Straight Blade Basic Plowing Practices

To start a pass, start the vehicle in motion. Then drop the blade.

As you come to the end of a pass, lift off from the accelerator while starting to use the brake. At the
same time, start to raise the blade to help stack the snow – and to make it easier on your electrical
system.

Plow areas in front of buildings and overhead doors first. With the blade raised and in the Straight-
Position, drive up to the building; drop the blade; and pull the snow away from the building. Then turn
your vehicle around, back into the cleared area and push the snow to the outer edges of the lot.

Push the banks back far enough to accommodate future snowfalls.
 After back dragging snow away from building, it's time to start plowing the lot. Start by making a pass
down the center of the lot, and then push snow in windrows to the outer edges. If there has been a
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.
