Tips on Plowing Snow

 

 

 

Know the area you are plowing, hidden obstructions such as curbs, sidewalks, pipes, etc. can cause 
damage to your plow or vehicle. 

 

 

Do not let the snow accumulate; always plow with the storm. 

 

 

Always wear your seatbelt when plowing snow. 

 

 

Always lower the blade when parking your vehicle.  This reduces the load on your vehicle

s hydraulic 

system and guards against any potential mishap caused by a falling plow. 

 

 

Always remember to plow at a safe speed.  The faster you plow the harder you will hit hidden 
obstructions. 

 

 

Do not get body parts between or under the plow and vehicle when servicing or operating the plow. 

 

 

When transporting, position plow so as not to block vision. 

 

 

Do not change blade position while traveling. 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 1. 

Proper Plowing Orientation 

G10653 

 

 

Maintain bucket and hitch orientation shown in Figure 1. Wing positions will vary with terrain. Starting 
with the slip hitch in the middle of the slot will allow the plow to float and better follow the contours of 
the ground. 

 

 

If plow orientation is incorrect, chattering or insufficient contact may result.
