Safety Precautions - Blizzard 680LT Installation Instructions & Owner's Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Improper installation and operation could cause
personal injury, and/or equipment and property
damage. Read and understand labels and the
Owner's Manual before installing, operating or making
adjustments.
WARNING
Lower blade when vehicle is parked.
Temperature changes could change
hydraulic pressure, causing the blade to
drop unexpectedly or damaging hydraulic
components. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING
You can die or be seriously injured. Keep
hands and feet away from hitch mechanism
and snowplow blade when operating the
POWER HITCH™ arm. The action of the arm
moves the snowplow toward the vehicle and
into position for proper attachment.
WARNING
The driver shall keep bystanders clear of
the blade when it is being raised, lowered or
angled. Do not stand between the vehicle and
the blade or within 8 feet of a moving blade. A
moving or falling blade could cause personal
injury.
WARNING
Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR including the
blade and ballast. The rating label is found on
the driver-side vehicle door cornerpost.
WARNING
To prevent accidental movement of the
blade, always turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF
whenever the snowplow is not in use. The
control indicator light (touchpad only) will
turn off.
WARNING
Remove blade assembly before placing
vehicle on hoist.
Lit. No. B64118, Rev. 03

HYDRAULIC SAFETY
Hydraulic fl uid under pressure can cause skin
injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic
fl uid, get medical attention immediately.
• 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.
FUSES
The snowplow electrical and hydraulic systems
contain several blade-style automotive fuses. If
a problem should occur and fuse replacement is
necessary, the replacement fuse must be of the same
type and amperage rating as the original. Installing a
fuse with a higher rating can damage the system and
could start a fi re. Fuse Replacement, including fuse
ratings and locations, is located in the Maintenance
Section of this Owner's Manual.
