SAFETY
Allow passengers only in situations where their presence is involved in the operation
(operator training, supervision, maintenance inspection). Never carry passengers whose
presence distracts from the safe operation or transport of the equipment. Passengers
must be seated securely and belted in the cab’s passenger seat. Never allow any person
to ride on any other location of the Truck, Power Unit or Snow Plow during operation or
transport.
(SNPO-30)
Extreme caution should be used by the operator when operating near passersby. Stop
snow plowing if a passerby comes within 25 feet of the plow to prevent possible passerby
injury or death from being struck by the equipment or from a thrown object.
(SNPO-31)
Under certain conditions, the Snow Plow is capable of propelling objects up to 75 feet. Be
extremely careful when plowing at higher speeds and hitting large dense objects, such as
rocks, chucks of frozen ice, metal objects, broken glass, or other solid objects that might
become propelled and cause bodily injury to passersby or damage to property such as
windows and vehicles.
(SNPO-32)
Make sure that no bystander, animal or obstruction such as a vehicle, building, or
street sign are within the width of the Snow Plow. The design of the Snow Plow may
impair the operator vision when operating. Use extreme caution to ensure that the
Snow Plow is not driven into the path of pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Serious injury
or death and property damage could result from running into, being crushed by, or
run over by a Snow Plow.
(SNPO-33)
Make sure no bystanders or animals are within 25 feet of the equipment
basket when dumping contents from or cleaning the Snow Basket. Bucket
contents, which may exceed several thousand pounds, could fall and crush a
bystander or an animal resulting in possible injury or death.
(SNPO-34)
On fully assembled unit, do not remove the wing retaining chain until hoses
are attached to the power unit and the wing folding cylinders have been filled
with oil. Lower wings slowly and carefully. Keep bystanders clear of area
when lowering wings. Sudden or unexpected dropping of wing could result in
serious injury.
(SNPO-36)
Use extreme caution when operating the Equipment in traffic. To alert motorist of the
Equipment’s presence, use all equipped warning signals to alert motorist and pedestrians
of the equipment’s presence and relatively slow speed. Serious injury or death and
property damage may occur if a vehicle collides with this Equipment.
(SNPS-3)
Before starting a snow plowing operation, make sure all the warning signal lights are
connected, visible and working. Routinely inspect the equipment’s headlights, brake lights,
backup lights, and turn signal lights for operational condition. Immediately repair non-
functioning lighting. Always follow all local traffic regulations while operating the Snow
Plow.
