SAFETY ALERTS
PREGIS AIRSPEED 5000
AIR CUSHION MACHINE
Operator safety and the safety of others in the work
area depends on the operator using common sense,
good judgment and reasonable care while operat-
ing the machine. The Safety, Operation and
Maintenance manual, and warning labels affixed to
the machine, provide notification of specific poten-
tial hazards.
Safety signs are used to alert operating and mainte-
nance personnel to potential hazards. The machine
manual also calls attention to potential hazards
with statements describing the hazard. Both the
safety signs on the machine and the warnings in the
manual use signal words to identify the seriousness
of the potential hazard. These signal words are
Danger, Warning and Caution.
The meanings of the signal words and the level of
potential hazards they represent must be clearly
understood before attempting to operate or main-
tain the machine. If, at any time, a safety sign on
the machine becomes lost, damaged or illegible,
contact Pregis to order replacement signs at no
charge.
