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 Z535.6-2006, 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.
WARNING
Injury or death may occur by attempting to use a damaged monitor. Before using the monitor
inspect it for damage resulting from:
• Failure to drain monitor followed by exposure to freezing conditions
• Exposure of monitor to temperatures in excess of 160 degrees F
• Structural damage caused by over-pressurization
• Missing parts, physical abuse, exposure to severe chemicals
• Deformed or cracked fl anges damaged as a result of improper installation
- Excessive bolt torque
- Wrong tightening sequence
WARNING
Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of
supporting 1100 lbs (500 kg) of nozzle reaction force.
WARNING
The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction before
water to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream.
WARNING
The monitor may be damaged if frozen while containing suffi
cient amounts of water. Such damage
may be diffi
cult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. Any time the monitor is
subject to possible damage from freezing, it must be hydrostatically tested by qualifi ed personnel
before being considered safe for use.
WARNING
Do not connect AC voltage to this remote control device. This RC device is intended for operation
from DC power supplies with voltages from 12-24 VDC. Using the wrong power source may cause
electrocution or ignition resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
The electric Typhoon RC may be remotely operated. The electric drives are current limited but
may still produce enough force to cause injury. Keep hands and fi ngers away from pinch points
on the monitor.
CAUTION
Do not use the manual override knobs while the electric controls are in operation. The electric
drives produce enough torque to cause injury.
CAUTION
Operating a monitor beyond it’s maximum limits may result in injury. Always stay within the safe
operating fl ow and pressure limits stated on the product.
CAUTION
On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Be sure there
is suffi
cient clearance to safely pass under any doors or overhead obstructions. Always check
parked position of the monitor before moving.
NOTICE
All replacement parts must be obtained from the manufacturer to assure proper operation of the
product, and to maintain approval of the device.
