The warning system in this manual identifies potential
hazards and has special safety messages that help you and
others avoid personal injury, even death. DANGER,

DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause
serious injury or death if the recommended precautions
are not followed.
WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious injury
or death if the recommended precautions are not followed.
CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or

standing in the normal operator’s position.
