1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY 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 Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:
2.0 SAFETY
This portable decontamination system can be used in potentially dangerous situations. The following must be observed at all times:
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The PRO/pak Portable Foam System is a very versatile eductor-type foam application appliance. It can be used with 0.1%-1% Class A
foam concentrates for wildland, rural and urban fire suppression on Class A fuels (wood, paper, combustible materials). On Class A
materials the PRO/pak is intended to be used for direct extinguishment, overhaul, and wetting of fuels. Some foam concentrates are
corrosive, we recommend using only Class A concentrates that have received USDA and USFS approval.
On Class B materials, the PRO/pak is primarily intended to be used for vapor suppression. It can be used with 1% and 3% AFFF Class
B concentrates on flammable liquids that do not contain alcohol. It can be used with 3% and 6% Alcohol Resistant AFFF Class B
concentrates on flammable liquids containing polar solvents. It can also be used with 3% X 6% or 6% Class B foam concentrates.
Whenever possible, back up the PRO/pak with additional water/foam capabilities for added safety.
The Pro/pak can be used on ignited liquid fuels, but its foam application rate is very limited. Based on NFPA 11 this unit should not be
used on ignited Class B fuels with an area greater than 120 square feet (10 x 12 feet) or 11 square meters. The PRO/pak should not be
used on burning Polar Solvents with an area greater than 60 square feet (6 x 10 feet) or 5.5 square meters.
The PRO/pak is designed for Class A and Class B foam concentrates, but it has been used with other concentrates for other uses. If you
intend to use the PRO/pak for liquids other than Class A and Class B concentrates and water, we urge you to contact the Task Force
Tips Engineering Department. The use of other liquids may void the warranty and subject the user to hazards not addressed in this
manual. The user assumes all risks for non-intended uses.
