Most accidents occur as the result of failure to
follow simple and fundamental safety rules. For this
reason, most accidents can be prevented by
recognizing the real cause and doing something
about it before the accident occurs.
Many
conditions
cannot
be
completely
safeguarded against without interfering with
efficient operation and/or reasonable accessibility.
Therefore, you must study this Operator’s Manual
4
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
and learn how to use the sprayer controls for safe
operation. Likewise, do not let anyone operate
without instruction.
Do
not
make
modifications
such
as
weldments, add-ons, adaptations, or changes from
the original design of sprayer. Such changes and/
or modifications may become safety hazards to
you and to others and will void all warranties.
