There are several specific safety signs on this machine. The exact location of the hazards and the description of the hazards are reviewed in this section. Please become familiarized with all safety signs.
Make sure that all of the safety signs are legible. Clean the safety signs or replace the safety signs if you cannot read the words. Replace the illustrations if the illustrations are not legible. When you clean the safety signs, use a cloth, water and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, or other harsh chemicals to clean the safety signs. Solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals could loosen the adhesive that secures the safety sign. Loose adhesive will allow the safety sign to fall.
Replace any safety sign that is damaged or missing. If a safety sign is attached to a part that is replaced, install a safety sign on the replacement part. Any AVSpare dealer can provide new safety signs.
