SAFETY
AVOID ACCIDENTS
Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm, at home, or on
the highway, are caused by the failure of some individual to follow simple
and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason, most accidents
can be prevented by recognizing the real cause and doing something about
it before the accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of any type of
equipment, there are many conditions that cannot be completely
safeguarded against without interfering with reasonable accessibility and
efficient operation.
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN
ACCIDENT. THE COMPLETE OBSERVANCE OF ONE SIMPLE
RULE WOULD PREVENT MANY THOUSAND SERIOUS INJURIES
EACH YEAR. THAT RULE IS:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL OR ADJUST A
MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION.

SAFETY DECALS
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep safety decals and signs clean and legible at all times.
2. Replace safety decals and signs that are missing or have become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
4. Safety decals or signs are available from your dealer's Parts Department or our Cedar Rapids factory.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean Surface
Wash the installation surface with a synthetic, free-rinsing detergent.
with a soap containing creams or lotion. Allow to dry.
Avoid washing the surface
2. Position Safety Decal
Decide on the exact position before application. Application marks may be made on the top or side
edge of the substrate with a lead pencil, marking pen, or small pieces of masking tape. NOTE: Do
not use chalk line, china marker, or grease pencil. Safety decals will not adhere to these.
3. Remove the Liner
A small bend at the corner or edge will cause the liner to separate from the decal. Pull the liner
away in a continuous motion at a 180-degree angle. If the liner is scored, bend at score and
remove.
4. Apply Safety Decal
a. Tack decal in place with thumb pressure in upper corners.
b. Using firm initial squeegee pressure, begin at the center of the decal and work outward in all
directions with overlapping strokes. NOTE: Keep squeegee blade even—nicked edges will
leave application bubbles.
c. Pull up tack points before squeegeeing over them to avoid wrinkles.
5. Remove Pre-mask
If safety decal has a pre-mask cover remove it at this time by pulling it away from the decal at a 180
degree angle. NOTE: It is important that the pre-mask covering is removed before the decal is
exposed to sunlight to avoid the pre-mask from permanently adhering to the decal.
6. Remove Air Pockets
Inspect the decal in the flat areas for bubbles. To eliminate the bubbles, puncture the decal at one
end of the bubble with a pin (never a razor blade) and press out entrapped air with thumb moving
toward the puncture.
7. Re-Squeegee All Edges.

7. If repairs require use of a torch or electric welder, be
sure that all flammable and combustible materials are
removed. DO NOT weld or flame cut on any part
containing oil, gasoline or their fumes or other
flammable material, or any container whose contents
or previous contents are unknown.
8. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher readily
available at all times. It should be a Type ABC or a
Type BC unit.
9. Cleaning solvents should be used with care.
Petroleum based solvents are flammable and
present a fire hazard. Don’t use gasoline. All
solvents must be used with adequate ventilation, as
their vapors should not be inhaled.
10. Hydraulic fluid under high pressure leaking from a
pin hole are dangerous as they can penetrate the
skin as though injected with a hypodermic needle.
Such liquids have a poisonous effect and can cause
serious wounds. Get medical assistance if such a
wound occurs. To check for such leaks, use a piece
of cardboard or wood instead of your hand. The
fine spray from a small hydraulic oil leak can be
highly explosive—DO NOT SMOKE—STAY

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RPME:
Reversible Poly Medium Duty Trip Edge
The hitch is designed with a collapsible lift arm, removable front frame and a tilt feature for forward
tilting hoods.
Poly moldboard is 3/8” (.48 cm) thick and backed with a steel framework and reinforcing ribs to avoid
corrosion zones. Polyethylene provides lower friction, which improves material flow and reduces time,
fuel and horsepower.
The trip edge is designed to trigger upon contact with an obstacle, then reset to continue to move snow.
The trip mechanism features heavy-duty construction with adjustable 1/2” horizontal torsion springs.
Hydraulic cylinders reverse the plow for right- or left-hand discharge of snow.
This product is intended for commercial use only.

STORAGE
Figure 3 – Truck Hitch
Figure 4 – Storage
Fully retract lift cylinder and remove Pin A (Figure 3) from lift arm. Raise the lift arm and rotate the
cylinder up to the hitch. Lower lift arm to the storage position as shown in Figure 4. Secure with Link
and Pin B. Secure the cylinder in the storage position using Pin A.
CAUTION
Make sure the lift arm is supported before removing Pin A. Otherwise, the
lift arm will drop when the pin is removed, causing damage or injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pull the plow lift lever to raise the plow, push the plow lift lever to lower the plow. When the lever is
released, the valve will return to a neutral hold position and the plow will remain in that position. Some
lift cylinders have a detent or (float) position on the lower (down) position.
Hold the lever in the down position until the plow has found its lowest level, then release the lever.
This allows the plow to properly follow the contour of the plowing surface. If the truck is equipped
with a four-position plow lift valve with a detent in the down position, the plow will naturally find its
lowest level to follow the contour of the plowing surface.
NOTICE!
When lowering plow during snow plowing operation, make sure plow will
not drop instantly. A restrictor must be installed in the hydraulic line to the
lift cylinder or the plow may lower too fast. Be sure the restriction to flow is
in the down hydraulic circuit only.
