Look closely at these decals... Can you find whats missing? (ignore the date on the photos, they were taken recently)
Can you tell what is wrong with this decal compared to the photo on the right?	Hum... seems there's a fourth peddle where there was only three in the decal...? From the factory this way!
Let's see.. where is the decal to show us what the peddels are used for?	Here are the peddels... but no decal to identify them?
For the good old days when they used to put the decals on the side of the counter weights not if front of it like here in the pictures	This is an example of a good decal.
Well, this would be a good decal if they explained what it was for....?	Well... what is wrong with this one..? ASME standards say to stay 40' away not 20'.
Damaged Decals need to be replaced	Damaged Decals need to be replaced
