Owner And Operator And Safety Information; Definitions Of Safety Terms And Symbols, Accident Prevention - HLA BR72 Operator's Manual

Throughout this manual, the terms DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are used to indicate the degree of hazard
to personnel if proper safety procedures are not followed. These words will be used in conjunction with the Safety
Alert Symbol: a dark triangle containing a white exclamation mark.
The Safety Alert Symbol means:
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
May also be used to alert against unsafe practices, which may result in damage to property.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace any safety codes, insurance needs, federal, state and
local laws.
The best safety device is a careful operator. HLA and
your dealer ask that YOU be that careful, responsible
equipment operator.
Pay attention to the job at hand. Do not let your mind
lose concentration on what you are doing. No
accident prevention program can be successful
without the wholehearted cooperation of the person
who is directly responsible for the operation of the
equipment.
If accidents are to be prevented (and accidents can
be prevented), that prevention will come from
equipment operators who accept their complete
responsibility and anticipate the results of their
actions.
The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety
engineer all help create a safe product, but their
combined efforts can be wiped out with a single
careless act by the operator of that product.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
