1.0 MEANING OF 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
CAUTION
WARNING
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.

2.0 SAFETY
DANGER
Do not use AC current to operate the Ball Intake Valve RC or the Jumbo Ball Intake Valve RC. The
Ball Intake Valve RC and the Jumbo Ball Intake Valve RC are 12 or 24VDC systems ONLY! Using the
wrong power source could cause electrocution, resulting in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Kinks in supply hose may reduce water flow and cause injury or death to persons dependant on
water flow. When this valve is used on a hydrant or fire truck it is recommended that it be used with
an elbow to minimize risk of hoseline kinks.
WARNING
Injury or death can result from burst hoses and fittings. Be sure the pressure relief valve is set at
the proper pressure for the type of hose and equipment you are using. See NFPA 1961 and NFPA
1962.
WARNING
This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Its use for other purposes
may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. See appropriate guidance and training to
reduce risk of injury.
