Safety considerations and
dangers associated with audible
travel alarms and flashing lights
include:
• Multiple alarms and/or lights
can cause confusion.
• Workers ignore the alarms
and/or lights after day-in and
day-out exposure.
• Operator may transfer the
responsibility for “looking out”
to the pedestrians.
• Annoys operators and
pedestrians.
Dimensions and performance
data given may vary due to
manufacturing tolerances.
Performance is based on an
average size vehicle and is
affected by weight, condition of
truck, how it is equipped and the
conditions of the operating area.
Crown products and specifica-
tions are subject to change
