SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper installation and operation could cause
personal injury and/or equipment and property
damage. Read and understand labels and the
Owner's Manual before installing, operating, or making
adjustments.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Always inspect hydraulic components and hoses
before using. Replace any damaged or worn parts
immediately.
• If you suspect a hose leak, DO NOT use your
hand to locate it. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood.
FUSES
The snowplow electrical and hydraulic systems
contain several automotive-style fuses. If a problem
should occur and fuse replacement is necessary,
the replacement fuse must be of the same type and
amperage rating as the original. Installing a fuse with a
higher rating could damage the system and could start
a
fi
re. Fuse Replacement, including fuse ratings and
locations, is located in the Maintenance section of this
Owner's Manual.
SAFETY
WARNING
Lower blade when 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.
CAUTION
See your BLIZZARD
®
outlet for application
recommendations.
CAUTION
Plowing speed should not exceed 10 mph

Remove blade assembly before placing
vehicle on hoist.
WARNING
The driver shall keep bystanders clear of the
blade when it is being raised, lowered, or

moving or falling blade could cause personal
injury.
WARNING
You can die or be seriously injured. Keep
hands and feet away from hitch mechanism
and snowplow blade when operating the
POWER HITCH™ arm. The action of the arm
moves the snowplow toward the vehicle and
into position for proper attachment.
WARNING
To prevent accidental movement of the blade,
always turn the control OFF whenever the
snowplow is not in use. The power indicator
light will turn OFF.
