whats the one thing the more exp. operators can tell the newbies everyday that can save there lifes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the one i used the most is look up and live!!!!!!!!lets hear some more from you guys

I got a novel idea.  How about read and understand the operators manual.  It sounds stupid, but it should be required before sending ANYONE out on there own.  It shows the trainee the principles and guidlines for driving, set-up, operation and mantenance of the pump.  It also shows the location and funtion of the different components on the pumps.  This is a HUGE plus, because if there is a problem the operator can communicate, IN KNOWN TERMS, what it is!
