Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. And 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 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 the hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. You must use your own good judgment.
You will find this 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:

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