DURING OPERATION
No one other than the operator should ride on the
tractor. Never allow anyone to ride on the plow at any
time.
INSPECT all hydraulic hoses for leaks, cracks and
abrasions once a year. Tighten fittings or replace
hoses as needed.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
enough force to penetrate the skin. Hydraulic fluid
may also infect a minor cut or opening in the skin. If
injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once.
Serious infection or reaction can result in medical
treatment is not given immediately. Make sure all
connections are tight and that hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying pressure to the

piece of cardboard or wood. Never use hands.
Do not attempt to remove any obstruction while the
plow is in motion.
Keep hands, feet, clothing and other objects away
from moving parts.
When adjusting or servicing hydraulic reset or spring
trip units, be sure to keep hands and fingers away
