GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
KNOW YOUR PLOW
BEFORE YOU BEGIN , take time to fully read all instructions and safety information and familiarize yourself with your plow components before installing and operating your plow.
NOTICE
WARNING MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT AND CRUSHING HAZARD Failure to observe these instructions could lead to severe injury or death. • Always check lift mechanism, straps or winch rope integrity before plowing. Failure to do so may cause the plow to drop suddenly from the up position and impact a low-lying object, potentially ejecting the rider from the vehicle and causing serious injury or death. • Always be sure the latch lever handle is fully engaged before plowing. In some instances it may be necessary to push the handle to engage it into the plow base. Failure to properly engage the plow may result in loss of vehicle control which can lead to vehicle damage, personal injury, or even death. • Never exceed 5 MPH with plow installed. • Never operate the vehicle on side slopes greater than 10° with the plow installed. • Never operate this product if you are under 16 years of age. • Never operate this product when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications. • Never operate the plow near bystanders. • Never stand or ride on the plow. • Always ensure area to be plowed is clear of pedestrians and bystanders. • Never remove the hook from the end of the winch rope. The hook prevents the end of the winch rope from being pulled into the roller fairlead. Removal of the hook increases the chance that fingers or other extremities may be pulled into the roller fairlead causing personal injury. Leave the winch hook on and always follow safe winching techniques as described in the Winching Guide included with your winch. • Never winch with the rope outside of the roller fairlead. Doing so can result in severe vehicle damage and rope wear that can cause the winch rope to break suddenly and potentially cause destructive vehicle damage and major injury or death to riders and bystanders. Always route the rope through the roller fairlead before winching. Servicing Safety: • Always ensure vehicle is stable and secure. • Always lower plow completely for removal from vehicle. • Always stay clear of moving parts and cables. • Always keep others away when operating or adjusting plow. • Always use appropriate personal protection equipment when servicing, installing, or using product.
AVOID EQUIPMENT DAMAGE • Always refer to the Installation and Specification Guide, supplied in the winch kit, for all wiring schematics and specific details on how to wire this WARN product to your vehicle. • Always store the plow system in a dry place when not in use.
