BASIC SNOWPLOWING PRACTICES
The SNOWSPORT utility plow was designed to make moving snow convenient and
easy, and by following some simple tips, snow removal can be a safe, enjoyable experi-
ence. Always keep current with the snowfall. It's easier to plow fresh snow. Wet snow
can compact and freeze which requires chipping to break it loose before attempting to
move it. From the start of the season push the snow far enough out to allow for future
snowfalls. Avoid overloading your equipment - push only enough snow with each pass
to get the job done. To start a pass, accelerate slowly - allowing for tire traction and
blade to accumulate snow. As you come to the end of a pass, lift off the accelerator and
start applying brakes as needed. If snow is deep and/or compacted you may need to go
over it two or three times.
• When pushing snow up to hardened snow piles – DO SO STRAIGHT-ON – NOT
AT AN ANGLE.
• Always know the terrain before plowing
• When transporting blade, secure it to retainer brackets with snap pins
• Do not exceed 65 MPH when transporting plow
• Do not exceed 10 MPH when plowing
• Always wear your seat belt when plowing
• Never plow with your head out of the window – an unexpected sudden stop could
result in personal injury
• When backing up don't rely on rear view mirrors – turn around and look where you
are going
• Never pile snow on someone elses property, on street or sidewalks, by fire
hydrants, mailboxes, water drains or electrical boxes
• Check with local regulations before pushing snow across roads – it may be illegal
• Do not pile snow near handicapped or parking areas
• Plow snow during low-traffic hours – be cautious of pedestrians, domestic animals
and vehicles
• Never pile snow where it obstructs visibility of traffic
• Remember – always exercise safety, courtesy, and common sense
• On 4WD select low range
• On manual transmission - avoid riding clutch
• Watch engine heat gauge and avoid overheating
• Follow vehicle manufacturers specifications for snowplowing
