SAFETY
Allow passengers only in si tuations where their presence is involved in th e operation

presence distracts from the safe op eration or transport of the equipment. Pa ssengers
must be seated securely and belted in the cab’s passenger seat. Never allow any person
to ride on any other location of the Truck, Power Unit or Snow Plow during operation or
transport.
(SNPO-30)
Extreme caution should be used by th e operator when operating near passersby. Stop
snow plowing if a passerby comes within 25 feet of the plow to prevent possible passerby
injury or death from being struck by the equipment or from a thrown object.
(SNPO-31)
Under certain conditions, the Snow Plow is capable of propelling objects up to 75 feet. Be
extremely careful when plowing at higher speeds and hitting large dense objects, such as
rocks, chucks of frozen ice, metal objects, broken glass, or other solid objects that might
become propelled and cause bodily injury to passersby or damage to property such as
windows and vehicles.
(SNPO-32)
Make sure that no byst ander, animal or obstruction such as a vehicle, building, or

Snow Plow is not driven into the path of pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Serious injury
or death and property damage could result from running into, being crushed by, or
run over by a Snow Plow.
