ing includes guidelines, procedures, and other information beyond the scope of
these instructions.

limited to, the weight of the individual user, the physical condition of the individual
user, and the environmental conditions such as rain or snow. The equipment was
designed to provide reliable performance under most conditions, but extenuating
circumstances may require additional care or effort on the part of the user.
5. Performance of the equipment is also dependent on regular and thorough in-
spection of the equipment. This inspection includes REGULAR OPERATIONAL
