Safety 3
NEVER allow hands, hair, or clothing to get near
any moving parts such as fan moldboards, belts,
and pulleys. Never wear neckties or loose fitting
clothing when working on the vehicle.
NEVER wear wristwatches, rings, or other jewel-
ry when working on the vehicle. They can catch
on moving parts or cause an electrical short that
could result in serious personal injury.
ALWAYS wear suitable eye protection when
working on the vehicle to protect from battery
acid, gasoline, and dirt thrown from moving en-
gine parts.
ALWAYS be aware of and avoid contact with hot
surfaces such as engine, radiator, and hoses.
ALWAYS wear suitable eye protection when strik-
ing metal against metal. It is recommended that
a softer, non-chipping metal be used to cushion
the blow.
NEVER use your hands to check for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Escaping fluid under pressure can
be invisible and can penetrate the skin and can
cause serious injury. If any fluid is injected into
the skin, see a doctor at once. A doctor familiar
with this type of injury must surgically remove
the injected fluid or gangrene may result.
ALWAYS make sure the vehicle is parked on sol-
id, level ground and the plow moldboard is down
when not being operated.
ALWAYS unplug the two conductor power cable
at the grill when performing tests on the plow
harness, motor solenoid, hydraulic solenoids, or
any time you need to work on the moldboard.
