SNOWPLOWING TIPS
The SNOWSPORT®180 Utility Plow is designed to make moving snow convenient and
easy by following simple tips.
• Check local regulations before plowing snow.
• Always keep current with snowfall. It’s easier to plow fresh snow.
• From the start of the season, push snow far enough out to allow for future snowfall.
• Wet snow can compact and freeze which requires chipping to break it loose before
attempting to move it.
• If snow is deep and/or compacted you may need to go over it two or three times.
• If blade is kept in warm storage, set blade outside and allow to cool, this prevents
snow from freezing to blade when plowing.
• When starting a pass, accelerate slowly, allowing for tire traction and blade to
accumulate snow.
• When coming to the end of a pass, reduce speed and apply brakes as needed.
• When pushing snow up to piles, drive straight, not at an angle.
• When pushing new snow to stack up against hardened piles, start a new pile rst and
then push it up on to hard pile.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Review the following safety information before moving snow:
• 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 rear or side view
mirrors.
• Always plow snow during low-trafc hours.
• Always be cautious of pedestrians and vehicles.
• Always be aware of engine temperature, avoid overheating.
• Always transport blade in retainer groove secured by quick pins.
• Always use lowest transmission gear, on 4WD select low range if equipped.
• Never overload your equipment, push only enough snow with each pass to get the job
done.
• Never ride the clutch (on vehicles with manual transmission).
• Never plow snow with your head out of the window, an unexpected sudden stop could
result in personal injury.
• Never exceed 65 MPH when transporting plow.
• Never exceed 5 MPH when plowing.
• Never pile snow where it obstructs visibility of trafc.
• 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 the condition of hardware. Check for loose bolts and parts, tighten
if needed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO LOWER FOR PUSHING SNOW
Step behind and remove quick pin. Lift 1 side of blade out of retainer groove until slide
hinge ts over the push frame bar, then lower blade to ground. Secure with quick pin.
Repeat for opposite side of blade.

Drive backward slowly, blade will engage for pushing. When push is nished, driving
forward disengages the blade until you are realigned for next push. Repeat this
procedure until job is nished.
TO STORE BLADE FOR TRANSPORTING
Step behind and remove quick pin. Hang 1 end of blade assembly into retainer groove
on push frame. Secure with quick pin. Repeat for opposite side of blade.
