WARN INDUSTRIES • THE BASIC GUIDE TO WINCHING TECHNIQUES

As you read these instructions, you will see
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTICES and NOTES.  Each
message has a specific purpose.  WARNINGS are
safety messages that indicate a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided could result in serious
injury or death.  CAUTIONS are safety messages that
indicate a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.  A
CAUTION may also be used to alert against unsafe
practice.  CAUTIONS and WARNINGS identify the
hazard, indicate how to avoid hazard, and advise of the
probable consequence of not avoiding the hazard.
NOTICES are messages to avoid property damage.
NOTES are additional information to help you complete
a procedure.  

PLEASE WORK SAFELY!
