SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Improper installation and operation could cause

personal injury and/or equipment and property damage.

Read and understand labels and the Owner's Manual

before installing, operating, or making adjustments.

WARNING

Lower the blade when vehicle is parked.

Temperature changes could change

hydraulic pressure, causing the blade to

drop unexpectedly or damaging hydraulic

components. Failure to do this could result in

serious personal injury.

WARNING

The driver shall keep bystanders clear of the

blade when it is being raised, lowered, or

angled. Do not stand between vehicle and blade

or within 8 feet of a moving blade. A moving

or falling blade could cause personal injury.

WARNING

Keep hands and feet clear of the blade and

A‑frame when mounting or removing the

snowplow. Moving or falling assemblies could

cause personal injury.

WARNING

To prevent accidental movement of the blade,

always turn the control OFF whenever the

snowplow is not in use. The power indicator

light will turn OFF.

WARNING

Remove blade assembly before placing

vehicle on hoist.

Lit. No. 79257, Rev. 00

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Remove the ignition key and set the vehicle

parking brake to prevent others from starting the

vehicle during installation or service.

• Wear only snug-fitting clothing while working on

your vehicle or snowplow.

• Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure

long hair.

• Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from

battery acid, gasoline, dirt, and dust.

• Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine,

radiator, hoses, and exhaust pipes.

• Always have a fire extinguisher rated BC handy,

for flammable liquids and electrical fires.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Gasoline is highly flammable and gasoline

vapor is explosive. Never smoke while

working on vehicle. Keep all open flames

away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up

any spilled gasoline immediately.

Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline

to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away

from sources of heat or flame.

CELL PHONES

A driver's first responsibility is the safe operation of

the vehicle. The most important thing you can do

to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay

attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate

mobile communication equipment such as cell phones,

text messaging devices, pagers, or two‑way radios.

VENTILATION

Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes.

Breathing these fumes, even in low

concentrations, can cause death. Never

operate a vehicle in an enclosed area without

venting exhaust to the outside.
