2 Diamond snowplow equipment should only be used on vehicles equipped with the manufacturer’ s snowplow preparation packages. Snowplowing without the original snowplow preparation package may damage your vehicle and the added weight of the equipment may impair the operation and control of the vehicle. Snowplowing with a vehicle that the manufactu[...]

18 General Maintenance Diamond Equipment recommends this maintenance information for r egular service. Sustained heavy operation may call for more fr equent 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. Inspection sh[...]

19 NOTE: PROTECTION AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION When the power unit is not used for extended periods, protect the chr omed 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 corr osion. Post-Season Summer Maintenance 1. Draining &am[...]

23 PREP ARING AREAS, USE OF GUIDE MARKERS Every area to be plowed should be inspected befor e snowfall for potential hazards. Holes should be r epaired, raised manhole covers leveled or noted and obstructions noted to prevent damage to the plow mounting or vehicle undercarriage. Markers or stakes with reflectors should be in position to indicate bo[...]

24 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 ar e available as the power source of snow clearance. Each type has certain inherent advantages depending upon the particular situation.[...]

25 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 gr ound. Accumulations of more than 4 inches can be very dif ficult to clear . Angle Mol[...]

26 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. to be cleared. PLAN I (less than 50,000 sq. ft.) Recommended equipment: A vehicle (either four -whe[...]

27 Snowplowing Tips fr om the Pros SNOWPLOWING OPEN AREAS Open areas such as parking lots r equire a mor e serious approach to planning, where to begin, and wher e snow can be stacked at the edges. The following will help in making a plan, thus turning out a neat, professional job. Always turn on war ning flashers when plowing. Then make a single p[...]

28 STRAIGHT LINE SNOWPLOWING This method is most efficient for drives, str eets, 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 r olled to the shoulder or curb. Single lane walks, roads and aisles can often be[...]

29 DRIVEWA YS 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. Dr op blade and back drag to street. 3. Back into driveway and angle blade again. Use as many passes as necessary to clear drive. CLEARING TRAPPED AREAS Areas wher e there is little or no spa[...]

30 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. Y ou'll use less, and it will be less dam[...]
