Power-V Snowplowing Preparations
5. If you do not have a strobe light or backup lights, you should consider adding them to your vehicle to
increase your own visibility, as well as making yourself more visible to others while plowing.
6. To comply with the federal requirements for front and rear weight distribution – and for good traction
while plowing – make sure your vehicle has the proper amount of ballast. Ballast should be placed
rearward of the back axle towards the tailgate of the bed. And it should be properly secured in place.
7. Check your snowplow to make sure all bolts are tight. Look for cracked welds and hydraulic fluid leaks.
Make sure the plow lights and turn signals are aligned properly and are in good working order.
8. Check your snowplow cutting edge. An over-worn cutting edge can result in costly repairs to the blade
later.
