SECTION IV

OPERATION

SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS OF

FEDERAL SIGNAL WARNING SYSTEMS

WARNING

The lives of people depend on your safe op-

eration of Federal products. It is important to

read and follow all instructions shipped with

the products. In addition, listed below are

some other important safety instructions and

precautions you should follow:

Qualiﬁcations

• To properly use a light system: you must have

a good understanding of general vehicle opera-

tion, a high proﬁciency in the use of safety

warning equipment, and thorough knowledge

of state and federal UNIFORM TRAFFIC

CODES.

Sound /Light Hazards

• Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or

close to your emergency vehicle, could be dam-

aged by loud sounds. This can occur from short

exposures to very loud sounds, or from longer

exposures to moderately loud sounds. For

hearing conservation guidance, refer to fed-

eral, state, or local recommendations. OSHA

Standard 1910.95 offers guidance on “Permis-

sible Noise Exposure.”

• All effective sirens and horns produce loud

sounds which may, in certain situations, cause

permanent hearing loss. You should minimize

your exposure times and wear suitable hearing

protection.

• This product contains high intensity LED de-

vices. To prevent permanent eye damage, DO

NOT stare into the light beam at close range.

Sound Limitations

• Maximum sound output will be severely re-

duced if any objects are in front of the speaker.

If your installation has obstructions in front of

the speaker, drive even more cautiously.

• Frequently inspect the speaker to ensure that

it is clear of any obstruction, such as mud or

snow, which will reduce maximum sound out-

put.

Signaling Limitations

• Be aware that the use of your visual and

audible signaling devices does not give you

the right to force your way through trafﬁc.

Your emergency lights, siren, and actions are

REQUESTING the right-of-way.

• Although your warning system is operating

properly, it may not alert everyone. People may

not hear, see, or heed your warning signal. You

must recognize this fact and continue driving

cautiously.

• Situations may occur which obstruct your

warning signal when natural or man-made

objects are between your vehicle and others,

such as when you raise your hood or trunk lid.

If these situations occur, be especially careful.

• The control head’s LED display simulates the

light pattern(s) being executed by the warn-

ing system. The display is intended ONLY as

a guide and NOT as an indication of proper

warning system operation. Before using the

warning system, its operation should be ob-

served from outside the vehicle.

Driving Limitations

• At the start of your shift, you should ensure

that the warning system is securely attached

to the vehicle and operating properly.

• If the unique combination of emergency

vehicle equipment installed in your vehicle

has resulted in the light/siren controls be-

ing installed in a position that does not allow

you to operate them by touch only, OPERATE

CONTROLS ONLY WHILE YOUR VEHICLE

IS STOPPED.

• If driving conditions require your full atten-

tion, you should avoid operating the light/siren

controls while the vehicle is in motion.

Continuing Education

• File these instructions in a safe place and

refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these

instructions to new recruits and trainees.

Failure to follow these safety precautions may

result in property damage, serious injury, or death to

you, to passengers, or to others.
