Safety Information
Safety Message Conventions
Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and
equipment damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal
word indicating the hazard level.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator or
to bystanders.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the operator
or to bystanders.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury to the operator
or to bystanders.
Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, may result in damage
to the test equipment or vehicle.
Safety messages contain three different type styles.
• Normal type states the hazard.
• Bold type states how to avoid the hazard.
• Italic type states the possible consequences of not avoiding the
hazard.
An icon, when present, gives a graphical description of the potential
hazard.
Example:
Risk of unexpected vehicle movement.
• Block drive wheels before performing a test with engine
running.
A moving vehicle can cause injury.
