A Few Words About Safety

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. Operating this vehicle safely is an important responsibility.

To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating procedures and other information on safety labels and in this manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.

Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all hazards associated with operating or maintaining a vehicle. You must use your own good judgement.


You will find important safety information in a variety of forms, including:

  • Safety labels on the vehicle
  • Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert symbol and one of three signal words:
  • DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.

    These signal words mean:

    3DANGER

    You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.


    3WARNING

    You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.


    3CAUTION

    You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
