OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
General Instructions
1. Before plowing, make sure that you know of
any obstructions hidden beneath the snow
such as bumper stops in parking lots, curbs,
sidewalk edges, shrubs, fences, or pipes
sticking up from the ground. If unfamiliar with
the area to be plowed, have someone familiar
with the area point out obstacles.
2. If possible and you have good visibility, plow
during the storm rather than letting snow
accumulate.
3. Do not exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) when
plowing snow.
4. When you are stacking snow, begin raising
the blade as you come close to the stack. This
will let the blade ride up the stack.
Hard-Packed Snow
1. Raise the anti‑wear shoes so that the cutting
edge comes into direct contact with the
pavement.
2. Use the lowest gear to place maximum power
behind the cutting edge.
3.
An angled blade is more effective for removing
hard‑packed snow.
Deep Snow
1. For SPEEDWING™ and straight blades, shear
off top layers by plowing with the blade raised
3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) for the initial pass.
2. For HDV™ and POWER PLOW™ blades,
move the blade to the "COMPACT" position
and make an initial pass.
