Operator Presence System:
Refer to you owner’s manual for the VT389H tractor and
be sure to check that the operator presence and interlock
systems are working properly before every use. If your
Tractor does not function as described, repair the
problem immediately.
The Control Levers must be in the neutral position in
order for the machine to start. If the controls are not
exactly at neutral the unit will not start.
The snow plow does not require a PTO shaft, activating
the PTO control switch with the plow attached should
have no effects and the PTO clutch should not activate.
Tires:
Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (SEE VT389H
operators manual SPECIFICATIONS section).
Keep tires free of gasoline, oil or insect control chemicals
which can harm rubber.
Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other
hazards that may cause tire damage.
If operating in an area with thorns, it is recommended to
fill the tires with sealant.
Driving & Transport on Public Roads:
Check applicable road traffic regulations before driving
and transporting on public roads.
If the machine is transported, you should always use
adequate fastening equipment such as chains and or
nylon ratchet straps and ensure that the machine is well
anchored to the towing vehicle or trailer.
The plow attachment should also be lowered to the
lowest position and the parking brake engaged during
transport.
Plow Maintenance:
Keep all hardware tightened securely.
Thoroughly clean the plow attachment to remove
debris build up, especially if used in an area where ice-
melt salts have been used to prevent corrosion and
rust.
Grease the Pivot Tube using a good quality trailer
bearing grease to prevent corrosion and reduce wear.
Rotate or replace the plow edge as needed to prevent
damage to the plow frame.

1 – Service more often when operating in wet, dirty or dusty conditions.
2 – Clean off more frequent when operating in corrosive conditions.
Starting:
Refer to the VT389H owner’s manual for complete
instructions.
Before starting the tractor, be sure the area is clear of any
people or animals.
Control handles must be in the neutral lockout position.
PTO switch must be in the disengaged position
(pushed down).
Turn ignition key until engine starts. If the engine
struggles to start, engage the choke until the engine
fires, then disengage the choke when the engine
warms up.
Once started, increase the engine RPM to desired speed.
Before Operating the Plow
Before operating this plow attachment make sure you are
familiar and comfortable with the tractor controls and
operation and have read the tractor owner’s manual.
Make sure there are no bystanders in the area.
It is recommended to first drive around in a clear level
area to become familiar with the operation and feel of the
machine. This machine is heavy and will effect
maneuvering at different speeds.
The correct ground speed for plowing depends on the
terrain conditions and material density. Traveling too fast
can cause a loss of control and traction.
Always be aware of your surroundings while operating
the plow.
Inspect the work area before operating to make sure
there are no hidden obstacles.
A running engine gives off carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that can
kill you. Do not operate the engine in
an enclosed area. Only operate in a
well ventilated area.
