AG System Five Operator’s Manual

A-2

NOTICE

When operating in rainy weather or in wet
conditions, the Control Box and cables must be
thoroughly dried BEFORE placing them in the
Carrying Case at the end of the day.

NOTICE

Also keep the Carrying Case dry at all times. DO
NOT allow moisture to get inside the case.
Moisture trapped in the case can adversely
affect components.

CAUTION

DO NOT stare into the laser beam or view the
beam directly with optical equipment.

WARNING

Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance,
or repair of this product can be dangerous
and could result in injury or death.

WARNING

Relieve all pressure in the hydraulic lines
before disconnecting or removing any lines,
fittings or related components. If injury does
occur, seek medical assistance immediately.
