Power-V Basic Plowing Practices
significant amount of snowfall, push as much bulk off the lot as possible. Then go over it again. In large
lots it may be best to break your plowing down into smaller areas.
Do not pile snow in the middle of the lot. It will be difficult to remove later.
Do not pile snow near handicapped parking areas.
Plow in straight lines whenever possible, and push snow to the outer edges of the lot. Keep the wind
direction in mind – and pile snow downwind to minimize drifting later.
Plow snow during low-traffic hours, and always be cautious of cars and people in the lot.
Once the majority of snow is removed from the lot, it's time to do the cleanup work. Start by plowing
next to curbs. Be sure to square off corners where possible, and don't leave trails of snow behind.
Plowing Driveways
Make sure you know where your customer wants you to pile the snow.
Drive up to the garage; drop the blade; then back up – pulling the snow approximately two truck
lengths back. Turn the vehicle around and back into the cleaned area. With the blade angled to the
center of the driveway, push the snow to the end of the driveway. Finish by pushing the snow into the
corners at the end of the driveway. Be careful to not leave snow on the road or on sidewalks.
