Handler IV Operator's Manual page 9

YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Handler IV batch and induction
tank. Ensure that you and anyone else who is going to
operate, maintain, or work around the Handler IV batch
and induction tank be familiar with the operating and
maintenance procedures, and related SAFETY
information contained in this manual. This manual will
take you step-by-step through your working day and
alert you to all good safety practices while operating the
Handler.
Remember YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people around
you. Make these practices a working part of your safety
program. Be certain the EVERYONE operating this
machine is familiar with the procedures recommended and
follows safety precautions. Remember, most accidents
can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring
good safety practises.
Handler owners must give operating instructions to
operators or employees before allowing them to operate
the Handler. Continue doing this on a annual basis.
The most important safety device on this equipment is a
SAFE operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read
and understand ALL safety and operating instructions in the
manual and to follow them. All accidents can be avoided.
A person who has not read and understood all operating
and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the
machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and
bystanders to possible serious injuries or death.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification may impair the function and/or safety and
could affect the life of the equipment.
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
