PLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
The Snowplow is intended for light duty, personal use only. It can be used to effectively clea
r
snow from parking lots, lane ways and driveways quickly and with minimal effort.
To obtain many years of trouble free service from your Snowplow, be sure to observe these
basic plowing instructions.
1. Before beginning to plow check that the hitch pins are properly installed through the
holes on the mounting forks under the vehicle. To check this pull forward on the plow.
If the plow moves from the vehicle when pulled the hitch pins are not correctly installed.
2. Plow promptly after every 3-6 inches of accumulation during heavy snowfalls.
3. Plow immediately after each snowfall. The plow cannot be used to break through ice.
4. Exercise caution and be familiar with the area that you are plowing. Hidden obstacles can
damage both the plow and your vehicle.
5. Stay clear of all obstacles by at least 3 feet (walls, telephone poles, gate, etc.) as you
r
vehicle may slip sideways on ice causing the plow to strike the obstacle.
6. Never ram a pile of snow. Your unit is not designed to move blocks of ice and attempting to
do so will void your warranty and may cause damage to your vehicle.
7. Do not exceed 10 mph (16 km/hr). Excessive speeds can overload the plow or cause you
to loose control of your vehicle.
8. When you encounter drifts of snow, proceed by raising the plow to remove the top layer o
f
snow, then remove the base on successive passes.
9. If your plow hops when plowing reduce your speed.
10. Your plow is designed to trip forward if it is overloaded or if it encounters a small obstacle
buried in the snow. The plow will automatically reset itself. If you are unsure as to why it
tripped, examine the snow pile for a hidden obstacle before proceeding with caution.
11. Always lift the plow before backing up.
12. Always lower the plow when parked.
13. Remove the plow from your vehicle after each use and do not allow ice or snow to
accumulate on the winch.
14. THE SNOWPLOW IS NOT INTENDED FOR TRANSPORTATION ON PUBLIC ROADS.
To drive on the highway with a plow attached most states and provinces require the
installation of a lighting kit complete with turn signals. A safety chain is also required,
which would not allow the plow to fall off the front of the truck. Always consult your local
regulatory agency for their particular requirements.
Note: Driving at speeds above 10 mph (16 km/hr) with the plow attached may cause you
r
engine to overheat.
