33.00 GENERAL Safety and Precautions
CAUTION:
Do not drop solvent on other items. Use only specifed cleaning materials and solution or their equivalents.
The surface protection could be damaged if unspecified materials are used.
It is important that the manufacturer's mixing application and treatment instructions are followed.
CAUTION:
Emergency light toggle switch drains battery, when placed at arm position, with BAT toggle switch "OFF".
WARNING:
For safety reasons it is essential that the following instructions are respected:
Use care while testing or repairing, because the anti-collision light system uses high voltage.
