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 standard Z535.4-1998, the definitions of the three signal words are as follows:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION

2.0 SAFETY

The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.
WARNING
WARNING

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Tornado monitor is a 2-inch, 500 gpm maximum monitor. It is available in a manually operated model as well as an electric remote
controlled model. The electric remote controlled model is known as the Tornado RC. Further specifications are shown in the following
sections.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of
supporting 400 lbs (180 kg) of nozzle reaction force.
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.
The electric Tornado RC may be remotely operated. The electric drives are current limited but may
still produce enough force to cause injury. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points on the
monitor.
Do not use the manual override knobs while the electric controls are in operation. The electric
drives produce enough torque to cause injury.
Maximum flow and pressure is 500 gpm (1900 l/min) and 200 psi (14 bar). Damage or injury may
result if the monitor is operated beyond these limits.
On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Be sure there is
sufficient clearance to safely pass under any doors or overhead obstructions. Always check
stowed position of the monitor before moving.
