Safety Instructions
The Pro Sweep is designed and tested to offer safe ser-
vice when operated and maintained properly. Although
hazard control and accident prevention partially are de-
pendent upon the design and configuration of the ma-
chine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern and proper training of the person-
nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of the machine. Improper use or mainte-
nance of the machine can result in injury or death. To re-
duce the potential for injury or death, comply with the
following safety instructions.
