WARNING • Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure long hair. Lower the blade when the 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. • Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from battery acid, gasoline, dirt and dust. • Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine, radiator, hoses and exhaust pipes. • Always have a fire extinguisher rated BC handy, for flammable liquids and electrical fires. WARNING The driver shall keep bystanders clear of the blade when it is being raised, lowered or angled. Do not stand between vehicle and blade or within 8 feet of a moving blade. A moving or falling blade could cause personal injury. FIRE AND EXPLOSION WARNING Gasoline is highly flammable and gasoline vapor is explosive. Never smoke while working on vehicle. Keep all open flames away from gasoline tanks and lines. Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately. WARNING Keep hands and feet clear of the blade and A-frame when mounting or removing the snowplow. Moving or falling assemblies could cause personal injury. Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away from sources of heat or flame. WARNING CELL PHONES Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR including the blade and ballast. The rating label is found on the driver-side vehicle door cornerpost. A driver's first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay attention to the road.
