 CAUTION

Batteries normally produce explosive gases, 

which can cause personal injury. Therefore, 

do not allow flames, sparks, or lit tobacco 

to come near the battery. When charging or 

working near a battery, always cover your 

face and protect your eyes, and also provide 

ventilation.

•  Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which burns 

skin, eyes, and clothing.

•  Disconnect the battery before removing or 

replacing any electrical components.

 CAUTION

Read instructions before assembling. 

Fasteners should be finger tight until 

instructed to tighten according to torque 

chart. Use standard methods and practices 

when attaching snowplow including proper 

personal protective safety equipment.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline 

to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away 

from sources of heat or flame.

CELL PHONES

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. Wait until it is safe to operate 

mobile communication equipment such as cell phones, 

text messaging devices, pagers, or two‑way radios.

VENTILATION

BATTERY SAFETY

 WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and gasoline 

vapor is explosive. Never smoke while 

working on vehicle. Keep all open flames 

away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up 

any spilled gasoline immediately.

 WARNING

Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes. 

Breathing these fumes, even in low 

concentrations, can cause death. Never 

operate a vehicle in an enclosed area without 

venting exhaust to the outside.
