operation
11. Before backing up, elevate the plow.
12. Make it a practice to lower the blade to the ground every time the vehicle is
parked.
13. Do not leave the plow mounted on the vehicle between uses. It is easy to
remove and re-attach.
14. Do not let ice and snow build up on the winch. Clear it off frequently so the
blade's raising and lowering functions are not impeded. If stored outside, cover
the winch assembly.
15. NOT dESIgNEd FOR TRANSPORTATION ON PUbLIc ROAdS. In most
jurisdictions, driving on highways with a plow attached to your vehicle requires
a lighting kit with turn signals as well as a safety retention chain to prevent the
plow falling off the vehicle. Consult local regulations.
note: Travelling at speeds above 15 km/h (10 mph) with a plow attached
obstructs the vehicle's cool air intake and may cause engine overheating.
plowing lanes
note: Always begin the season plowing lanes as widely as you can. As the
season progresses, maintenance of lane width is easier if there is room to move
the subsequent snowfalls to.
Procedure:
z Set the plow at an angle and move down the lane pushing the snow as close
as possible to the edge where the snow will be piled. Stay clear of any ditches,
trees, buildings and other obstacles along the lane.
z When you reach the end of the lane, turn the vehicle around and return going
down the other side of the lane, building up a second pile of snow, without
changing the angle of the plow.
z Run along the edges again, repeating this action and push the snow pile back
incrementally further on each pass.
plowing parking lots
note: Always begin the season plowing parking lots as widely on all sides as
you can. As the season progresses, maintenance of the width of the cleared
area is easier if there is more room to move the subsequent snowfalls to.
Procedure:
z As a rule, plow outward from the centre to one edge, then start again from the
centre and plow outward to the other side.
z Set the plow at 38° and drive down the centre of the parking lot to the far side.
z Stop before ramming the snow pile. Do not use the plow to stack the snow.
z Raise the plow blade.
z Reverse to the spot you started from.
z Plow an overlapping run parallel to the first.
z Raise the plow and continue in the same vein until one half of the parking lot is
cleared.
z Get out and re-set the plow to 38° on the opposite side.
z Starting from the centre again, plow overlapping strips towards the other edge
of the parking lot.

Staking – Before snow even begins to fall, use stakes or wands to mark the edges
of places that need to be plowed, so that you can plow safely and neatly without
damaging the surrounding lawns and gardens. You can also mark hydrants, utility
boxes, gas meters, sewer vent pipes, etc.
