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.
SAFETY RULES

•Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts to check for leaks. Hydraulic fluid (oil) under pressure will penetrate skin causing serious injury.
