A Few Words About Safety
Safety Information
Read and understand the entire manual before
operating or maintaining Stoelting equipment.
This Owner's Manual provides the operator with
information for the safe operation and maintenance of
Stoelting equipment. As with any machine, there are
hazards associated with their operation. For this
reason safety is emphasized throughout the manual.
To highlight specific safety information, the following
safety definitions are provided to assist the reader.
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your
attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and
their explanations, deserve your careful attention and
understanding. The safety warnings do not by them-

If you need to replace a part, use genuine Stoelting
parts with the correct part number or an equivalent
part. We strongly recommend that you do not use
