4.5 Hazardous Materials Placards
Overview
Hazardous materials placards may have been provided with your machine.
Transport Canada, and the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act,
require that these hazardous materials placards be permanently applied to certain
machines if they are to be transported or towed on Canadian roads.
Contact Transport Canada if you have questions about driver’s licensing
requirements for transporting machines that bear hazardous materials placard, or
questions about other restrictions for use of this machine
Note: The owner/operator of this machine is responsible for applying the placards.
Use the procedure described below.

■ Placard mounting surfaces and surrounding ambient temperature should be
at least 10°C (50°F). In colder conditions, see application step 2 below.
■ Mild soap or detergent
■ Fresh, clean, warm water supply
■ Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, lacquer thinner, or mineral spirits

Placards
Four placards have been provided with this machine—one for each side, one for
the front, and one for the back.
To apply the placards, do the following.
1. Clean the placard mounting surfaces with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly.
2. Use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to clean the placard mounting surfaces if:
■ they, and the surrounding ambient temperature, are below 10°C (50°F)
■ the placard mounting surfaces are covered with grease and oil.
3. Peel about 2 cm (1 in.) of backing paper from the top of the placard. Fold the
backing paper away from the placard.
4. Apply the top of the placard to the mounting surface. Gradually remove the
backing paper and apply the remainder of the placard. Firmly press and smooth
the placard into place with a plastic squeegee, stiff cardboard, or a soft cloth.
Puncture any air bubbles that may form.
