This material has been prepared in de- tail in the hope that it will help you to better understand the correct care and efficient operation of your tractor. Your International Harvester dealer has factory-trained servicemen, modera tools, and IH service parts to assure you of satisfac- tory tractor operation. To get the most out of your tractor, and to assure economical apera- Yion and top performance, your tractor should be inspected periodically by your International Harvester dealer. Depending upon your use of the tractor, these inspections should be performed as needed, or at least once a year, at which time a tune-up or other necessary service work should be performed. Proper pre-season maintenance will assure you of minimum lost time when your tractor is most needed. Dealers are kept informed on the latest methods of servicing tractors. They carry stocks of IH parts, and are backed in every case by the full facilities of a nearby International Harvester district office and parts depot. haat. 3 Toms of location. In order to provide a tractor equipped as nearly as possible to suit each customer's needs, a variety of extra equipment and ac- cessories is available. Where operating and maintaining instruc~ tion on these items is required, it is included in the instructions for operating or maintain- ing the tractor. Disregard the instructions for ‘equipment not on your tractor, ‘The illustrations in this manual are num- bered to correspond with the pages on which they appear; for example, Illysts. 3 and 3A ere on pepe 3. ‘Throughout this manual the use of the terms LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, and REAR must be understood to avoid confusion when following instructions. LEFT and RIGHT indicate the left and right sides of the tractor when facing forward in the driver's seat. Reference to FRONT indicates the grille end of the tractor: to REAR, the drawbar end. $ lust, 3 Locetion of tractor serial member,INTRODUCTION When in need of parts, always specify the tractor and engine serial numbers, The trac- tor serial number is stamped on a pad or the reduction drive housing on the right side of the tractor. See tlluet, 3A. ‘The engine serial number is stamped on a plate on the left ide of the engine. See Illus 4 Locetion of engine serie! number. INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS LIFTING THE HOOD The tractor hood is arranged to swing up and forward to make the engine and fuel tank readily accessible To raise the hood, take hold of each side of the hood at the rear, pull outward, and raise it upward and forward to its stop. CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDAL, ‘The combination clutch and brake pedal is used to disengage the engine from the trans- mission when shifting gear and to actuate the brake to stop the tractor. gage the clutch, press the pedal ap- ly half way down. To stop the tractor press the pedal all the way down. ‘The brake pedal lock is used to lock the brake pedal in the depressed position. This keeps the tractor from moving. IMPLEMENT LIFT HANDLE ‘This handle is used to lift or lower imple- ments used with the tractor. Depress the release button to move the handle. When operating an implement in the “FLOAT" position, depress the release button on top of the handle and move the wire bail over the top of the button. An adjustable stop limits the travel of the implement handle to control the lowering of the implement when “FREE-TO-FLOAT' See tllvet. 1A. GEARSHIFT LEVER This lever is used to select various gear raiios provided in the transmission. There are three forward speeds and one reverse speed. Seellust, tA.

When the creeper shift handle (illest. §) is moved all the way forward it is in the direct, drive position. When the handle is moved all the way rearward, it is in the creeper drive Position. Do not use a mid-point position on the creeper drive as a neutral. Neutral must be obtained only with the standard transmission gearshift lever, CHOKE CONTROL BUTTON (Electric Storting) The choke control button is used to regu- late the carburetor choke. Pulling out on the choke control button closes the carburetor choke for starting the engine; pushing it back in opens the choke.INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS. CARBURETOR CHOKE LEVER (Manvel Storting) ‘The carburetor choke lever controls the air supply to the carburetor. When the choke lever is moved away from the engine all the way (closed position) the air supply is cut off. thereby enriching the fuel mixture for starting the engine. Moving the choke lever back in opens the choke for normal engine operation. ‘THROTTLE LEVER This lever (on the right side of the instru- ment panel) controls the speed of the engine and, when set ina given position, will main- tain a uniform engine speed. When the lever i¢ set at the bottom posi- tion "SLOW", the engine speed is fully retarded and when the lever is at the top position "FAST", the engine epeed is fully advanced. GOVERNOR The governor is set at the time the engine is assembled and should not require readjust- ment unless the governor arm is removed or loosened from the governor shaft. Consult your International Harvester dealer if the governor dees not function properly IGNITION SWITCH A key-type lock ignition switch is on the right side of the instrument panel. Turn the "y clockwise to turn on the ignition. The key cannot be removed when in this position. Note: For troctors with electric sterling, when the engine is not operating or the engine has stalled and the operator leaves the tractor, the key must be turned to the "OFF" position to prevent battery discharge. PUSH BUTTON STARTING SWITCH (Electric Storting) Pushing thie button completes the electrical circuit between the battery and the motor~ generator causing it to function as a cranking motor to start the engine. RETRACTABLE STARTER (Manual Storting) This starter uses a friction shoe assembly under spring tension to engage in the drive cup when the starter handle is pulled.- LIGHTING SWITCH BUTTON Pull the button (illus. 5) out to turn on the Lights and push it in to turn off the lights BEFORE STARTING THE TRACTOR LUBRICATION Lubricate the entire tractor, using the "Lubrication Guide". Check the oil levels of the engine crank- case and transmission to see that they are filled to the correct levels with oil of the proper viscosity for the prevailing temperature. Re- fer to "Lubrication Section", beginning on poge a. PNEUMATIC TIRES Check the air pressure and inflate or deflate the front and rear tires on the Interna- tional Cub Cadet 70 Tractor to six pounds for normal operating conditions, or eight pounds for heavy load operations. The front tires on the International Cub Cadet 100 Tractor should have eight pounds and the rear tires six pounds for normal operating conditions or ten pounds in the front tires and eight pounds in the rear tires for heavy load operations, Mow. 6 OU Level gouge.BEFORE STARTING THE TRACTOR FUEL SYSTEM Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade gasoline, preferably at the end of each day's use. This will force out any moisture- laden air and prevent condensation in the fuel tank. Do not mix oil with the gasoline. The fuel tank filler cap has an air vent. Keep the vent open at all times to assure proper flow of the fuel. Safety First! Never remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel tank when the engine ie running or is hot, or when near an open flame. Do not smoke when working around inflammable fuel, as the air within a radiue of several feet is mixed with a highly explosive vapor. When pouring fuel, keep the container oF hose nozzle in contact with the metal of the fuel tank to avoid the possibility of an electric spark igniting the gas. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine. INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS Thoroughly acquaint yourself with all inetrumente and controle, as described en popes 4106, before attempting to start or operate the tractor.

See tiles. 4A. 2. Pull the choke control button all the way out (see Illust. 7). More or less choking may be necessary due to variations in temperature, grade of fuel, etc. Little or none will be Reeded when the engine is warm. 3. Place the throttle lever halfway between "SLOW" and "FAST". See lilust. 7. 4. Dinengage the clutch by pressing the clutch and brake pedal all the way down, 5. Turn the ignition ewitch clockwise to the horizontal position. Press the starter Dutton (illus, 5) and release it as soon as the engine starts; however, do not operate the motor -generator for more than 30 seconds at ‘any one time, If the engine does not start within this time, release the starter button and wait a minute or two; then try again. 6. After the engine starts, slowly relea! the clutch pedal and gradually push the choke control button all the way in. Do not use the choke to enrich the fuel mixture, except when necessary to start the engine. STARTING THE ENGINE (With Monvol Starting) 1. Put the gearshift lever in the neutral position and lock the brake. 2, Pull the choke control button all the way out. See ltlust. 5. More or less choking may be necessary duc to variations in temperature, grade of fuel etc. Little or none will be needed when the engine is warm. 3. Place the throttle lever halfway between SLOW" and "FAST". See illest. 5. 4, Turn the key ignition switch clockwise. 5. Raise the tractor hood. The retractable starter is mounted on a support plate at the front of the engine at the right side of the trac- tor, 6. Give a quick steady pull on the retract- able starter handle to start the engine. Do not jerk or pull it out to its very end in a rough manner. A steady pull will accomplish just as much, Always pull the handle so the cord is in ‘a straight line through the guide. Maintain Your hold on the handle and allow the cord to return slowly. Releasing the handle when the cable is extended will shorten the life of the starter. 7. After the engine starts, gradually push the choke control button all the way in. STOPPING THE ENGINE Move the throttle lever to the "SLOW" po- sition and allow the engine to idle for a short time before stopping. Then turn the key to the “OFF” position. FUEL SYSTEM The flange bolte "A" (Illeste. 9 ond 9A) which hold the carburetor to the engine should be checked periodically for tightness. Also the fuel bow! nut under the carburetor should be checked occasionally to see that it is kept tight to avoid any air leakage past the fuel bowl gasket. CLEANING THE FUEL STRAINER AND SEDIMENT BOWL Clean the fuel strainer after every 25 hours of operacion. To do this proceed as follows: 1, Close the shut-off valve. - See tllvate, 9 end 2. Loosen the knurled nut under the sedi- ment bowl and remove the bowl and screen. 3. Clean the sediment bowl and screen. 4. When reassembling, be sure the cork gacket between the bowl and the main body is, fn good condition and does not leak. Use a new gasket if necessary. CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS. The carburetor is adjusted at the factory and under normal operating conditions it wil! not require readjusting. If this adjustment has been disturbed for any reason, proceed as follows: Adjusting the High-Speed Adjustment Screw Turn the high speed adjustment screw (lllysts. 9 and 9A) counterclockwise two turns from the closed position and start the eagineFUEL SYSTEM CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS - Continues Adjusting the High Speed Adjustment Serew - Cont After the engine has reached normal oper- ating temperature, accelerate the engine and check its response. i Fuel shut-off hast. 9A, CCorburetor and fuel strainer ‘Ten horsepower engine.) Place the engine under load and adjust the high speed adjustment screw (illeats. 9 oné 9A) tO the leanest mixture that will allow satisfactory acceleration and steady governor operation. If the engine misses and backfires under joad, the high speed mixture is too lean. The high speed adjustment screw must be turned counter-clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the condition is corrected. If the engine shows a sooty exhaust and is sluggish under load, the high speed mixture is, too rich. The high apeed adjustment screw must be turned clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the condition is corrected. For a final check of the high speed adjust- ment, operate the engine under load and make any corrections necessary for smooth operation Adjusting the Idle Adjustment Screw The idle adjustment screw tllusts. 9 oné 9A) adjustments should be made at the same time fae the high speed adjustment screw adjust- ments, as each effects the other. Close the idle adjustment screw to its seat by turning it clockwise; then open it one turn. Start the engine and operate it at fast idling apeed (without any load) until thoroughly warm. While the engine is running at fast idle speed, it is advisable to screw in the throttle stop screw (llleste. 9 ond 9A) a few turns to keep the engine from stopping when the throttle lever is moved to the fully retarded "SLOW" position. The engine will then be idling at a fairly high speed and the throttle stop screw can be backed out a little at a time until the desired idle speed is obtained. Lf the engine misses or rolls while backing out the throttle stop screw, the idle adjustment screw may be adjusted in or out until the engine operates smoothly. Speed up the engine for a few seconde; then recheck the idle ad= justment. A slight adjustment in oF out will give the amoothest idle. FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE Be sure the shut-off valve on the fuel strainer under the gasoline tank is open. To prevent leakage or seepage when the valve is in its full-open position, screw out the needle ‘stem (shut-off valve) until the seat on the stem is tight against the stop,DRIVING THE TRACTOR ADJUSTING THE SEAT lust, 10 ‘Adjvating the sect. ‘The tractor seat can be set in the most comfortable driving position by loosening the four cap screws in the seat spring clamping plate and sliding the spring and scat assembly forward or back to the position which is most comfortable for the operator. Tighten the cap screws after the seat is adjusted, LOCKING THE BRAKE ‘Always lock the brake when the tractor is parked on a grade. To lock the brake, press Gown on the foot pedal; then place the brake pedal lock in the engaged position. To disen- Bage the lock, press down on the foot pedal wos Broke pedel lock inthe engaged positions 10 and lift the lock out and place it in the dis- engaged position. STARTING THE TRACTOR 1, Advance the throttle lever slightly. Se 2, Disengage the clutch by pressing the clutch pedal all the way down. 3. Hold the clutch pedal in this position and move the gearshift lever to the desired speed. 4, Start the tractor in motion by slowly releasing the clutch pedal and moving the throttle lever to the position where the engine operates best for the load to be handled. Note: Do not shift gears while the engine clutch is engaged or while the tractor ie in motion. 5. Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving the tractor, as this will result in excessive wear on the clutch lining. Always be sure the rear wheels are free to turn, Under any adverse conditions, do not attempt to free the tractor by speeding up the engine and suddenly engaging the clutch, Try backing out instead of going forward. OPERATING THE CREEPER DRIVE ‘To operate the tractor in creeper drive, move the creeper shift handle (Illvst, §) all the way rearward. Then select the speed desired and proceed as instructed under "Starting the Tractor". The following table shows the speeds avai able in each of the three forward gears and the reverse gear.

Air must be able to circulate freely around the engine, through the screen and shroud, and ‘over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder block, Keep these areas free of accumulated dirt and trash. Failure to do this will cause the engine to overheat and result in damaged moving parts. DRY-TYPE AIR CLEANER Incoming air for combustion is filtered by a dry-type air cleaner having a filter element inside of the cover.ENGINE COOLING AND AIR CLEANER DRY-TYPE AIR CLEANER - Continued Remove and clean or replace the element with a new one when loss of power is noticeable Cleaning the Element To clean the element, remove the wing nut and air cleaner cover (lliust. 12) then remove the element and tap it lightly on a flat surface to cause the loose dirt to fall off. Handle the paper element with care to avoid perforations. Do not use compressed air to remove the dirt as this can rupture the element. Do not wash or use solvent. Replace the element with a new one if dirt does not drop off easily or if it is bent, crushed or damaged. When replacing the ele~ ment be sure it fits snugly around the inside edge of the air cleaner base. Then replace the cover and tighten the wing nut finger tight. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The twelve-volt electrical system of the tractor consists principally of a motor~ generator, voltage regulator, and a twelve-volt battery. Use the illustrations on page I4, as a guide for identifying the various electrical units and for tracing the electrical cables and connec tions. Be sure all terminals are clean and securely fastened. SPARK PLUGS Note: Remove all dirt from the base of the spark plug before removing the spark plug. Remove the spark plug after every 100 hours of operation for cleaning and checking the gap. A gap of .025-inch should be main- tained, When making this adjustment, always bend the outer electrode. Never bend the center electrode, as it may damage the insulator. If the gap between the electrodes is, too great. due to improper setting or burning off of the ends, the engine will misfire and be hard to start. Cleaning the Spork Plugs. Sandblasting is the recommended method of cleaning the spark plug. Never scrape or clean the insulator with anything which will scratch the porcelain. Scratched porcelain allows carton and dirt te accumulate much Always use a spark plug wrench when removing or reinstalling the plug. Be sure the gasket 1s in good cundition, and screw the plug in tightly. Replace 2 defective plug with a new plug. See your International Harvester dealer for various makes of replacement plugs.

The second mark is the top dead center mark and is stamped with "DC" below the mark, MOTOR-GENERATOR The motor-generator (12-voll, negative ground) will function as a cranking motor when the starter button is pressed, driving the en- gine by means of a belt. When the engine is operating and the starter button is not depressed, the unit will function as a generator. MOTOR-GENERATOR BELT Check the slack of the motor-generator belt after the first 10 hours of operation and every 50 hours of operation thereafter to Assure maintenance of the correct tension. The tension is correct when the belt can be depressed a maximum of 1/4-inch by a ten pound force applied midway between the wo pulleys 1B These instructions also apply when an old belt is replaced with a new one. Adjusting the Motor-Generator Belt Loosen the motor -generator brace bolt “Ae and mounting bolts "B" Must. 14, Move the generator away from the engine until the tension on the belt is correct. See Mlvat, 3A. Note: Under no circumstances should a pry bar be used on the motor-generator to obtain belt tension as damage to the bearings will result.

STORAGE BATTERY Bottery and Cables Before working on any part of the electrical system, disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery negative (-) terminal, See Illus, 14, Do not reconnect this cable until all work has been completed. This will prevent shorting and causing damage to any of the electrical uni Examine the electrical cables occasionally to be sure they are not being chafed by contact with adjacent parts, Cleaning end Servicing the Battery Occasionally remove the battery cables and brighten the terminal contact surfaces with wire wool. and reassemble them. Apply 2 Light coat of vaseline or chassis lubricant. Be sure the terminals are clamped tightly and that the battery is fastened securely in the battery box, Replace unserviceable cabl Keep the vent holes in the battery filler caps open. Ifthe battery shows need of charging. it should be given immediate attention. Keeping the battery fully charged not only adds to its life but makes it available for instant use when needed, Liguid Level ‘Check the battery at least once a month ior water level. The electrolyte (acid and water) in each call should be at ring level at all times to vent battery failure, When the electrolyte is, below this level, pure, distilled water should be added. Acid or electrolyte should never be added except by a skilled battery man. Under no circumstances add any special battery ““dopes,"* solutions or powders. Coution! Electric storage batteries give off highly inflammable hydrogen gas when charg- ing and continue to do so for some time after receiving @ steady charge. Do not under any circumstances allow an electric park or an open flame near the battery. Do not lay tools across battery terminals as this may result in a spark or short circuit which may cause an explosion, Be careful to avoid spilling any electrolyte on hands or clothing. For dependable battery service, see your International Harvester dealer. Ground Coble When replacing a battery, make certain the ground cable is connected to the negative (-) terminal on the battery. 15FRONT WHEELS FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN ar ay A 8 Moat. 16 Front wheel odjustmert ss ‘The front wheel should have 1/32-inch to 1/8-inch toe-in (1/32-inch to 1/8-inch closer in front than in the rear).

CARE OF TIRES Avoid stumps, stone, deep ruts and other hazands. Cute in tires should be repaired immediately as neglect decreases the tire life. Keep tires free from oil and grease as both destroy rubber. After using the tractor for spraying—insect control work—use water to remove any chem- icale that may be on the tir 16 INFLATION Keep the pneumatic tires properly inflated. ‘Underinflation will damage the tire cord body and may also cause the tire to slip on the rim, thus tearing out the tube valve stem, Overin- flation reoulte in excessive slippage. which causes rapid tire wear. Check the air pressure once a week with an accurate low-pressure gauge having one-pound graduations. Do not allow the air pressure to drop below the recommendations. ‘Always see that tire valve caps are in place and screwed on tightly. The caps pre- Vent the lose of air through the valve core, and also prevent loose soil, mud, gravel, Snow, and ice from entering and damaging the valve core and air chamber in the tires.PNEUMATIC TIRES OPERATING PRESSURE FOR TIRES Inflate the front and rear tires for normal or heavy load operations as shown in the fol- lowing table, “Normal Load | Heavy Load Tire Size_| Operations | Operations _ Front Tires, Pounds per equare inch a a cn a Té x 6.50-8 é & ‘Rear Tires Siz 6 z 23x 8,50-128) é 6 8 ~ For use with International Cub Cadet 100 Tractors only. MOUNTING TIRES ON THE RIN After mounting a new or old tire on the rim, inflate it to 20 pounds pressure to seat the tire bead on the rim flange and to prevent the tire from creeping and shearing off the valve, Then deflate the tire to the correct operating pressure. REAR WHEEL WEIGHTS The drawbar pull of a tractor can be in- creased by the addition of cast-iron weights to the driving wheels. ‘The rear wheel weights weigh approxi- mately 26 pounds each. Weights can be attached to each rear wheel to reduce slippage and tire wear and increase traction ‘The first et of rear wheel weights is attached to each rear wheel with two bolts. lock washers and hex. nuts. If additional weight is desired, a second set of weights can be attached to each firat weight by using two longer bolts, lock washers, and hex. nuts. TIRE CHAINS Tire chains will provide increased traction for wet ground conditions, when plowing snow, or pulling heavy loads. Rear wheel weights are recommended for use with chains.

ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH It is important that a clearance of . 050- inch be maintained between the clutch release lever and the clutch release bearing. In order to maintain this clearance, the pedal should have a free movement of approximately 5/16- inch, See illest. 17, This measurement is taken at the point of contact of the pedal arm with the front edge of the pedal return stop. ‘The clutch pedal adjustments are set at the factory and should not require frequent atten- tion unless the linkage has been disturbed or when the pedal movement becomes less than 3/16-inch. When it is necessary to adjust the cluteh, turn the adjusting nut "A" on the clutch Felease red (illus. 12) in of out as required to get the proper measurements. ADJUSTING THE BRAKE The brake should engage when the pedal arm is pressed down to within a maximum of 1-3/B-inches and a minimum of 3/4-inch dis- tance above the top of the left foot support, which serves ag the pedal stop. See Illuat. 17, It may be potsible to push the pedal all the way down to the pedai stop, but this is of no concern as long as the brake is engaged when the pedal arm is at least 3/4-inch above the pedal stop. To adjust the brake, loosen the jam nut "BM" and turn the brake lever adjusting screw NG" fille, 10) in oF out ae required to get this 1 measurement.

Leaving your tractor out- doors, exposed to the elements, will result in materially shortening its life Follow the procedure outlined below when your tractor is placed in storage, We also recommend that caution be practiced in starting fan engine that has been in storage, 1. Wash or clean and completely lubricate the tractor. See the "Lubrication Guide’ ‘on poges 22 and 23. 2. Run the engine until the fuel is exhausted irom the fuel tank and carburetor, Glean the fuel strainer screen and glass bowl. See poge 8. Note: Gur will eventually form in the fuel tank, line, and carburetor if the unit is not drained. Gum can be dissolved with acetone or a 50-50 mixture of alcohol and benzol. 3. After the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug and pour one tablespoonful of lubri- cating oil of good quality into the cylinder. Crank the engine slowly by hand to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls. Then replace the spark plug. 4. Clean the exterior of the engine 5. Remove the battery and place it on a rack or pench in a cool, dry place above freez- ing (432° F.). Check the battery at least once a month for water level. See page 15. 6, Press the clutch and brake pedal all the 19, way down and engage the brake pedal lock. This will prevent the clutch lining from stick- ing to the pressure plate. REMOVING FROM STORAGE 1, Remove the spark plug and pous a mix- ture of one-half gasoline and one-half light lubricating oil into the cylinder; one ounce {two tablespoonfuls) ie enough, 2. Crank the engine rapidly until the excess oil has been blown out of the spark plug hole. This operation will loosen any tight piston rings and wash old, gummy oil from valves and piston, 3. Install the spark plug after cleaning and setting the gap. 4. . Fill the fuel tank. 5. Install a fully charged battery and be sure the proper connections are made. See Mluate, 14 and 4a, 6. Start the engine and let it run slowly. Gaution! Do not accelerate the engine rapidly, or operate it at high speed immediately after starting. Also, keep the doors wide open or move the machine outside the storage room immediately, to avoid danger from exhaust gas, 7. Inflate the tires to the correct operating pressures. See “Pneumatic Tires’ on pages 16 ond 17, 8. Before driving the tractor, disengage the brake pedal lock.TROUBLE SHOOTING Possible Couse Possible Remedy HARD TO START No gasoline in fuel tank or carburetor Fill the tank with gasoline; open the fuel shut- off valve. Check the fvel line, fuel strainer and carburetor. Clean the fuel strainer, check the fuel line and carburetor. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor, Use new fuel and dry the spark plug.

When checking the oil level, the gauge must be with- drawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the way and withdrawn for a (rue reading. ENGINE OIL Oils designated "For Service MS" are recommended for this engine. TO AID STARTING To aid starting, the selection of crankcase lubricating oils should be based on the lowest anticipated temperature until the next drain period. GEAR LUBRICANT Use only high-quality lubricating oils and greases as specified in the "Lubrication Table". For your own protection, select only oils and greases of recognized manufacture. Keep your supply of lubricating oil abso- lutely clean and free from dust. Always use clean containers.

To read accident reports from all over the country is to be convinced that a large number of accidents can be prevented only by the operator anticipating the result before the accident is caused and doing something about it. No power-driven equipment, whether it be ‘transportation or processing, whether it be on the highway, in the harvest field or in the industrial plant, can be safer than the man who is at the controls. If accidents are to be pre- vented—and they can be prevented—it will be done by the operators who accept a full measure of their responsibility. It is true that the designer, the manufacturer, the safety engineer can help; and they will help, but their combined efforts can be wiped out by @ single careless act of the operator. Ttis said that "the best kind of a safety device is a careful operator.” We ask you ‘to be that kind of an operator.ours 1044 393 RB. Revi AD) NORTH MICHIGAN AVE » CHICAGO ILLINOIS 66
