read it in its entirety. This understanding should be completed and followed before installation or
operation of the HR-01 is attempted. Failure to follow installation and operation instructions may result in
property damage, bodily injury, or even death. The Factory strongly recommends that a certified
professional install the Harvester Model HR-01 to assure proper performance and validation of warranty.
