Check safety and protective devices for proper function.
Danger of fatal or severe injury due to improper use of the braking
system!
Repeated braking, cadence braking, a leak in the compressed air system,
or the use of the parking brake while driving, reduces the operating
pressure; this in turn could result in locking of wheels and can cause severe
accidents.
Ensure correct compressed air system and braking system operations.
Do not start driving if the compressed air pressure in the braking
system is too low.
If the warning lights of the brakes or the compressed air system comes
on, stop the vehicle immediately and do not start up it again.

Never use the parking brake as a driving brake while driving.
Report malfunctions to your work shop personnel as quickly as
possible and make sure that the repair is performed.
Danger of shearing in the area of the extinguishing equipment!
Body parts can be cut off.
Do not linger in the danger zone.
Injury to persons and damage to property due to vehicle components
not being in transport position.
Vehicle components that are not in transport position can impair the
vehicle’s maneuverability and cause serious accidents.
If the pilot lamp lights illuminate while driving, stop the vehicle
immediately and identify the cause before driving on.
Personal injuries and damage to property can occur due to a
restricted view of movable machine parts.
Do not linger in the danger zone.

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.
Perform all steering movements carefully when traveling at high
speeds.
When driving on dirt tracks or off-road, drive slowly and extremely
cautiously.
Avoid driving over obstacles at high speed.
If the vehicle threatens to tip on a slope, steer in downhill direction
immediately to improve the vehicle’s stability.
Danger of fatal or serious injury!
Breathing apparatus fixtures and harnesses in the cabin do not replace the
standard installed safety seat belts.
While driving the vehicle, the breathing apparatus must be in storage.
Only when vehicle is stationary, open the breathing apparatus fixture
and remove the breathing apparatus.
During yearly inspection of the vehicle and especially after each use,
check breathing apparatus fixtures for proper function.
Always use your seat belts.
Danger of crushing by loads suspended on booms or swiveling
devices.
Do not linger under suspended loads.
Danger of crushing and sheering of limbs due to moving or rotating
parts!
Do not reach into or grasp moving or rotating parts.
Observe a safety distance to the danger zone.
Use protective equipment.
Danger of explosion due to flammable fuel!
During work on the fuel system, fuel can ignite and cause potentially fatal
injuries.
Do not smoke.
Keep fuel away from open flame.
When handling fuel, always keep a fire extinguisher at hand.

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.
Follow safety instructions on the outside of the battery.
Do not smoke.
Avoid fire, open flame and sparks.
Avoid sparks when handling cables and electrical devices, and through
electrostatic discharge.
Do not connect the minus pole of the battery jumper cable near to the
discharged battery (generates sparks).
Always remove negative battery ground cables first and install them
last to avoid sparks.
The vehicles must not touch (sparks will occur on connecting the
positive poles).
Never short-circuit the battery.
Ventilate batteries thoroughly before any external start.
When connecting the connecting lead, do not bend over the battery.
Avoid skin and eye contact with any battery acid that escapes.
Keep unauthorized persons clear of the battery.
Ensure that the battery voltage matches.
Never disconnect the batteries while the engine is running.
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.
Before uncoupling a hose, relieve the pressure.
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.
