OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
Hard-Packed Snow
1. Raise the disc 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 effective for removing
hard‑packed snow.
Deep Snow
1.
For straight blades, shear off top
layers by plowing with the blade
raised 3"–4" (8–10 cm) for the initial pass.
For MVP PLUS™ 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 the job is cut down to size for
full‑blade plowing.
Rule of thumb:
6" (15 cm) of snow – plow with entire blade width;
9" (23 cm) of snow – plow with ¾ blade width;
12" (30 cm) of snow – plow with ½ of the blade.
For WIDE‑OUT™ 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 the
vehicle moving.
4. Ballast is suggested for maximum traction.
Secure ballast behind the rear wheels. Do not
exceed the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR.
5. For increased traction use tire chains where legal.
