IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Figure 1.1 - The need for safety cannot be stressed strongly enough in this
manual. At Highway Equipment Company, we urge you to make safety your
top priority when operating any equipment. We firmly advise that anyone
allowed to operate this machine carefully read, learn and understand all
messages and information in this manual and on machine’s safety decals
before operating machine, as well as familiarize themselves with the location

The following guidelines are intended to cover general usage and to assist you
in avoiding accidents. There will be times when you will run into situations
that are not covered in this section. At those times the best standard to use
is common sense. If, at any time, you have a question concerning these
