Operating the Plow Safely (continued)

Safety for Children and Pets

A Note to All Users

No list of warnings and cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur that are not covered by this manual, the operator must
apply common sense and operate this REDI-PLOW in a safe manner. Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call 1-800-DR-OWNER
(376-9637) for assistance.

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.

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.
