PLOWING SNOW
NOTE: Only the driver should be in the vehicle
when the snowplow is attached.
CAUTION
Never stack snow with the blade angled. This
could damage the snowplow or the vehicle
bumper.
CAUTION
Plowing speed should not exceed 10 mph
(16 km/h).
WARNING
Never plow snow with head outside of the
vehicle window or rollover protection system.
Sudden stops or protruding objects could
cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Wear a seat belt when plowing snow. Hidden
obstructions could cause the vehicle to stop
suddenly, resulting in personal injury.
CAUTION
Flag any obstructions that are hard to locate
under snow, to prevent damage to product or
property.
OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
General Instructions
1. Before plowing, make sure you know of any
obstructions hidden beneath the snow, such as
curbs, sidewalk, shrubs, fences, or pipes sticking
up from the ground. If you are unfamiliar with the
area to be plowed, have someone familiar with the
area point out obstacles.
2. If possible, and when you have good visibility,
plow during the storm rather than letting snow
accumulate.
3. Do not exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) when plowing
snow.
4. When you are stacking snow, begin raising the
blade as you come close to the stack. This will let
the blade ride up the stack.
5. It is recommended to start backing away slightly
from plowed snow after each pass before starting
to raise the blade. This will decrease the tension
in the winch cable/rope and reduce the electrical
draw on the UTV's charging system and battery,
resulting in increased cable/rope and battery life.
Hard-Packed Snow
1. On blades equipped with a shoe kit, raise the
anti-wear shoes so that the cutting edge comes
into direct contact with the pavement.
2. Use lowest gear to place maximum power behind
the cutting edge.
3. An angled blade is more e ff ective for removing
hard-packed snow.
