Using This Manual
Equipment Damage
The possibility of damage to vehicle or equipment is introduced by
a signal word indicating this condition.
Example:
After extended testing, operate the engine at 1500 RPM
with no load for several minutes with the cooling fan in
place. This helps reduce test induced engine heat.
Safety Messages
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. The types of safety
messages are:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the
operator or to bystanders.
Indicates a potential hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury to the operator
or to bystanders.
Indicates a potential hazard which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury to the operator or to
bystanders.
The three-part message panel, used with safety messages, uses
three different type styles to further define the potential hazard:
•
Normal type states the hazard,
•
Bold type states how to avoid the hazard, and
• Italic type
states the possible consequences of not avoiding
the hazard.
Some safety messages contain visual symbols with signal words.
Example:
Risk of burns.
Do not remove radiator cap unless engine is cold. Pressurized
engine coolant may be hot.
Hot engine coolant can cause serious burns.
