BATTERY SAFETY
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.
VENTILATION
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and gasoline
vapor is explosive. Never smoke while
working on a vehicle. Keep all open flames
away from gasoline tanks and lines. Wipe up
any spilled gasoline immediately.
WARNING
Vehicle exhaust contains deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) gas. Breathing this gas, even
in low concentrations, could cause death.
Never operate a vehicle in an enclosed area
without venting exhaust to the outside.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery before removing
or replacing electrical components such as a
motor relay or battery cable.
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.
TORQUE CHART
CAUTION
Read instructions before assembling. Bolts
should be finger tight until instructed to tighten
according to the torque chart. Use standard
methods and practices when attaching
snowplow including wearing safety glasses
during cutting, drilling and welding.
WARNING
Hydraulic oil under pressure could cause skin
injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic
oil, get medical attention immediately.
