machine in place during transport. Ensure that 
the machine is well fastened to the transport 
vehicle. Always reverse the machine onto the 
transport vehicle to avoid tipping it over.

pressure can have sufficient force 
to penetrate the skin, causing 
serious injury. If injured by escaping 
fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious 
infection or reaction can develop 
if proper medical treatment is not 
administered immediately.
