor is a rugged, easy to install, deck mounted masterstream device. The above deck mounting is ideal for apparatus

where below deck extension tubes do not fit. The Radius monitor can be raised by pulling the quick release pin and lifting the monitor

until it is locked into position. This gives greater clearance over other equipment on the apparatus, greater freedom of movement, and

allows a more comfortable operating position. The Radius monitor can be specified new or retrofitted to existing apparatus.

Table 3.1

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

An inadequate supply of pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and can result

in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate fire suppression. See flow

graphs. 

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

Injury or damage can occur from an inadequately supported monitor. The mounting must be 

capable of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 1100 lbs.

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

On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Damage or injury

could occur if there is not sufficient clearance to safely pass under doors or overhead obstructions.

Always check parked position of the monitor before moving.
