HURT if you don't follow instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don't follow

Each message tells you what the hazard is, what can happen, and
what you can do to avoid or reduce injury.
DAMAGE PREVENTION MESSAGES
You will also see other important messages that are preceded by
the word NOTICE.
This word means:
Your engine or other property can be damaged if you
