OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW

•

If you are tired, pull off in a safe place and rest.

• Keep your windshield and all glass on your

vehicle clean to see around you.

• Dress properly for the weather. Wear layers

of clothing. As you get warm you can take off

layers.

CAUTION

Wear a seat belt when plowing snow.

Hidden obstructions could cause the

vehicle to stop suddenly, resulting in

personal injury.

CAUTION

Flag any obstructions that are hard to

locate under snow, to prevent damage to

product or property.
