SNOW PLOWING OPEN AREAS
Open areas such as parking lots require a more serious
approach to planning, where to begin, and where snow can be
stacked at the edges. The following will help in making a plan,
thus turning out a neat, professional job.
Always turn on warning flashers and/or use yellow warning
beacon or strobe light when plowing. Then make a single
pass down the center on the longest dimension. Angle plow
the snow toward the long sides with continuous passes until
the area is cleared and snow is all stacked around the outside
edges.
For larger areas, efficient plowing calls for clearing area
immediately in front of buildings and working away from
buildings toward the outer limits of the area. When snow is
quite deep, it might be necessary to push the excess into
piles out of main traffic lanes for later handling. Areas 100,000
sq.ft. or more -- once the main artery is clear, it is usually
most efficient to plow at right angles to the artery, piling up
windrows by back and forth passes in alternate lanes. The
windrows can later be pushed out of the way or left as is
depending upon conditions.
To clean up remaining snow, you can put the blade in the
straight position. Buck piles from either side to stack snow.
The blade will automatically “ride” up the pile to make
stacking easier.
Snow Plowing Tips from the Pros
On a dirt or slag surface, drop moldboard to ground in straight
position, then raise one inch or adjust runners for desired
clearance. Under extreme surface conditions it may be
necessary to plow with moldboard in suspended position.
PARKING LOTS
1. Always turn on warning flashers and/or use yellow warning
beacon or strobe light when plowing.
2. Make first pass to clear area into which you will later push
more snow.
3. Clear front in straight position and clean up remaining
snow. Buck piles from either side to stack snow. Blade will
automatically “ride” up pile to aid in stacking.
