OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
Hard-Packed Snow
1. On blades equipped with shoes, raise the
antiwear shoes so that the cutting edge
comes into direct contact with the pavement.
DO NOT
stack spare spacers on top of
shoe holder.
2. Use lowest gear to place maximum power
behind cutting edge.
3. An angled blade is more effective for removing
hard-packed snow.
Deep Snow
1. For straight blades, shear off top layers by
plowing with the blade raised 3 to 4 inches for
the initial pass. For XtremeV™ blades, move
the blade into the fully retracted (vee) position
and make an initial pass.
2. Bite into the edges using only partial blade
width until job is cut down to size for full blade
plowing.
Rule of thumb:
6" of snow — plow with entire blade width;
9" of snow — plow with 3/4 blade width;
12" of snow — plow with 1/2 of the blade.
For XLS™ blades in scoop position, plow all
depths with entire blade width.
Experience and "feel" are the best guides.
3. When plowing deep snow, be sure to keep
vehicle moving.
4. Ballast is suggested for maximum traction.
Secure ballast behind the rear wheels. Do not
exceed vehicle's GVWR and GAWR.
5. For increased traction use tire chains where legal.
