SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately,
our efforts to provide safe equipment can be
wiped out by a single careless act of an
operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the aware-
ness, concern, prudence and proper training
of personnel involved in the operation, trans-
port, maintenance and storage of equipment.
It has been said 'The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.' We ask you to be
that kind of an operator.
