Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to
provide safe equipment can be eliminated by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.
