TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.
This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Their use for
other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate
guidance and training to reduce risk of injury.
Nozzle reaction will vary as supply conditions change: such as opening or closing other
nozzles, hose line kinks, changes in pump settings, etc. Changes in spray pattern or
flushing will also affect nozzle reaction. The nozzle operator must always be prepared in
the event of those changes. Failure to restrain nozzle reaction can cause firefighter injury
from loss of footing and/or stream protection.
If nozzle gets out of control or away from operator, retreat from nozzle immediately. Do
not attempt to regain control of nozzle while flowing water. Injury from whipping can
occur.
