SAFETY INFORMATION
• Always follow vehicle manufacturer recommendations for snowplowing.
• Always exercise safety, courtesy and common sense.
• Always know the terrain before plowing.
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Always look where you are going when backing up, don't rely on mirrors or back up
cameras.
• Always plow snow during low-trac hours.
• Always be cautious of pedestrians and vehicles.
• Always be aware of engine temperature, avoid overheating.
• Always transport blade in retainer grooves secured by quick pins.
• Always use lowest transmission gear, on 4WD select low range if equipped.
• Always drive straight with blade set to center postition when creating piles as angled
may cause damage to plow or vehicle.
• Never overload your plow or vehicle, snow depth and water content determines
amount of snow to be cleared per pass.
• Never plow snow with your head/body parts out of the window, an unexpected
sudden stop could result in personal injury.
• Never exceed 65 MPH when transporting plow.
• Never exceed 10 MPH when plowing.
• Never pile snow where it obstructs visibility of trac.
• Never pile snow near handicapped or parking areas.
• Never pile snow on someone else’s property, streets, sidewalks, mail boxes, water
drains, electrical boxes or by re hydrants.
• Periodically inspect hardware and components, perform maintenance as required.
SNOWPLOWING TIPS
• Check local regulations before plowing snow.
• Mark or remove any potential hazards in plowing area as they can be easily covered
by snow and forgotten.
• If blade is kept in warm storage, cooling outside prior to plowing prevents snow from
freezing to blade.
• For gravel surfaces, we recommend packing the snow by making several passes with
blade up to help prevent movement of loose rock when pushing snow.
• Start a pass by accelerating slowly to allow for tire traction and blade to accumulate
snow.
• Amount of snow to be cleared eciently per pass is determined by snow depth and
water content, adjust the width of each pass and plow more often during continuous
snowfalls.
• As you come to the end of a pass, reduce speed and apply brakes as needed.
• When creating piles, drive straight with the blade set to center position.
• To stack snow on hardened piles, start a new pile then push onto existing snow bank.
• Ensure to push snow far enough for future snowfall.
• Wet snow can compact and freeze which requires chipping to break loose before
attempting to move.
