3.1  Safety Alert Symbol

This safety alert symbol means: 

ATTENTION! BE ALERT! 
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

The safety alert symbol identifies important safety messages 
on the Bush Hog Manure Spreader and in the manual. 

When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of 
personal injury or death. Follow the instructions in the safety 
message.

3.2  Signal Words

The signal words 

DANGER

WARNING,

 and 

CAUTION

 determine 

the seriousness level of the warning messages in this manual. 
The appropriate signal word for each message in this manual 
has been selected using the following guidelines:

DANGER –

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, 

will

 result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be 

limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine 
components which, for functional purposes, cannot be shielded.

WARNING –

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, 

could

 result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that 

are exposed when shields are removed. It may also be used to 
alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION –

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, 

may

 result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to 

alert against unsafe practices.

IMPORTANT

 – To avoid confusing equipment protection 

with personal safety messages, the signal word IMPORTANT 
indicates a situation that if not avoided, could result in damage 
to the machine.

3.3  Why is SAFETY important?
