"DANGER !", "WARNING !", and "CAUTION !" are displayed in large
bold capital letters in the left hand column to call attention to areas of vital
concern. They represent different degrees of hazard seriousness, as stated
below. The safety precaution is spelled out in bold upper and lower case letters
in the right hand column.

death.

death.

injury, product or property damage.
Each section of this instruction manual, as well as any instructions supplied
by manufacturers of supporting equipment, should be read and understood
prior to starting the compressor. If there are any questions regarding any part
of the instructions, please call your local Quincy distributor, or the Quincy
Compressor factory before creating a potentially hazardous situation. Life,
limb, or equipment could be saved with a simple phone call.
