Lit. No. B64090, Rev. 00 5 April 1, 2006
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.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY
Always inspect hydraulic components and hoses
before using. Replace any damaged or worn parts
immediately.
If you suspect a hose leak, DO NOT use your
hand to locate it. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood.
FUSES
The electrical and hydraulic systems contain several
automotive blade-style fuses. If a problem should occur
and fuse replacement is necessary, the replacement
fuse must be of the same type and amperage rating as
the original. Installing a fuse with a higher rating can
damage the system and could start a fire.
SAFETY
WARNING
Lower 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.
CAUTION
See your BLIZZARD
®
outlet for application
recommendations.
CAUTION
Plowing speed should not exceed 10 mph.
CAUTION
Transport speed should not exceed 45 mph.
Reduce speed under adverse travel conditions.
CAUTION
Read Owner's Manual before operating or
servicing snowplow.
WARNING
Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR including the
blade and ballast. The rating label is found on
the driver-side vehicle door cornerpost.
WARNING
Remove blade assembly before placing vehicle
on hoist.
WARNING
The driver shall keep bystanders clear of the
blade when it is being raised, lowered or
angled. Do not stand between the vehicle and
the blade or within 8 feet of a moving blade. A
moving or falling blade could cause personal
injury.
WARNING
You can die or be seriously injured. Keep
hands and feet away from hitch mechanism
and snowplow blade when operating the
POWER HITCH™ arm. The action of the arm
moves the snowplow toward the vehicle and
into position for proper attachment.
CAUTION
To prevent accidental movement of the blade,
always turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF whenever
the snowplow is not in use. The control indicator
light (touchpad only) will turn off.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can cause skin
injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic
fluid, get medical attention immediately.
