An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or fl ow will cause an ineffective stream and can
result in injury, death or loss of property. The recommended fl ow and pressure for the Transformer
Nozzle System is 150 gpm at 100 psi. Call 800-348- 2686 for assistance.
Do not attempt to assemble, disassemble, or confi gure the Transformer Nozzle System with
a pressurized fi re hose attached. Safely depressurize and remove the fi re hose prior to any
assembly or disassembly of the Transformer Nozzle System.
Misaligned, loose, or damaged threads may cause the threaded joints to uncouple under pressure
resulting in injury. Nozzle joints must be properly connected. Ensure the threaded joints between
components are completely installed and hand tightened.
The piercing point has sharp edges that can cause injury by impalement. Use care when
handling and striking the Transformer Nozzle. Do not use the Transformer as a pry bar under any
circumstance. Avoid laying the tool down or storing in a position that presents an impalement
or fall hazard.
Striking the Transformer Nozzle System with a sledge or ax creates risk of injury from missed
blows. Always wear protective fi re gear, eye protection, and gloves. Avoid holding the Transformer
Nozzle System in areas likely to be struck by a missed blow. Avoid standing in the path of a
swinging tool head. Avoid striking the Transformer Nozzle System when fatigued beyond one's
ability to safely control a swing. Exercise sound judgement when operating on sloped, elevated,
or slippery surfaces.
The Transformer Nozzle System is designed only to hit on the striking head. Striking in any other
location is considered abuse and resulting damage is not covered under warranty.
ONLY HAND TIGHTEN THE TRANSFORMER Nozzle System THREADED JOINT. DO NOT USE A
WRENCH TO ASSEMBLE THE TRANSFORMER NOZZLE SYSTEM.
Use of the Transformer Nozzle System as a lever or a wedge may cause the unit to bend or
fracture. Such damage is considered abuse. The resulting damage is not covered under warranty.
Do not use the distributor nozzle to penetrate obstacles. Always create access points with
appropriate tools.
