OPERATOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES
All Safety Shields, Guards and other Protective Safety devices should be used and
maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be inspected
carefully at least daily for missing or broken components.
NEVER REMOVE
PROTECTIVE SHIELDS AND GUARDS! NEVER MODIFY OR CUT PROTECTIVE SHIELDS OR
GUARDS!
When shields or guards are removed to access areas for maintenance, they must be
replaced and be in good condition before operating. Missing, broken, or worn shields,
guards, and other protective devices must be replaced at once and prior to operation
to reduce the possibility of injury.

The Snow Plow power unit should be equipped with a fire extinguisher, rated for all fires, in
an accessible and visible area. The fire extinguisher should be inspected routinely by a
certified inspector for operational use and replaced as needed. Never obstruct access to
the fire extinguisher.

NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while driving or operating the Snow
Plow. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and coordination and therefore
affect the operator’s ability to operate the Equipment safely. Before operating the
Equipment, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must
consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication
that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER
knowingly allow anyone to operate this Equipment when their alertness or
coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others
could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

servicing, repairing, and/or cleaning the Equipment. PPE is designed to provide bodily
protection during such activities.
