Importance of Safety Cont’d
Fire Prevention Safety
• All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant
mixtures are flammable. Flammable fluids that
are leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto
electrical components can cause a fire.
Transporting Safety
• Comply with state and local laws governing
highway safety and movement of machinery
on public roads.
• Check local laws for all highway lighting and
marking requirements.
• Always yield to oncoming traffic and move to
the side of the road so any following traffic may
pass.
• Never allow riders on either machine or
equipment.
• If transporting the attachment on a truck or
trailer, make sure it is properly secured to the
transport vehicle.
Hydraulic Safety
• Always disconnect hydraulic connections
between the machine and the QuattroPlow
before performing maintenance to the
QuattroPlow.
• Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or
diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial
nonflammable solvents.
• Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for
damage and leakage. Never use open flame or
bare skin to check for leaks. Hydraulic tubes
and hoses must be properly routed and have
adequate support and secure clamps. Tighten
or replace any parts that show leakage.
Leaking fluids under pressure can enter the
skin and cause serious injury or death.
Immediate medical attention is required.
Wear goggles. Use cardboard to check for
leaks.
