SAFETY

Prolonged operation of the Snow Plow ma y cause operator boredom and/or fatigue

affecting the safe operation of the Snow Plow and Truck or Power unit. It is recommended

that the operator take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired

operating conditions. If p ossible, completely shut down th e Equipment, exit the cab and

move around stretching your arms and legs. Never operate the Equipment in a fatigued or

bored mental state that impairs proper and safe Equipment operation.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!

Equipment operation can o ften

be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss. We

recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in

the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over a n

extended period of time wil l cause severe hearing loss. N oise

over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an e xtended period of

time will cause permanent or tot al hearing loss. Note: Hearing
loss from loud noise [from sweepers, chain saws, radios, and
other such sources close to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime
without hope of natural recovery.

(SNPD-6)

Prolonged operation of the Equipment in cold weather may cause operator hypothermia

affecting the safe operation of the Snow Plow and Truck or Power unit. It is recommended

that the operator wear appropriate clothing take scheduled work breaks to help prevent

these potentially impaired operating conditions. If pos sible, completely shut down the

Equipment, exit the cab and warm the body in a properly heated area. Never operate the

Equipment in a fa tigued or impaired mental state that effects the proper and safe

Equipment operation.

(SNPD-8)

Use both hands for support when getting on and off the truck or power unit. Use handles

and steps on the equipment for support when boarding. Never use the Truck or Snow Plow

control levers for support when boarding the equipment.

(SNPO-01)

Use available truck or power unit handles and steps to exit th e operator’s station. Make

sure you have solid footing before stepping down. Be car eful of your step and use extra

caution when mud, ice, snow, or other matter has accumulated on the steps or handrails.

Never rush to exit or jump off the truck or power unit.

(SNPO-02)

Do not attempt to mount the Truck or Power Unit while the machine is moving.

Never attempt to mount a run away Snow Plow. Serious injury or death m ay

occur from being run over by a moving Truck, Power Unit, or Snow Plow.

(SNPO-03)

BEFORE leaving the operator’s seat, always engage the parking brake and/or set the

Truck’s or Power Unit’s transmission in the park position, stop the engine, remove the key,

and wait for all moving parts to stop. Never dismount a Truck or Power Unit that is moving

or while the engines are running. Operate the equipment controls from the Operator’s
