PERSONAL SAFETY

Wear only snug-fitting 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

Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine,
radiator, hoses and exhaust pipes.

Always have a fire extinguisher rated BC handy,
for flammable liquids and electrical fires.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline to
clean parts. Store only in approved containers away
from sources of heat or flame.

Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR including blade
and ballast. The rating label is found on driver-
