GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of
equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every
year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more
careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the
following precautions in this section. To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist
those working with you, or for you, follow them.

Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety decal that is not readable or is missing.
Location of such decals is indicated in this booklet.

Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
