SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must
always comply with the safety precautions given in this
manual and on the stickers and tags attached to the
equipment.
These safety precautions are given for your safety.
Review them carefully before operating the tool and
before performing general maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel should develop additional
precautions relating to the specific work area and local
safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in
the space provided in this manual.
In addition to this manual, read and understand safety
and operating instructions in the Engine Operation
Manual furnished with the power unit.
The Hydraulic Power Unit will provide safe and
dependable service if operated in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual. Read and understand
this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the
Power Unit. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury or equipment damage.
