WARNING
Safe RO/RO operation depends on strict adherence to RO/RO regulations. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death to personnel or damage to equipment.
All personnel working in machine operating areas during RO/RO operations must wear
hearing protection. Failure to wear hearing protection may result in hearing loss.
CAUTION
Machines transported without proper safeguards may incur wind damage. Ensure all
doors and compartments are securely latched and secured against flying open. Failure to
do so may cause damage to equipment during transit.

causing turbocharger to spin, without the benefit of lubrication. Failure to cover exhaust
pipe may damage turbocharger.
