standards and specifications. Although hazard control and accident prevention
are partially dependent upon the design and configuration of the machine,

concern and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper use or maintenance of the
machine can result in injury or death.

instructions in this manual, as well as information found in the
Operator's Manuals and the Operator and Safety Training Videos
