Information is contained throughout this manual.
Important Safety Notices
Proper maintenance and service are important to the safe, reliable operation of all
CURBTENDER products. DO NOT service this equipment/machine until you have read and
understood this manual. Service procedures recommended by CURBTENDER are described in this
service manual and are effective for performing service operations. Some of these service
operations may require the use of tools or blocking devices specially designed for the purpose.
Special tools should be used when and as recom-mended. It is important to note that some warnings
against the use of specific methods that can dam-age the product or render it unsafe are stated in the
manual. It is also important to understand that these warnings are not exhaustive. CURBTENDER
could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which
service might be done or the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently,
CURBTENDER has not undertaken any such broad evaluations. Accordingly, anyone who uses
service procedures or tools which are not recommended by CURBTENDER must first satisfy himself
that neither his safety not the product safety will be jeopardized by the method he selects.
