This is a safety alert symbol. It alerts
an operator to information concern-
ing personal safety. Always observe
and heed these symbols and instructions,
otherwise death or serious injury can result.
Operator safety is a principle concern in equip-
ment design and distribution. However, many
accidents occur because a few seconds of
thought, and a more careful approach to han-
dling, were ignored.
Accidents can be avoided by knowing and fol-
lowing the precautions cited in this manual.
GENERAL SAFETY
1.
Read this manual thoroughly. Make sure
the operator understands it and knows
how to operate this equipment safely. This
equipment can kill or injure an untrained or
careless operator and bystanders. If you
sell this equipment, ensure the new owner
acknowledges receipt of this manual.
2.
This plow is intended for plowing snow
only. Plowing gravel, rocks, etc., or using
the plow for any purpose other than plowing
snow could result in harm to the operator or
bystanders or cause damage to the plow or
vehicle.
3.
Do not service or otherwise handle a plow
in the raised position unless it is securely
blocked against unexpected falling.
4.
Do not attempt to handle or service this
equipment, and direct others to do the
same, unless you know how to do it safely
and have the proper tools for the job.
5.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from moving parts.
6.
Do not alter the equipment.
SAFETY
1.
Discipline yourself to visually check for
worn, damaged or cracked parts before
starting use. Replace these with genuine
Hiniker parts.
2.
Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
Do not use your hand to check for leaks.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard to find
suspected leaks.
Tighten all connections before pressurizing
hydraulic lines.
If fluid is injected into the skin, get medical
attention immediately to prevent serious in-
fection.
3.
Check all controls and operating functions
of the machine in a safe area before start-
ing to work.

erator, before starting, actuating hydraulics
or operating this equipment.

speeds.
4.
Avoid hitting objects that will damage your
plow or truck.
5.
Set the brakes and stop the truck's engine
before adjusting or servicing your plow.
