SAFETY
SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts
to
provide safe equipment can be erased by
a single careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention
are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
prudence and proper training of personnel involved
in the operation, transport, maintenance and
storage
of
equipment.
The best safety device is an informed, careful
operator. We ask you to be that kind of an operator.
The designed and tested safety of this equipment
depends on
it
being operated within the limitations
as explained in this manual.
