Introduction

We want you to be completely satisfied with your new
product, so feel free to contact your local Authorized
Service Dealer for help with service, genuine replacement
parts, or other information you may require.

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,
WARNING and CAUTION are signal words used to
identify the level of hazard. However, regardless of the
hazard, be extremely careful.

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
moderate injury if the recommended precautions are not
followed.

Two other words are also used to highlight information.
“Important” calls attention to special mechanical
information and “Note” emphasizes general information
worthy of special attention.

The left and right side of the machine is determined by
standing in the normal operator’s position.

Safety

Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can
result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply

operator’s manual. Always pay attention to the safety alert

comply with the instruction may result in personal injury
or death.
