CAUTION
Batteries normally produce explosive gases
which can cause personal injury. Therefore,
do not allow
fl
ames, 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
fi
nger tight until
instructed to tighten according to torque
chart. Use standard methods and practices
when attaching snowplow including proper
personal protective safety equipment.
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.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly
fl
ammable and gasoline
vapor is explosive. Never smoke while
working on vehicle. Keep all open
