PRODUCT WARNINGS

WARNING: Aim the Severe Duty Water Cannon in a safe direction before pumping water through it.
WARNING: If any tags or bands are worn or damaged and cannot be easily read, they should be replaced.
WARNING: Disconnect power and disable flow before maintenance.
WARNING: Keep all personnel out from the front of the outlet of the monitor when the water source is
attached. Dangerous flow velocities can cause serious injury.
WARNING: The Severe Duty Water Cannon contains moving parts. Keep hand, finger and objects away from
pinch points. WARNING
WARNING: Not designed for explosive environments.
WARNING: Exceeding the maximum pressure and flow of the monitor or nozzle may cause damage.

WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER

We warrant Akron Brass products for a period of one (1) year after purchase against defects in materials or workmanship. Akron Brass
will repair or replace product which fails to satisfy this warranty. Repair or replacement shall be at the discretion of Akron Brass.
Products must be promptly returned to Akron Brass for warranty service. We will not be responsible for: wear and tear, any improper
installation, use, maintenance or storage: negligence of the owner or user; repair or modification after delivery; failure to follow our
instructions or recommendations; or anything else beyond our control. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OTHER
THAN THOSE INCLUDED IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, AND WE DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Further, we will not be responsible for any consequential, incidental or indirect
damages (including, but not limited to, any loss of profits) from any cause whatsoever. No person has authority to change
this warranty.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• For use with water or standard fire fighting foams only. After use with foam, flush with fresh water.
• Drain the Severe Duty Water Cannon and nozzle after use to prevent “freeze damage” in cold weather.
• Ensure that the thread in the nozzle swivel matches the thread on the Severe Duty outlet.
Do not overtighten the nozzle onto the Severe Duty Water Cannon.
• Do not install shutoffs on the outlet of the Severe Duty.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Your Severe Duty Water Cannon and nozzle should be inspected prior to and after each use, to ensure it is in
good operating condition. The Water Cannon joints were greased and sealed at assembly, there is no greasing to
be done while in use.

SITUATIONS THAT MAY CAUSE IRRERPAIRABLE DAMAGE
• Operating above maximum rated pressure and flow.
• Not draining, and allowing water to freeze inside.
• Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 130°F (54°C), or below -25°F (-32°C).
• Having the nozzle hit a fixed object during operating or transportation.
Also there are many “tell tale” signs that indicate repair is in order, such as:
• Controls that are either inoperable or difficult to operate.
• Excessive wear.
• Poor discharge performance.
• Water leaks.
If any of the above situations are encountered, the Severe Duty should be taken out of service, repaired, and
tested by a qualified technician before placing it back in service
