WARNING AN INHERENT DANGER EXISTS WITH ALL
INFLATABLE PRODUCTS, ANY PRESSURIZED PIPELINE OR OTHER
PRESSURE CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS! Every pneumatic plug, like tires, will
eventually wear out and fail from continued use. Abuse and misuse will greatly
accelerate this failure. Always protect against the eventuality of plug failure to
prevent injury and property damage. If any conditions exist with equipment
that may jeopardize the safety of yourself or others or if you are unsure about
proper use, DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT. If you have any questions or
think any unusual conditions exist that are not described in this booklet, consult
your supervisor or safety director before proceeding. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OR THOSE OF OSHA AND YOUR
FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, MAY RESULT IN DEATH,
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!
