result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

WARNING

The three-part message panel, used with safety messages, uses three different type styles
to further define the potential hazard:

• Normal type states the hazard,

Bold type states how to avoid the hazard, and warning.

Italic type states the possible consequences of not avoiding the hazard.

Some safety messages contain visual symbols with signal words.

Example:
