Use and Care Manual
PLOWING LANE WAYS
Note: To ensure easy maintenance of lane ways throughout the winter season, plow you
r
lane ways as widely as possible during the first snowfalls.
Technique:
Set the plow on an angle and proceed down the lane close to the edge where the snow will be
piled. Be careful to stay clear of ditches, trees, buildings and any other obstacles that may run
parallel with the lane way.
At the end of the lane way, turn the vehicle around and without changing the angle of the plow,
return on the other side of the lane way to accumulate a second pile of snow. Repeat this
action to push the snow pile back further.
PLOWING PARKING AREAS
Hint: Always plow parking areas as widely and as deeply as possible during the first snowfalls.
Technique:
Generally, work from the center to one side and then from the center again to the other side.
Do this by setting the plow on an angle and proceed down the center of the parking lot until you
reach the far edge.
Lift the plow and back up to the position that you started from.
Now, plow a parallel and slightly overlapping path.
After you have plowed half the parking lot, exit the vehicle, adjust the plow to the opposite angle
and starting from the center again, work progressively in a lateral direction, towards the outer edge
of the parking lot.
Note: When approaching the end of the lot, reduce your speed and stop before the blade
slams the snow pile. Your plow should not be used to stack the snow.
