Operating the Plow Safely
The vehicle the plow is attached to is a heavy, high-powered machine. You must operate the vehicle safely. Unsafe operation can
create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area. Always take the following precautions when using
this vehicle and Plow:
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and
themselves.
Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from your work area at all times. Stop and shut off the vehicle engine when another
person or pet approaches.
Remember – always exercise safety, courtesy, and common sense.
Avoid overloading your equipment - push only enough snow with each pass to get the job done.
When transporting blade, secure it to hanger brackets with pins or locks.
Do not exceed 65 MPH when transporting plow.
Do not exceed 10 MPH when plowing.
Never pile snow on someone else’s property, on street or sidewalks, by fire hydrants, mailboxes, water drains or electrical
boxes.
Check with local regulations before pushing snow across roads-it may be illegal.
Do not pile snow near handicapped or parking areas.
Plow snow during low-traffic hours - be cautious of pedestrians and vehicles.
Never pile snow where it obstructs visibility of traffic.

Operating the Plow Safely (continued)
Use lowest transmission gear, on 4WD select low range if equipped.
On manual transmission avoid riding the clutch.
Be aware of engine temperature - avoid overheating.
When backing up don’t rely on rear view mirrors-turn around and look where you are going.
Never plow with your head out of the window-an unexpected sudden stop could result in personal injury.
Always wear your seat belt-even when plowing snow.
Follow vehicle manufacturers specifications for snowplowing.
Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the equipment in good operating condition.
When pushing snow onto a pile, always do so with blade in the straightforward position. Piling snow with blade angled may
cause damage to plow or vehicle components.
Use caution when plowing next to a building wall. Make first pass about 3 feet away, make second pass about 2 feet away and
third pass about 1 foot away.
Safety for Children and Pets
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the
machine and the plowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these
precautions:
Keep children and pets out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
Be alert and turn the vehicle off if children or pets enter the work area.
Never allow children to operate the REDI-PLOW.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.
