SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. NEVER get under the unit during
maintenance procedures without
properly securing the unit
2. ALWAYS take a few minutes to
properly secure the unit using
dunnage or jack stands to ensure
safety during maintenance.
3. DO NOT rely solely upon the
hydraulics of your machine to secure
the unit during maintenance.
4. NEVER get between the prime
mover and the unit while attaching.
5. ALWAYS be sure to keep hands and
feet away from designated pinch
points.
6. DO NOT place hands or feet under
the unit or the prime mover.
7. NEVER stand in front of a unit while
prime mover is in operation.

OPERATING THE UNIT

The Pro-Tech Sno Pusher® is designed with
several exclusive features to ensure safe and
efficient snow removal. The Fusion Edge™ is an
industry first combining the industry leading
rubber edge with a hardened steel core. This
gives superior surface results. The Pro-Float™
Coupler helps to reduce potential damage to your
machine by enabling the Sno Pusher® to move
over raised manhole covers, low curbs and other
obstructions.
To ensure your unit will provide you with years of
service with minimal maintenance follow these
simple instructions:
Pro-Tech Manufacturing and Distribution, Inc.
711 West Ave ▪ Rochester, New York 14611
888-787-4766

1. Once the Sno Pusher is properly
attached to your machine the cutting
edge may be "broken-in" BEFORE
plowing to achieve the best surface
results. This process could take several
hours before the steel edge is exposed.
2. To level the unit set it down and adjust
the curl of your bucket, making sure that
BOTH wear shoes are resting squarely
on your plowing surface. In addition, Pro-
Tech also sells a level gauge that can
assist in keeping the unit level.
3. To ensure proper contact drive your
machine forward approximately 20',
check surface area under your machine
to ensure that plowing area is clean. If
using the post mount option and your
plowing area is not completely clear, feel
free to loosen the tension of binder(s) to
allow your Sno Pusher to vertically adjust
for maximum surface contact. Your Sno
Pusher may not remove hard-pack in
some instances.
IMPORTANT: Binders must not be
tightened to a tension level that inhibits
the movement of the Pro-Float™
Coupler.
4. Down force is NOT necessary for proper
plowing. It can be added as required to
assist in scraping hard packed snow.
However, extended operation of down
force will considerably shorten the life of
your wear shoes and cutting edge.
