Power-V Basic Plowing Practices

Accelerate slowly, allowing the wheels to grip the road surface for better traction. Avoid spinning the
tires.

To start a pass, start the vehicle in motion. Then drop the blade.

Whenever possible, back into a cleared area.

If you have a manual transmission, avoid riding the clutch while plowing.

After plowing, let the vehicle idle for ten minutes or more to allow the transmission cooler some time to
cool the transmission fluid.

If you are plowing, change your transmission fluid before and during the season. A good rule of thumb
is to pull your transmission dipstick periodically and smell the fluid. If the fluid has a burnt smell, you
should change the fluid as soon as possible.

To monitor the heat in your transmission, you can install an inline transmission gauge. Once the
temperature reaches 250 degrees, you should let the vehicle idle until the transmission fluid cools to a
lower temperature.
