PRESEASON CHECK
Before the snow season, check your equipment to
make sure that it is in working condition. Here are
some tips for getting your equipment ready:
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Lower the blade when the vehicle is
parked. Keep 8' (2.4 m) clear of the blade.
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.
• Clean and tighten all electrical connections
and coat with dielectric grease to prevent
corrosion.
• Check hydraulic system for leaks and cracked
or damaged hoses.
•
Drain hydraulic system and refill with
recommended hydraulic fluid. For hydraulic
fluid type and filling instructions, see "Annual
Fluid Change" under "Hydraulic System" in
this section of the manual.
• Replace worn or damaged parts.
• Check all mounting points and tighten
fasteners on both snowplow and vehicle.
Verify that all cotter pins are in place.
• Repaint blade assembly and attachments, as
necessary, to protect the metal.
•
Install auxiliary and flashing lights for
compliance and visibility in accordance with
local regulations.
