WARNING
Communications
Bad communications can cause accidents. If two or
more people are working on the machine, make sure
each is aware of what the others are doing. Before
starting the engine make sure the others are clear of
the danger areas; examples of danger areas are: the
rotating blades and belt on the engine, the
attachments and linkages, and anywhere beneath or
behind the machine. People can be killed or injured if
these precautions are not taken.
