Look for Supplemental Information
Occasionally, new or revised information will become available after manuals are printed. To get this up-to-date information into your hands, publication supplements are prepared and supplied to the field in the machine literature package.
Supplements can be supplied in the following forms and are usually identified with one of these titles:
-
Direction(s) Sheet
-
Installation Instructions
-
Publications Supplement
Before your initial review of the Operator's Manual, look through the machine literature package to see if any supplemental information has been provided. If supplied, review this information to determine which operating procedures are impacted or modified by the revised instructions. Pay close attention to "CAUTION" and "IMPORTANT" statements as they address your safety, the safety of others, and the safe operation of the machine.
Operator's Manuals are revised annually, at which time the supplemental information is incorporated directly into the manual, thereby eliminating the supplement
