A RPME 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. NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL Please Give Part No., Description and Unit Serial No. 7 89766-C Page Rev. A RPME 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.

Maintenance includes all lubrication, inspection, adjustments (other than operational control adjustments) part replacement, repairs and such upkeep tasks as cleaning and painting. 2. When performing any maintenance work, wear proper protective equipment—always wear eye protection—safety shoes can help save your toes—gloves will help protect your hands against cuts, bruises, abrasions and from minor burns—a hard hat is better than a sore head! 3. Use proper tools for the job required. Use of improper tools (such as a screwdriver instead of a pry bar, a pair of pliers instead of a wrench, a wrench instead of a hammer) not only can damage the equipment being worked on, but can lead to serious injuries. USE THE PROPER TOOLS. 4. When guards and covers are removed for any maintenance, be sure that such guards are reinstalled before unit is put back into operation. 5. Check all screws, bolts and nuts for proper torques before placing equipment back in service. Refer to torque chart in this manual. 6. Some parts and assemblies are quite heavy. Before attempting to unfasten any heavy part or assembly, arrange to support it by means of a hoist, by blocking or by use of an adequate arrangement to prevent it from falling, tipping, swinging or moving in any manner which may damage it or injure someone. Always use lifting device that is properly rated to lift the equipment. NEVER LIFT EQUIPMENT OVER PEOPLE. Please Give Part No., Description and Unit Serial No. 12 89766-C Page Rev. A RPME GENERAL SAFETY RULES Maintenance Section 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 AWAY FROM FLAME OR SPARKS. Please Give Part No., Description and Unit Serial No. 13 89766-C Page Rev.

A RPME TRUCK HITCH INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED 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. Please Give Part No., Description and Unit Serial No. 18 89766-C Page Rev.
