TORQUE CHART

 

CAUTION

Read instructions before assembling. Bolts
should be finger tight until instructed to tighten
according to the torque chart. Use standard
methods and practices when attaching
snowplow including wearing safety glasses
during cutting, drilling and welding.

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.

 WARNING

Hydraulic oil under pressure could cause skin
injection injury.  If you are injured by hydraulic
oil, get medical attention immediately.

 

CAUTION

Do not mix different types of hydraulic fluid.
Some fluids are not compatible and may cause
performance problems and product damage.

BATTERY SAFETY

 

CAUTION

Always disconnect the battery before removing
or replacing electrical components such as a
motor relay or battery cable.

SAFETY

 CAUTION

Batteries normally produce explosive gases
which can cause personal injury.  Therefore, do
not allow flames, sparks or lit tobacco to come
near the battery.  When charging or working
near a battery, always cover your face and
protect your eyes, and also provide ventilation.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which burns skin,
eyes and clothing.

Disconnect the battery before removing or
replacing any electrical components.
