SCRAPING HARDPACK AND ICE
The Sectional Sno-Pusher™ is the only pusher on the
market that gives you the ability to aggressively tackle
more demanding snow removal jobs. The ability to roll
the pusher forward offers the aggressive force needed to
tackle the most difficult hardpack snow and ice. By rolling
the pusher forward slightly, operators can effortlessly get
under hardpack snow and ice and clear it away – straight
down to the pavement surface. In doing so, Arctic’s
Sectional Sno-Pusher™ significantly reduces salt usage.
1. Start by leveling the pusher out with the pavement.
2. Then tilt the pusher down towards the ground to create down force on
the pusher. This allows the pusher to scrape harder. Do not add too much
down force to the pusher as it will lift the front end of the machine too
much and the front tires will lose contact with the ground.
3. Use the triangle shaped guides on the top of the side panels. These
guides cannot be seen from the machine’s cab when the moldboards
are relaxed and in their normal operating angle, but will become more
exposed to the operator, the further they tilt the moldboards. Please
see the instructional video for an understanding and illustration of the
triangle cutout guides.
4. When you are done with the patch of ice in question, it is recommended
that you bring the pusher back to the neutral position (“relax the
moldboards”). In the neutral position, the Arctic can clear most
hardpack snow and ice and is, of course, its optimal position for overall
performance. Adding the variable down pressure to the edges is certainly
recommended where needed, but continual use will cause excessive
wear to the cutting edges and other components.
Note:
Please understand that doing this process will indeed increase the wear and tear
of the cutting edges and other components.
