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 FISHER

®

 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 can damage the system and could start 

fi

 re. Fuse Replacement, including fuse ratings and 

locations, is located in the Maintenance section of the 
Owner's Manual.

PERSONAL SAFETY

•  Remove the ignition key and put the vehicle in 

PARK or in gear to prevent others from starting 
the vehicle during installation or service.

•  Wear only snug-

fi

 tting clothing while working on 

your vehicle or snowplow.

•  Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure long 

hair.

•  Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from 

battery acid, gasoline, dirt, and dust.

•  Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine, 

radiator, hoses, and exhaust pipes.

•  Always have a 

fi

 re extinguisher rated BC handy, 

for 

fl

 ammable liquids and electrical 

fi

 res.

 WARNING

Hydraulic 

fl

 uid under pressure can cause skin 

injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic 

fl

 uid, get medical attention immediately.

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.

 WARNING

Lower the 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.

 WARNING

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 
angled. Do not stand between vehicle and 
blade or within 8 feet of a moving blade. A 
moving or falling blade could cause personal 
injury.

 WARNING

Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR, including 
blade and ballast. The rating label is found on 
driver-side vehicle door cornerpost.

 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.

 WARNING

Keep hands and feet clear of the blade and 
A-frame when mounting or removing the 
snowplow. Moving or falling assemblies could 
cause personal injury.

 CAUTION

Refer to the current eMatch selection system 
for minimum vehicle recommendations and 
ballast requirements.
