DRIVING AND PLOWING ON SNOW
AND ICE
Refer to the vehicle owner's manual instructions for
driving in snow and ice conditions. Remember, when
you drive on snow or ice, your wheels will not get good
traction. You cannot accelerate as quickly, turning
is more di
ffi cult, and you will need longer braking
distance.
Wet and hard-packed snow or ice o ff ers the worst tire
traction. It is very easy to lose control. You will have
di
ffi culty accelerating. If you do get moving, you may
have poor steering and di ffi cult braking, which can
cause you to slide out of control.
Here are some tips for driving in these conditions:
• Drive defensively.
• Do not drink, and then drive or plow snow.
• Plow or drive only when you have good visibility
for operating a vehicle.
• If you cannot see well due to snow or icy
conditions, you will need to slow down.
• If you are tired, move indoors and rest.
• Keep your windshield and all glass on your vehicle
clean to see around you.
• Dress properly for the weather. Wear layers of
clothing. As you get warm, you can take o ff layers.
OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
TRANSPORTING THE SNOWPLOW
1. Completely raise the blade.
2. Adjust the blade height for maximum vehicle
headlamp illumination.
3. Adjust the blade to the straight position.
NOTE: Overheating is unlikely under normal
driving conditions, but occasionally the snowplow
may be positioned so that it de
fl ects air away from
the radiator. If this occurs, stop the vehicle and
raise, lower, or angle the snowplow slightly to
correct overheating.
NOTE: Only the driver should be in the vehicle
when the snowplow is attached.
WARNING
Position the blade so that it does not block
the vehicle headlamp beams.
Do not change blade position while traveling.
You could suddenly lower the blade
accidentally.
WARNING
Drinking then driving or plowing is very
dangerous. Your re
fl exes, perceptions,
attentiveness, and judgment can be a ff ected
by even a small amount of alcohol. You can
have a serious or even fatal collision if you
drive after drinking. Please do not drink and
then drive or plow.
