2.2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Safety of the operator and bystanders is one
of the main concerns in designing and de-
veloping a machine. However, every year
many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds of thought and a
more careful approach to handling equipment.
You, the operator, can avoid many accidents
by observing the following precautions in this
section. To avoid personal injury or death,
study the following precautions and insist
those working with you, or for you, follow
them.
2. In order to provide a better view, certain
photographs or illustrations in this manual
may show an assembly with a safety shield
removed. However, equipment should never
be used in this condition. Keep all shields in
place. If shield removal becomes necessary
for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
3. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign
that is not readable or is missing. Location of
such safety signs is indicated in this manual.
4. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which
can hinder alertness or coordination while us-
ing this equipment. Consult your doctor about
using this machine while taking prescription
medications.
5. Under no circumstances should young
children be allowed to work with this
equipment. Do not allow persons to use or
assemble this unit until they have read this
manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions
and of how it works. Review the safety
instructions with all users annually.
6. This equipment is dangerous to children and
persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible, properly
trained and physically able person familiar
with refueling machinery and trained in this
equipment's operations. If the elderly are
assisting with work, their physical limitations
need to be recognized and accommodated.
7. Keep all flames, sparks or smoking material
away from TransCube and working area. Do
not smoke around unit.
8. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machin-
ery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON'T TRY IT.
9. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-
authorized modification may result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function
and life of the equipment.
10. In addition to the design and configuration of
this implement, including Safety Signs and
Safety Equipment, hazard control and ac-
cident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of the
machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and
operation instruction in each of the appropri-
ate sections of the machine Manuals. Pay
close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to
the equipment.
11. It is a serious offence to contaminate the
ground or any water supply with spilt fuel.
Care must be taken when filling TransCube
or refueling equipment from the TransCube.
Stay and monitor fuel transfers to prevent
overfilling or spilling fuel on the ground or in
the interstice.

2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
1. 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 or bystander.
2. In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The
best safety feature is an
informed, careful opera-
tor." We ask you to be that
kind of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read and under-
stand ALL Safety and Using instructions in the
manual and to follow these. Accidents can be
avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual before
assembly or using, to acquaint yourself with
the machine. If this machine is used by any
person other than yourself, or is loaned or
rented, it is the machine owner's responsibil-
ity to make certain that the operator, prior to
using:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop unit
quickly in an emergency. Read this manual
and the one provided with your equipment.
6. Train all new personnel and review instruc-
tions frequently with existing workers. Be
certain only a properly trained and physically
able person will use the machinery. A person
who has not read and understood all using
and safety instructions is not qualified to use
the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to possible serious in-
jury or death. If the elderly are assisting with
the work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
