•
If you have a manual transmission, avoid riding
the clutch while plowing.
•
Change the transmission fluid before and during
the plowing season. If the fluid has a burnt smell,
change the fluid as soon as possible.
•
You can install an inline transmission heat gauge
to monitor the temperature in your transmission. If
it reaches 121°C (250°F), let the vehicle idle until
the fluid cools.
Plowing Parking Lots
•
Make sure you know where the customer wants
you to pile the snow.
•
Use caution when plowing next to curbs.
•
If a significant amount of snow is expected,
plow during the storm rather than letting snow
accumulate.
•
Keep water drains and catch basins clear at all
times.
•
Do not stack snow by the road and block the
visibility of vehicles coming or leaving the parking
lot.
•
Use caution when plowing next to parked cars.
•
When plowing snow that is next to a building,
move snow away from the building.
•
If you are responsible for clearing sidewalks,
shovel them first so that you can plow the snow
away.
•
Plow areas in front of buildings and overhead
doors first.
•
Move the snowbanks back far enough to
accommodate future snowfalls.
•
After moving snow away from a building, start
plowing the lot. Begin by making a pass down the
center of the lot, and then move snow in windrows
to the outer edges. If there has been a significant
amount of snowfall, move as much bulk off the lot
as possible, then go over it again. In large lots,
it may be best to break your plowing down into
smaller areas.
•
Do not pile snow in the middle of the lot. It will be
difficult to remove later.
•
Do not pile snow near handicapped parking areas.
•
Plow in straight lines whenever possible, and
move snow to the outer edges of the lot. Keep the
wind direction in mind and pile snow downwind
to minimize drifting.
•
Plow snow during low-traffic hours, and always be
cautious of cars and people in the lot.
•
Once the majority of snow is removed from the
lot, start the cleanup work. Begin by plowing next
to curbs. Be sure to square off corners where
possible, and don’t leave trails of snow behind.
Operating Tips
When plowing wet snow, plow until the job is complete.
Wet snow left in windrows overnight can freeze and
turn into tank traps.
After Operation
•
Lower the blade to the ground and turn off the plow
controller when you have finished plowing.
•
After plowing, let the vehicle idle for at least 10
minutes to allow the transmission fluid time to cool.
