Safety Instructions

The Sand Pro and Infield Pro are designed and tested
to offer safe service when operated and maintained
properly. Although hazard control and accident preven-
tion are partially dependent upon the design and config-
uration of the machine, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation, trans-
port, maintenance and storage of the machine. Improp-
er use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury
