Section I - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Presented in the interest of safety for all wrecker operators.
NOTICE
You are obligated to operate your
wrecker safely. You can be held
legally responsible for injuries or
damages resulting from unsafe
operating practices.
The manufacturer's recommendations
for operating this wrecker can help
you avoid unsafe practices and their
bad consequences. These
recommendations are contained
in this manual.
Century is not responsible for
the results of any unsafe practice of
wrecker operators. Furthermore, the
manufacturer is not responsible for
thefailure of the wrecker or its
accessories resulting from
improper maintenance.
The danger from an automobile does not cease when it is
disabled or wrecked. Recovering and towing automobiles can
be dangerous, too! The danger threatens wrecker operators
and everyone close at hand. As a wrecker operator you must
develop an awareness of the hazards involved. You must use
every safeguard within reason to prevent injuries.
For each step in operating your wrecker develop the habit of
asking yourself if it is safe to proceed. Carefully check all rigging
(especially snatch blocks) before starting a heavy lift or pull.
We cannot warn you of all the possible dangers you will
encounter. But we will tell you of the most common hazards we
know about. Learn them well.
