SAFETY
Always wear a seat belt while driving the equipment during operation and transport.
Serious injury or even death could result from falling from the operator’s station or from
being involved in a collision.
(SNPO-05)
Start the engines only when seated and belted in the operator’s seat. Operate the
equipment controls only while properly seated with the seat belt secured around you.
Inadvertent movement of the power unit or attachment components may cause serious
injury or death to the operator and passersby. Read the truck or Power Unit operator’s
manuals for proper starting instructions.
(SNPO-06)
Do not operate, or perform maintenance to, the Equipment while wearing loose fitting
clothing. Entanglement of loose clothing with the rotating elements can result in serious
injury or death. Stay clear of all rotating elements at all times.
(SNPD-7)
Operate only in conditions where you have clear visibility of the area in daylight or with
adequate artificial lighting. Never operate in darkness of foggy conditions where you
cannot clearly see at least 50 feet in front and to the sides of the equipment. Make sure
that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead
obstructions, power lines, oversized debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to see
these types of items, discontinue operation until visibility improves.
(SNPO-8)
When transporting the Snow Plow between locations, follow all local traffic laws and
regulations.
(SNPO-10)
Operate at a speed that allows you to safely operate and control the Truck and Snow Plow.
Safe plowing speed depends on street condition and the type and amount of debris being
moved. Slow down for corners, curbs, parked cars, protruding signs and other obstacles.
Use slow traveling speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs,
overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.
(SNPO-13)
Do not operate the Equipment if excessive vibration or noise exists. Shut
down the equipment and the Truck or Power Unit engine. Inspect the
Equipment to determine the source of the vibration or noise. If parts are
loose, damaged, or missing, replace them immediately. Do not operate the
Equipment until all necessary repairs have been performed. To reduce the
possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never operate
the Equipment with missing or damaged components.
(SNPO-16)
Never attempt to plow debris that is too large for the Snow Plow (oversized objects such as
broken limbs and discarded tires). Such objects may damage the snow plow components
and cause serious mechanical damage to the equipment. If possible, carefully place such
objects out of the Snow Plow and traffic path until properly removed by another means.
