A) Turn on the Main Power Switch 15-20 minutes prior
to plowing. This puts the laser module in “preheat”
to get the laser up to operating temperature. The
laser status light (green light above laser mode
switch) will slow-blink until the system is warmed
up, and then on steady when the laser is activated.
B) Turn on the Deicer Switch right after you turn on
the main power switch. Leave this switch on for the
entire shift. This switch activates both the anti-ice
heater on the front of the laser module as well as
the pneumatic air blast module for snow removal
from the front lens.

Do a visual check of the laser housing. If the front of
the unit is packed with snow and ice, wipe it off. It is
not unlike your windshield: if it’s covered with snow
and ice, you cannot see through it. The same is true
for the laser: if the output lens is not clear, the laser
will not go through (see through) it.

The GL3000PMC-E laser spot puts your trailing edge
location ahead of you and shows you what you will
hit if you do not take action. It virtually eliminates
continually looking in the rearview mirror for trailing
edge location.
• The mirror shows what you just hit.
• The laser shows you what you will hit!
It cuts down on strikes and damage dramatically
because it gives you a heads-up about where your plow
trailing edge will be ahead of time.

The laser is effective at letting you know your plow
location and whether or not you will clear an object
on long shallow curves and straight runs. When go-
ing around corners, it will not work for you, but once
around the corner it sets you up for your run relative to
guard rail, bridge curb lip, abutments, mailboxes, etc.

The laser spot reference ahead of you is more visible or
less visible depending on conditions. If it is bright and
sunny, and you’re plowing slush, you probably will not
see the laser spot, as water sucks out the color. Gen-
erally speaking, the worse the visibility and driving
conditions are, the better it works for you, and that, of
course, is when you need it the most.

Laser Enhancement Glasses (part number 3000-0435)
block out glare and increase laser spot visibility for the
driver in daylight operations.
