WINTER OPERATION SNOW PLOW GUIDE
SYSTEM OVERVIEW: WHAT IT DOES & HOW IT WORKS
THE SYSTEM
The GL3000PMC Guidance Laser uses an “ultra-bright”
green laser to establish wing plow trailing edge location
before you get there.
The laser spot impacts on the road/snow surface ahead
of the truck and shows the driver where the wing plow
trailing edge will be. The laser reference spot is on the
road and in the driver’s normal field of view.
The GL3000PMC is electronically designed for cold weath-
er operation. This laser is coupled to a special heat source
for the exit window to reduce or eliminate ice build-up on
the front of the laser output lens. The GL3000PMC also has
a unique pneumatic snow removal system incorporated
with the laser housing that automatically fires a blast of air
at the front of the laser lens every 5 seconds. This removes
snow build-up from the laser output lens.
The GL3000PMC is a class IIIA ultra bright green laser
with 5mW of power. Green is most visible to the eye in
all working conditions. The GL3000PMC laser is U.S.
CFR 21-1040 and Canadian IEC 60825 compliant. The
GL3000PMC meets all federal U.S. OSHA and Canadian
CCOS standards for operation.
The laser housing is weatherproof, and hermetically
sealed and dry nitrogen charged for operation in virtu-
ally any weather condition.
The systems work directly off the 12 volt side of the
truck, and will operate from 11 to 15 volts DC with posi-
tive or negative ground.
THE PRODUCT
The GL3000PMC is a versatile all weather product that
can also be used for guiding highway paint stripers,
asphalt distributors, pavement profilers, or virtually any
other vehicle or equipment requiring line control. Use it
in the winter and summer for all your guidance needs.
Main Housing: Weatherproof, containing optic plate
mounting platform, micro processor electronics, laser,
laser mounting assembly, laser driver board, automatic
cooling and heating system, front window is automati-
cally heated to reduce or eliminate icing.
Pneumatic Air Blast Module: Removes snow build up
from laser exit window with automatic air blast every
5 seconds.
Control Panel In Cab: Allows the operator to turn the
laser on and off as well as the deicing and automatic air
blast functions.
20 Feet of Interconnect Cable: With waterproof mil
spec in-line connector mounted between the laser main
housing and the control panel mounted in the cab.
15 Feet of 12 or 24V DC Cable: Running from control
box for connection to vehicle’s 12 or 24V DC power.
20 Feet of 1/4-Inch Pneumatic Hose Line: Complete with
connectors for tying into vehicle’s secondary air source.
THE ADVANTAGES
• Cuts damage caused by plow strikes by 80 to 100%.
• Less strain on the driver.
• Reduces equipment down time.
• It’s much safer.
• It will save you money.

START UP PROCEDURE (WINTER)
A Turn on the (1) Main Power Switch 15-20
minutes prior to plowing. This puts the laser
module in “preheat” to get the laser up to
operating temperature. The laser status light
(green light above laser mode switch) will
slow-blink until the system is warmed up, and
then go on steady when the laser is activated.
B Turn on the (3) Deicer Switch right after you
turn on the main power switch. Leave this
switch on for the entire shift. This switch acti-
vates both the anti-ice heater on the front of the
laser module as well as the pneumatic air blast
module for snow removal from the front lens.

MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance that may be required is:
1. Periodically clean the Exit Window of the GL3000PMC.
Do this with a soft cloth. Do not use Kleenex or paper
towels. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
2. Periodically blow the pneumatic lines to clear
moisture from the system.
Note: Always turn off power to the laser when cleaning
the Exit Window.
SERVICE
No service is required and no service is to be performed
by the Customer. Only LaserLine Mfg., is authorized to
perform laser service. Any opening, tampering with, or
modifying the GL3000PMC Laser Housing by anyone
other than LaserLine Mfg., Inc. will void the warranty.
Under no circumstances, attempt to open or disassemble
the main Laser Housing.
The pneumatic air blast module may be opened for ser-
vice or valve replacement. See page 3 item 10 for location.
INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
1. The laser must be mounted to a stable surface. If the la-
ser base is vibrating (too flimsy a mount) on the vehicle, the
vibration is magnified at the laser spot and can make it dif-
ficult to see. Stability of the laser mount is very important.
2. Do not mount the laser inside the cab and shoot the
laser beam through the windshield without the use of a
boot to prevent back scatter. Call the factory for details.
3. Do not mount the GL3000PMC laser unit in a location
that allows the laser beam to be directed to hit any mir-
ror like reflective surfaces on the vehicle such as mirrors.

INSTALLATION & AIMING THE LASER FOR SNOW PLOWS
INSTALLATION
Mount the GL3000PMC Laser on the far right side (Fig. 1)
of the vehicle (passenger side) on top of the cab, on the
underside of the headache rack (Do NOT use the headache
rack if it rides with the dump function, only if it is perma-
nently attached to the frame), or to the rear view mirror
mount if stable. If the plow trailing edge is on the driver’s
side, mount the laser on the far left.
Run power to the 12 or 24V side of the electrical system,
either tied to or separate from the ignition system. Note:
Attach to minimum 10 amp circuit using minimum of 16
gauge wire.
If activating Plow Position Sensor see item 6 on page 3.
Run pneumatic line to secondary dry air source; i.e., under
driver’s seat. A 40 micron air line filter on the pneumatic
supply line to the laser is recommended.
AIMING THE LASER
With the Wing Plow in the down position (Fig. 2), measure
the distance from the outside of the front and rear outside
tire line to the outer edge of the Wing Plow trailing edge.
Note: Front Wheels must be straight.
Extend the wheel line out about 60 feet in front of the
vehicle (Fig. 3). Make sure the line is perfectly straight and
in line with the outer wheel line. This should be done on
a flat surface or continuous slope running fore and aft of
the truck. Measure along the tire line out the distance in
front of the truck that you want the laser spot to be (i.e., 50
feet). From that point, measure over to the right the width
of the Wing Plow (i.e., 6 feet) plus about 6 to 12 inches for a
cushion. Set the laser spot at that point and lock it down
securely using the Adjustment Bolts on the Laser Housing.
The distance in front of the truck that you set the laser
spot at depends on your own typical driving speed. This
distance could be anywhere from 20 feet to 60 feet or
more (Fig. 4).

1A) Turn on the Main Power Switch 15-20 minutes prior
to plowing. This puts the laser module in “preheat”
to get the laser up to operating temperature. The
laser status light (green light above laser mode
switch) will slow-blink until the system is warmed
up, and then on steady when the laser is activated.
B) Turn on the Deicer Switch right after you turn on
the main power switch. Leave this switch on for the
entire shift. This switch activates both the anti-ice
heater on the front of the laser module as well as
the pneumatic air blast module for snow removal
from the front lens.
2 Do a visual check of the laser housing. If the front of
the unit is packed with snow and ice, wipe it off. It is
not unlike your windshield: if it’s covered with snow
and ice, you cannot see through it. The same is true
for the laser: if the output lens is not clear, the laser
will not go through (see through) it.
3 The GL3000PMC laser spot puts your trailing edge lo-
cation ahead of you and shows you what you will hit if
you do not take action. It virtually eliminates continu-
ally looking in the rearview mirror for trailing edge
location.
• The mirror shows what you just hit.
• The laser shows you what you will hit!
It cuts down on strikes and damage dramatically
because it gives you a heads-up about where your plow
trailing edge will be ahead of time.
4 The laser is effective at letting you know your plow
location and whether or not you will clear an object
on long shallow curves and straight runs. When go-
ing around corners, it will not work for you, but once
around the corner it sets you up for your run relative to
guard rail, bridge curb lip, abutments, mailboxes, etc.
5 The laser spot reference ahead of you is more visible or
less visible depending on conditions. If it is bright and
sunny, and you’re plowing slush, you probably will not
see the laser spot, as water sucks out the color. Gen-
erally speaking, the worse the visibility and driving
conditions are, the better it works for you, and that, of
course, is when you need it the most.

SUMMER OPERATION / APPLICATIONS
SYSTEM OVERVIEW: WHAT IT DOES & HOW IT WORKS
SYSTEM
The GL3000PMC uses a high visibility 532nM Class IIIA
Green Laser to establish visual line control for Paint Strip-
ing or any other machine requiring line control. The laser
spot is manually aimed to the desired reference point on
the road and then locked into place with a 5/8 inch bolt.
Some advantages of the GL3000PMC System are:
• Establishes a line reference ahead of the machine in
the driver’s normal field of view.
• Can reduce or eliminate pre-marking and the high
cost associated with it.
• Reduces or prevents overspraying of material.
• Eliminates the boom.
• Accurate — Your reference point is on the surface,
not above it. This process eliminates the problem
of parallax.
• Increases machines maneuverability.
• Safer — Allows operation without the worry
of damage to property or injury to pedestrians
caused by mechanical boom.
• Much less strain on the Operator. It is easy to use
and reduces fatigue.

MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance that may be required is:
• Periodically clean the Exit Window of the GL3000PMC.
Do this with a soft cloth or Kleenex. Be careful not to
scratch the glass.
Note: Always turn off power to the laser then cleaning
the Exit Window.
SERVICE
No service is required and no service is to be performed
by the Customer. Only LaserLine Mfg., is authorized
to perform service. Any opening, tampering with, or
modifying the GL3000PMC Laser Housing by anyone
other than LaserLine Mfg., Inc. will void the warranty.
Warning! Under no circumstances, attempt to open or
disassemble Laser Housing. Doing so may cause expo-
sure to potentially hazardous levels of laser radiation.
INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
1. Mount the GL3000PMC Laser on the vehicle at least
5 feet off the ground. Most Operators prefer to mount the
laser on top of the cab. The higher up the laser is mounted,
the farther ahead of the vehicle you can aim the laser.
When using the GL3000PMC for guiding the gun package
in lieu of the vehicle, the laser can be set up as low as
2-1/2 to 3 feet. (See Fig. 1 for details.)
For best daylight visibility of the laser spot use the
distance versus height chart (Fig. 1) as the maximum
distance away from the laser the spot should be —
closer will be brighter, farther away will be dimmer.
2. The laser must be mounted to a stable surface. If
the laser base is vibrating (too flimsy a mount) on the
vehicle, the vibration is magnified at the laser spot and
can make it difficult to see. Stability of the laser mount is
very important. See page 11 for electrical information.
3. Warning! Do not mount the laser inside the cab and
shoot the laser beam through the windshield without
the use of a boot. This is an unsafe practice as the laser
beam can reflect back off the windshield into the Opera-
tor’s eyes (back scatter). Contact the factory for details.
4. Warning! Do not mount the GL3000PMC laser unit
in a location that allows the laser beam to be directed to
hit any shiny or reflective surface on the vehicle such as
chrome, side mounted rear view mirrors, or glass surfaces.

SUMMER USE
USING THE GL3000PMC LASER
USING THE GL3000PMC
1A) Turn on the Main Power Switch 15-20 minutes prior
to use. This puts the laser module in “preheat” to
get the laser up to operating temperature. The laser
status light (green light above laser mode switch)
will slow-blink until the system is warmed up, and
then go off when the laser is ready to be activated.
B) Turn on the Laser (once the slow-flashing green
light goes out). Push once for on steady. Push twice
for blinking. Third push turns the laser off.
Do not turn on the snow/ice button for summer
applications.
2Place vehicle with paint gun package, sprayer head,
cutting edge, or whatever you want to keep in align-
ment, at your desired location on the road.
3Aim the laser spot to the desired reference point on
the road; i.e. existing centerline stripe, road edge, etc.
Once you have located the laser spot as your reference,
as you are driving the spot will indicate your position
relative to “on” center. If you are moving too far to the
right, the laser will be to the right of your reference. If
you are moving too far to the left, the laser will be to
the left of your reference. The laser spot is designed to
be used as a reference about 15 to 35 feet in front of the
vehicle. The laser spot reference on the road usually
appears the brightest at this distance.
4The laser spot reference ahead of you is more visible or
less visible depending on conditions such as the surface
you are driving on and the brightness and location of
the sun. One of the worst conditions is driving into low
sun on new asphalt. This creates a condition where the
surface looks almost white from all the glare.

LASER SAFETY
The GL3000PMC Laser is a Class IIIa Laser Product
generating less than 5 milliwatts of Laser Light. Class IIIa
Lasers are used every day in construction and alignment
applications. With every use, eye safety is a consideration.
The Operators of the laser are effectively the “Safety
Persons”, and should think of themselves as the person
responsible for preventing accidents and unwanted
exposure.
Viewing or looking at the laser spot impacted on the
road or highway is normal operating procedure for the
GL3000PMC and is how the product is used for guid-
ance applications. There is no danger or hazard to the
Operator or Driver using the laser in this manner.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
• When installing the GL3000PMC Laser, do not mount
the laser inside the cab and shoot the laser beam
through the windshield without the use of a boot. This
is an unsafe practice as the laser beam can reflect
back off the windshield into the Operator’s eyes (back
scatter). Call the factory for details.
• Do not mount the GL3000PMC Laser in a location that
allows the laser beam to be directed to hit any shiny or
reflective surface on the vehicle, such as chrome, side
mounted rear view mirrors, or glass surfaces.
• Class IIIa Lasers are bright lights that can or may be
aimed. Be aware of people and your surroundings.
• Therefore, think of the laser as the sun, something
you do not stare back into. Do not look at the laser
through optical devices, or look at it reflected off of
shiny surfaces such as chrome, glass or mirrors.
• Turn laser off in the event of potential exposures:
i.e., stopped at a crosswalk in the vicinity of pedes-
trial traffic. Watch for the reflection off of bumpers,
windows, etc.
• CAUTION!Useofcontrolsoradjustmentsorper-
formance of procedures other that those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Donotopenlaserhousing,nouserserviceable
parts inside. Service to be performed ONLY by
manufacturer.
