This Safety Section provides instructions that are essential to the safe operation of your aerial apparatus.
Watch for the safety alert symbol for times when you need to refer to instructions in this section. While
other sections of this manual may refer you to specific parts of this safety section, you must read,
understand, and follow all of the instructions in this safety section to keep you and others safe during
operation.
The safety signs depicted in this section are representative of those you may find on your apparatus.
Safety signs are a reminder to you of safety instructions that you will already have learned by studying this manual.
The absence of a sign on your apparatus does not mean the absence of a hazard.
