Safety Warning notes Danger of fatal or severe injury due to rolling over of the vehicle. Almost all fire fighting vehicles have systematical high points of gravity; additionally, they are typically loaded to a point just below their permissible total weight. Incorrect driving (even in emergency response situations) can lead to rolling over of the vehicle.

Safety Warning notes Danger of serious injury and damage due to explosion, fire and chemical burns! When charging vehicle batteries, a highly explosive electrolytic gas mixture (hydrogen and oxygen) is released; it is easily flammable and may release highly acidic battery acid. Wear safety goggles whenever servicing a battery.

Safety Warning notes Danger of crushing! Danger of crushing due to pneumatic cylinders and drives. Do not grasp moving parts. Do not reach into the danger zone. - 26 -...
Page 27
Safety Warning notes NOTICE Damage due to cavitation! The pump capacity is reduced with increasing suction height. When operating with great suction heights, high pump speeds and very high discharge rates, the pump may cavitate. Cavitation causes extreme pressure and temperature peaks which can destroy the pump. Cavitation may sound like marbles are being pumped through the system.
Page 28
Safety Warning notes Damage to electronic assemblies due to actuating the battery main switch! The battery is an important part of the vehicle’s electrical circuit even when the engine is running. If the vehicle power supply is interrupted at the battery main switch while the engine is running, power peaks can occur, this can destroy the electronic equipment of the chassis and superstructure.
