1.1 INTRODUCTION
Sky Trak International (hereafter, Sky Trak) products
meet all applicable industry safety standards. Sky Trak
actively promotes safe practices in the use and mainte-
nance of its products through training programs, instruc-
tional manuals, and the pro-active efforts of all
employees involved in engineering, design, manufacture,
marketing and service.
Many factors contribute to unsafe conditions: carelessness,
fatigue, overload, inattentiveness, unfamiliarity, even
drugs and alcohol, among others. Although equipment
damage can usually be repaired in a brief period of time,
death and irreparable injury are permanent. For optimal
safety, encourage everyone to think, and to act, safely.
Read, understand and follow the information in this man-
ual, and obey all locally-approved safety practices, proce-
dures, rules, codes, regulations and laws. Prior to
performing any maintenance on the vehicle, consider all
factors, circumstances and conditions which can have an
effect upon the safety of personnel and equipment, and
take appropriate action to ensure the safety of all
involved.
These instructions cannot cover all details or variations in
the equipment, procedures, or processes described, nor
provide directions for meeting every possible contingency
during operation, maintenance, or testing. When additional
information is desired to satisfy a situation not covered
sufficiently, consult the local Sky Trak distributor or the
Sky Trak Service Department at 1-800-439-8959.
1.2 OWNERS/OPERATORS MANUAL
The vehicle must be driven and operated as a consequence
of, or when performing, service, maintenance and test pro-
cedures. The service technician must, therefore, thor-
oughly read, understand, and follow the
Sky Trak 3606
Owners/Operators Manual
.
An owners/operators manual is supplied with each vehicle
and must be kept in the holder or storage compartment
located to the left and below the operators seat (for vehi-
cles without the closed cab option, see Fig. 1–1; for vehi-
cles with the closed cab option, see Fig. 1–2).
In the event that the owners/operators manual is missing,
consult the local Sky Trak distributor or the Sky Trak Ser-
vice Department before proceeding.
Figure 1–1. The Owners/Operators Manual holder is
located beneath the seat (
without closed cab option).
Figure 1–2. The Owners/Operators Manual holder is
located at the left side of the seat base ( closed cab option ).
1.3 SAFETY INFORMATION
The following information provides general safety instruc-
tions, including signal words, hazard statement definitions,
notification of hazards, methods to help avoid hazards,
and the consequences of failing to follow the safety
information. For safe maintenance of the vehicle, read,
understand and follow all DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION information.
The information in this manual does not replace any
other safety rules or proper judgment. Governmental
authorities and employers also have their own sets of
rules, codes, regulations and laws. Before starting work
at a site, check with the supervisor or safety coordinator
and ask about the safety policy. Learn the safety require-
ments in effect before operating, maintaining, servicing
or testing the vehicle. Safety depends on following safety
requirements.
