SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper use of the ODB leaf collector CAN result in severe personal injury or
death. All personnel using this leaf vacuum must be trained and qualied with
all the operations, maintenance, repair and safety procedures dened in this
manual.
1.3 Training:
The warnings and procedures regarding safety in this manual are to be
used as a guideline only. It is impossible to cover all the events that
could happen in the vacuuming process. For this reason, it is vital that
the owner accept the responsibility to implement a training program that
will provide every operator or mechanic the basic skills and knowledge to
make good judgement in all situations.
This training program must include the entire scope of hazards, precau-
tions and government regulations encountered in the vacuuming process.
The program should stress the need for regularly scheduled preventive
maintenance and detailed equipment safety checks.
It is strongly recommended that all training programs be documented to
ensure all operators and mechanics receive initial training on not just the
operation but the safety features of the leaf collector.
