Safety precaution messages
Various levels of safety precaution messages may be found on
the equipment and in the service information. The different
levels of concern are identified by a flag word that precedes the
precautionary message. Known or potential hazards to
personnel are labeled in one of three ways:
• DANGER
• WARNING
• CAUTION
NOTE: Notes are used to provide important information about an item
or a procedure.
NOTE: Be sure to read the notes; the information contained in a note
can often save you time or effort.

cause severe personal injury or death if the instructions are
ignored.

cause severe personal injury and property damage if
instructions are ignored.
