CAUTION: READ BEFORE YOU PLOW

 ALWAYS check that the hitch pins pass through the appropriate holes in the mounting forks. IF THE

PLOW IS INCORRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE MOUNTS, IT WILL PULL AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND FALL

OFF.

 Not for commercial use.

 Lights are recommended if plowing at night.

 Do not plow at speeds above 10 mph (16 km/hr) as this may cause your engine to overheat.

 Do not drive on public roadways with plow attached.

 Install safety chain when transporting plow in raised position.

 Avoid all obstacles - be familiar with the terrain.

 For best results plow every 3 to 6 inches of snowfall.

 Keep hands and feet clear of blade and winch/actuator.
