Your safety, and the safety of others,
is very important. And operating this
vehicle safely is an important
responsibility.
To help you make informed
decisions about safety, we have
provided operating procedures and
other information on labels and in
this manual. This information alerts
you to potential hazards that could

use your own good judgement.

HURT if you don't follow instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don't follow
