SAFETY
CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING IMPLEMENT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES
Always turn on all safety lights and flashers when you operate the Snow Plow. (SNPS-5)
Be particularly careful in transport. The Implement has raised and moved the center of
gravity to the front of the Power Unit increasing the possibility of overturn and tipping
forward. Turn curves or go up slopes only at low speed and using a gradual turning angle.
Go up slopes with the Implement located uphill. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces.
(SPU-2)
Do not stand or allow bystander or coworkers between the attachment
and the truck or power unit while installing or disconnecting the
attachment. Keep hands and body clear of the attachment and the
attachment mounts. Serious injury or death can result from a person
being crushed between the attachment and truck or power unit.
(SNPC-01)
Reset the tripped snow plow edge by raising the snow plow off the ground. DO NOT
attempt to reset the trip edge by hand. The trip edge is spring loaded and sudden and
unexpected movement can occur resulting in serious injuries. Keep and hands and feet
away from the trip edge. If the trip edge does not reset, stop plowing and have the snow
plow repaired before resuming snow plowing.
(SNPO-12)
Make sure the implement is properly attached to the Power Unit and the retaining pins
securely lock the Implement into position. Improper mounting of the Implement onto the
Power Unit can result in the Implement falling causing serious injury.
(SNPC-02)
The operator of the equipment must be trained in the operation and safe use of this
machine. The operator must read and completely understand the operator’s manuals of
the Snow Plow, Truck or Power unit manufacturers. New operators should be trained in an
open area clear of obstructions before operating on public roadways. If operation of the
entire Snow Plow unit (Truck or Power unit) is not completely understood, consult your
authorized sales representative for a detailed explanation. Never allow an untrained or
unqualified driver to operate the Snow Plow.
(SNPD-1)
The Snow Plow driver must meet the requirements and possess a Motor Vehicle License
as determined by the state in which the Snow Plow is operated if used on public roadways.
Contact your local State Department of Public Safety office for special licensing
requirements to operate the Snow Plow in your area.
