SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions.
Page 9
HENKE Snow Plows use ba lanced and matched system components for plows, carriers, and other components. These p arts are made and tested to HENKE specifications. Non-genuine or “will fit" parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of non-genu ine or “will fit” parts may reduce Snow Plow performance, void HENKE warranties, and present a safety hazard.
Page 10
SAFETY All Safety Sh ields, Guards and other Protective Safety devices sh ould be used and maintained in goo d working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components. NEVER REMOVE PROTECTIVE SHIELDS AND GUARDS! NEVER MODIFY OR CUT PROTECTIVE SHIELDS OR GUARDS! When shields or guards are removed to access areas for maintenance, they must be replaced and be in good condition before operating.
Page 11
SAFETY Prolonged operation of the Snow Plow ma y cause operator boredom and/or fatigue affecting the safe operation of the Snow Plow and Truck or Power unit. It is recommended that the op erator take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating conditions.
Page 12
SAFETY Always wear a seat belt while driving the equipment during operation and transport. Serious injury or even death could result fr om falling from the operator’s station or from being involved in a collision. (SNPO-05) Start the engines only when seated and belted in th e operator’s seat. Operate the equipment controls only while properly seated with th e seat belt secur ed around you.
Page 13
SAFETY Unplowed snow, piled ice and debris, and snow drifts left behind the equipment might pose a driving hazard to vehicle traffic colliding with the debris or losing traction on the material. It is r ecommended to post warning signs alerting driver’s of th e equipment operation presence and the need to reduce vehicle speed.
Page 14
SAFETY Extreme caution should be used by th e operator when operating near passersby. Stop snow plowing if a passerby comes within 25 feet of the plow to prevent possible passerby injury or death from being struck by the equipment or from a thrown object. (SNPO-31) Under certain conditions, the Snow Plow is capable of propelling objects up to 75 feet.

Page 17
SAFETY Never leave the Snow Plow unattended while the plow is in the raised position. Accidental operation of the lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause a sudden drop of the unit which could result in injury or death by crushing. If the plow must be raised for inspection or service securely block up and support the Plow to prevent it falling.
