CLEARING TRAPPED AREAS
Areas where there is little or no space for stacking cleared snow
are considered “trapped.” An example is an area requiring full
access from surrounding buildings. Snow plowing techniques are
the same as for any other space of comparable size, but heavy
accumulations must be piled for removal by truck.
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.
CLEARING RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Driveways and aprons are most efficiently cleared by maneuverable
four wheel drive vehicles. Recommended procedure is to enter
the driveway rolling snow away from the residence. Stop about
two-thirds of the way in, set the blade in bucking position, lift
as high as possible, then drive through the snow to the garage.
Drop the blade and back drag to the street. Turn around, back
into the cleared path to the garage, reset the blade angle and
continue rolling snow away from the house. Complete as many
passes as necessary to clear the snow.
STACKING
When snow clearance conditions are perfect, snow can be merely
pushed out of the way to unused areas. The first storm of the
season, plow back from the drive area to allow space to pile future
snowfall. It is usually necessary to pile snow up to considerable
heights. In that case, push the snow forward and upward by
raising the snow plow as you move into the pile. The vehicle’s
momentum will carry the plow into the pile, avoiding equipment
damage. The pile should slope outward, so later snows can be
pushed upward. WARNING: Stacking snow or pushing up
into high snow piles with the plow in Lower/Float or Angled
position can cause damage to the Snow Plow components
or the vehicle that will not be covered under the Meyer
Products Warranty Program. Such damage may include,
without limitation, twisting the A-Frame, the Moldboard hitting
the Lift Arm, or the Plow Markers striking the vehicle.
