Always block up the V-blade securely when adjusting the skid shoes.
•
Operator's should be familiar with the area they are clearing and make preparations ahead of time. Place
guide stakes appropriately and remove stones, markers, or other debris that may be hidden after a snow-
fall. Curbs, offsets, steps, man hole covers, broken or raised pavement, etc. should be noted. Operators
should map areas to be cleared before the winter season so they can review potential hazards prior to
clearing snow in the area.
•
If an area is to be cleared that is unfamiliar to the operator, travel slowly and use extreme caution. Inquire
of anyone who might know of potential hazards.
•
Never travel at speeds that would cause injury to the operator or damage to the machine if the machine
were to be stopped suddenly by an unseen, immovable object.
•
Always operate the blade with the safety trip mechanism in the unlocked position, unless digging in dirt at
very low speeds.
•
Ensure that there are no objects between the back of the blade wings and the power unit. When the wings
are folded or swept back, objects may be crushed between blade wing and power unit.
•
The operator should never proceed if visibility is poor. If the power unit is equipped with a cab, the wind-
shield must be kept clean.
•
Use caution when operating around objects that can obstruct your vision.
•
The attachment hydraulic system may contain stored energy. Before performing maintenance or repairs
on the hydraulic system, the attachment's auxiliary hydraulic hoses must be disconnected from the power
unit. Lower the attachment to the ground, shut off the power unit's engine, move the secondary SDLA lever
left and right to relieve auxiliary hydraulic pressure, and disconnect the auxiliary hydraulic quick couplers.
