Diagram for USCG Deck Safety: As seen in illustration D004SA below, what action must be taken before...
A remove the high-velocity nozzle tip
B move the handle to position 1
C move the handle to position 2
D install the high-velocity nozzle tip
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) remove the high-velocity nozzle tip. To insert a low-velocity fog applicator into an all-purpose nozzle, the high-velocity nozzle tip must first be removed. This is because the low-velocity fog applicator is designed to be used with a lower-pressure, wider spray pattern compared to the high-velocity nozzle tip. Attempting to insert the low-velocity applicator without first removing the high-velocity nozzle tip could damage the equipment or create an improper spray pattern. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because they do not address the necessary step of removing the high-velocity nozzle tip before inserting the low-velocity fog applicator.
