Hydraulic Safety
1. Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2. Before applying pressure to the system, inspect for leaks
at all components, and that lines, hoses , connections
and couplings are not damaged and leak free.
3. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic
lines, fittings or hoses by using tapes, clamps or
cements. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly
and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.
4. Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before maintaining
or working on system.
5. Wear proper hand and eye protection when
searching for a high pressure hydraulic leak.
Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop
instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
6. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure
stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention
immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin
surface.
7. All hydraulic work must be done by
qualified
personnel.

BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
The Safety Alert symbol identifies important safety messages on the snow blade and in the
manual. When you see this symbol, read and understand the message, be alert to the potential
hazard in the message. Follow the instructions in the safety message.
1. Follow good safety practices:
• Keep service area clean and dry.
• Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
2. Keep the assembly area neat and clean to prevent
slipping or tripping.
3. Position in a large open area to allow access from all
sides during assembly.
4. When using lifting equipment, place jack stands
under the machine to securely stabilize it before
working on, beside or under it during assembly.
5. Stay away from overhead power lines and
obstructions when lifting the machine during
assembly. Contact with power lines can cause
electrocution. Contact with obstructions can damage
components or cause them to fail.
6. Don’t handle heavy and/or bulky components alone,
ask for help.
7. Use properly sized tools, stands, jacks and hoists at
all times.
8.
Tighten all fasteners to their specified torque, then
recheck before using the machine
