Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Snow, despite the beauty it may impart to a bleak winter landscape, poses the dual threat of inconvenience and danger. The environmental conditions associated with snow, not to mention the health hazards and economic loss it may impose, seriously endanger thousands of lives annually. Business and industry suffer, and millions of snowbelt residents may be affected by a single snowstorm. -

Page 19: General Maintenance & Adjustments
General Maintenance Diamond Equipment recommends this maintenance information for regular service. Sustained heavy operation may call for more frequent service. Snowplowing subjects a vehicle to exceptionally rugged use. As a result, it is important to inspect and bring the snowplow and vehicle up to maximum operating conditions. - Page 20 NOTE: PROTECTION AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION When the power unit is not used for extended periods, protect the chromed lift piston fully extending and coating it with chassis lubricant. Coat the exposed portions of the power angling cylinder rods with chassis lubricant to protect against corrosion.

The "B"-coil (red wire) is positioned on the valve furthest from the power angling hoses. The “A” coil (black wire) is smaller in diameter and is easily located on the E-60 power unit. On the E-57 power unit, the "A" coil (black wire) is located on the back side of the unit. -

Page 24: Efficient Snow Clearance
Efficient Snow Clearance Starts with Planning PREPARING AREAS, USE OF GUIDE MARKERS Every area to be plowed should be inspected before snowfall for potential hazards. Holes should be repaired, raised manhole covers leveled or noted and obstructions noted to prevent damage to the plow mounting or vehicle undercarriage. -
Page 25: Selecting Equipment
SELECTING EQUIPMENT Where you plan to plow, and the conditions under which you will be plowing, determine to a great extent the type of vehicle you'll find most useful. In general, three types of vehicles are available as the power source of snow clearance. Each type has certain inherent advantages depending upon the particular situation. -
Page 26: Plow With The Storm
Plow with the Storm It is of utmost importance to remember one basic rule -Always plow with the storm. Start plowing when snow is 1 to 4 inches deep, depending upon traffic or other limitations. Heavy wet snow can be very hazardous when just 1 inch is on the ground. Accumulations of more than 4 inches can be very difficult to clear. -
Page 27: Establishing Snow Clearance Plans
Two Established Snow Clearance Plans These two snowplowing techniques have been time-and operation-tested. Use them as guidelines for most snowplowing strategies. Plan I is for smaller areas of 50,000 sq.ft. or less. Plan II is for larger establishments having more than 50,000 sq.ft. -
Page 28: Snowplowing Tips From The Pros
Snowplowing Tips from the Pros SNOWPLOWING OPEN AREAS Open areas such as parking lots require a more serious approach to planning, where to begin, and where snow can be stacked at the edges. The following will help in making a plan, thus turning out a neat, professional job. - Page 29 STRAIGHT LINE SNOWPLOWING This method is most efficient for drives, streets, roads and walkways. Moldboard type blade snowplows mounted on utility vehicles or service trucks are best for such an operation. Set the snowplow moldboard at an angle so that the snow is rolled to the shoulder or curb.
- Page 30 DRIVEWAYS 1. Plow toward garage pushing snow to one side. 2. Set blade to straight position, lift it as high as possible and drive through snow to garage. Drop blade and back drag to street. 3. Back into driveway and angle blade again. Use as many passes as necessary to clear drive.

Page 31: Minerals And Chemicals For Ice Control
Minerals and Chemicals for Ice Control Except in very light snow, minerals or chemicals should never be used in place of snow plowing. However, in combination with trained personnel and equipment, minerals or chemicals play an important part in controlling ice and snow. Whenever possible, apply minerals or chemicals before a snowfall. -
Page 32: Ice Control Spreaders
MEYER MATE Meyer Mate constructed thermoplastic without the added weight of a steel frame. The motor is enclosed in the thermoplastic to protect it from the elements while the built in vibrator allows the free flow of materials. The 9 cu. ft. spreader is capable of spreading salt, sand, salt/sand mixture or calcium chloride from 3’... - Page 33 MINI AND MINI JR, The Meyer Mini (9cu.ft.) and Mini Jr (5.75cu.ft.) are ideal solutions for small and medium sized jobs: walkways, intersections, access ramps and parking lots. The no rust thermoplastic hopper and internal vertical spiral auger provide continuos and even flow of material. Adjustable controls allow spreading of #1 rock salt from 3 to 30 feet.
