2.1 SAFETY ORIENTATION
You are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Mandako REDDI-LYNX. Ensure that
you and anyone else who will use, maintain or work
around the REDDI-LYNX be familiar with the Safety,
Operating and Maintenance procedures in this manual.
This manual will take you step-by-step through your
working day and alerts you to all good safety practices
that should be used while operating the REDDI-LYNX.
Remember, you are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people around
you. Make these practices a working part of your safety
program. Be certain that everyone using this equipment
follows all safety precautions, as well as the detailed
operating and maintenance procedures.
Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or
death by ignoring good safety practices:
• REDDI-LYNX owners must give operating instructions
to operators or employees before allowing them to
operate the machine, and review annually thereafter.
• The most important safety device on this equipment
is a SAFE operator. It is the operator’s responsibility
to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating
instructions in the manual and to follow them. Most
accidents can be avoided.
• A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to
use the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to the possibility of serious
injury or death.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the
equipment.
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
