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.
