•Safety is a primary concern in the design and man-
ufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts
to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a
single careless act of an operator or bystander.
• In addition to the design and conguration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, prudence and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of this equipment.
