Do not operate the unit in explosive areas.
Danger of shearing in the area of the extinguishing equipment!
Body parts can be cut off.

Serious injury to persons and damage due to water hammer effect!
If water delivery via a pipe or hose is interrupted abruptly, a pressure impact
known as the water hammer effect occurs; this is noticeable as a harsh
noise (like a hammer hitting a pipe). This water hammer can cause severe
injury when handling fire-fighting equipment, as well as damage to lines,
hoses, pumps, valves or other pieces of equipment.
Perform adjustments of nozzles, hydrants, valves etc. slowly.
Before opening a discharge outlet, keep a tight hold on the tips and
nozzles.
May sure that pressure is released before disconnecting any hose.
In case of danger for persons (e.g. due to a burst hose) immediately
reduce the pump speed or close the affected discharge outlet. Switch
off the pump system if needed.
Danger of crushing and sheering of limbs due to moving or rotating
parts!
Do not reach into or grasp moving or rotating parts.
