7. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Gas or diesel powered equipment can often be noisy
enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss. We
recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-
time basis. Noise over 85dB on a long-term basis can
cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent
to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause
permanent, total hearing loss.
8. When not attached to the power unit, secure the unit
to prevent movement.
1. NEVER allow helpers or bystanders under or near the
snow blade.
2. Make sure that the snow blade is fastened securely to
the power unit before moving.
3. Inspect all fastening devices, do not use if worn or
damaged.
4. Make sure that everyone is clear before moving the
snow blade. NEVER position yourself between the
power unit and the snow blade.
5. Do not permit riders while using this snow blade.
6. Where possible, avoid operating near ditches,
embankments and holes.
7. Snow clearing speed is dependent upon many
factors which includes but is not limited to: visibility,
obstructions and surface condition. Never exceed 15
km/h (10 mph) while clearing snow. Serious personal
injury can result from clearing at excessive speeds if
an obstruction is encountered.
8. Travelling between job sites, do not exceed 40 km/h
(25 mph). Ensure slow-moving-vehicle (SMV) emblem
has been properly installed at rear of power unit.
9. Avoid distractions and pay attention to the job at hand:
wait until it is safe to operate mobile communication
equipment such as cell phones, text messaging
devices, pagers, or two-way radios.
10. Always wear the seat belt, if equipped, when clearing
snow. Sudden contact with a hidden object can result
in serious personal injury.
11. Inspect areas to be cleared before snowfall for
potential hazards, and mark obstructions with stakes
that will be seen when snow covers the ground.
12. Always lower the snow blade to the ground when not
in use.
13. When moving in reverse, turn and look behind you
instead of relying on vehicle mirrors.
14. When exiting or entering your power unit, use caution,
the entry area may be slippery from snow and ice
buildup.

1. Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2. Before applying pressure to the system, inspect
for leaks at all components, and that lines, hoses ,
connections and couplings are not damaged and leak
free.
3. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system operates
under extremely high pressure. Such repairs will
fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
4. Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching
for a high pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece of
wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to
isolate and identify a leak.
5. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from
6. Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before
maintaining or working on system.
7. All hydraulic work must be done by
personnel.
Not all work spaces are the same, but the principles
presented here can be applied to any work space.
Survey the work site, remove debris and make note of
nearby or overhead obstructions, knowing your work area
will make the clearing job easier and safer.
Where possible, avoid operating near ditches,
embankments and holes.
For worker safety a preseason site visit is recommended.
Make a site clearing plan to identify hidden obstacles,
structures and piling areas. Sudden impact from obstacles
hidden under the snow may cause injury.
Be aware of:
Bystanders or any one not directly involved with the
work are only allowed outside of the work area, minimized
hazards.
Workers helping the operator must wear the appropriate
PPE and must always make eye contact with the operator
before entering the work area. Unauthorized Workers or
bystanders are not allowed in the work area. Hazards are
present.
Operator, do not operate the snow blade outside of the
operator area.
1. Good maintenance is your responsibility, follow the
maintenance schedule. Poor maintenance is an
invitation to trouble.
2. Follow good shop practices.
• Keep service area clean and dry.
• Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
3. Never work under or around the snow blade unless it
