WARNING: Risk of Personal Injury!

MOVING COMPONENTS

When working on components which are moved by hand, by electric motor, by hydraulic or pneumatic means via a connecting mechanism, severe injury may be sustained as a result of severing, trapping or crushing of limbs.

During work in the area of the roll bar, there is a risk of serious injury should the roll bar suddenly deploy.
Extend the roll bar before working in the roll bar area. Keep parts of your body away from the range of travel of roll bar mechanism.
