WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust
can be fatal. Make sure exhaust is routed away
from air intake flanges and that the truck body is
well ventilated.
WARNING
Recommended hose size, type, and length must be
used to achieve maximum results. CertainTeed
Machine Works cannot guarantee performance of
the Volu-Matic 500 machine if hoses are undersized,
worn, damaged, or hoses other than those we
recommend are used.
NOTE
Keep in mind that a weak truck battery may not be
powerful enough to run the machine. Keep the truck
battery and charging system in very good shape.
NOTE
A kit of decals for PTO installation is included
with new delivered machines. These decals should
be displayed on the truck as indicated by the
instructions provided with them.
