WARNING
READ this instruction manual in its entirety prior to installing, maintaining, or
using the Unifire Force™ ROBOTIC NOZZLE (AKA ”Robotic nozzle” or “CAN-

iar with this equipment and general safety procedures may operate the Force robotic
nozzle.
The purpose of this Manual is to provide all users, installers, and maintenance person-
nel with the relevant information concerning the design, proper use, installation and
maintenance of the equipment and should be read and made available to all such per-
sons. This Manual will help prevent danger and injury to you and others. If you would

WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS EQUIPMENT IN ANY WAY.
Modification of the
equipment may result in damage to, or malfunction of, the equipment, which could lead
to serious injury of the operator and/or others. Internal inspection, maintenance and
repairs should only be performed by, or under the specific, express authority of Unifire
AB.
WARNING
NEVER POINT THE FORCE 50 OR ANY Robotic nozzle DIRECTLY AT HUMANS
WHILE WATER IS SPRAYING THROUGH IT,
as doing so can result in serious injury
or possibly death. The FORCE 50 is capable of directing flows of up to approximately
2000 liters per minute (540 gallons per minute) at pressures of up to 12 bars (175 psi)
and has a maximum throwing range of up to approximately 65 meters (70 yards). Such
forces are very dangerous and capable of producing serious injury or death to persons
and serious damage to property. They are also capable of throwing objects with ex-
treme force and velocity into other objects or persons. Accordingly, only professional,
trained firefighters or other qualified individuals may operate this equipment after being
thoroughly familiar with the Manual, and always by exercising extreme caution to avoid
hitting people or lose objects with the water (or other fluid) stream.
WARNING
BE SURE THAT THE ROBOTIC NOZZLE IS TIGHTLY AND PROPERLY SECURED
AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION!
Serious injury or death can occur if the robotic
nozzle is not fully and properly secured and supported. Be sure that the mounting pipe
for the FORCE 50 robotic nozzle is capable of withstanding a nozzle reaction force of at
least eight thousand (8,000) Newtons (800 kgf). The FORCE 50 robotic nozzle should
not be used on a portable stand of any kind, as such use can be extremely dangerous
and can result in Serious Injury or Death.
