OPERATION

3. To plow higher snow drifts, raise the blade and remove layer of snow from the
top, lowering the blade by degrees on successive passes until the full depth is
removed.
4. Do not allow the snow to become icy. Plowing immediately after each snowfall
reduces the possibility the plow be used to break through ice.
5. Be familiar with the area being plowed or have someone who is familiar point
out hazards. Exercise caution because hidden obstacles can inflict severe
damage to both plow and vehicle.
6. Keep a distance of a metre (3 ft.) from obstacles such as building walls,
telephone poles, and gates because the vehicle may slip sideways and cause
the plow to contact them.
7. Ramming into a pile of snow will void your warranty and may cause damage to
your vehicle. This plow is not designed for ice blocks
8. Do not attempt plowing snow at speeds above 15 km/h (10 mph). Faster may
overload the unit or contribute to loss of control of the vehicle.
9. Should the plow appear to hop when plowing, a reduction in speed is
recommended.
10. The DK2 Snow Plow will, by design, trip forward if overloaded or on striking
an obstacle buried under the snow. The trip springs will then pull it back to the
correct position. Before carrying on with caution, it is prudent to search out any
hidden obstacles.
11. Before backing up, elevate the plow.
12. Make it a practice to lower the blade to the ground every time the vehicle is
parked.
13. Do not leave the plow mounted on the vehicle between uses. It is easy to
remove and re-attach.
14. Do not let ice and snow build up on the winch. Clear it off frequently so the
blade's raising and lowering functions are not impeded. If stored outside, cover
the winch assembly.
15. NOT DESIGNED FOR TRANSPORTATION ON PUBLIC ROADS. In most
jurisdictions, driving on highways with a plow attached to your vehicle requires
a lighting kit with turn signals as well as a safety retention chain to prevent the
plow falling off the vehicle. Consult local regulations.
NOTE: Travelling at speeds above 15 km/h (10 mph) with a plow attached
obstructs the vehicle's cool air intake and may cause engine overheating.
PLOWING LANES
NOTE: Always begin the season plowing lanes as widely as you can. As the
season progresses, maintenance of lane width is easier if there is room to move
the subsequent snowfalls to.
Procedure:
z Set the plow at an angle and move down the lane pushing the snow as close
as possible to the edge where the snow will be piled. Stay clear of any ditches,
trees, buildings and other obstacles along the lane.
z When you reach the end of the lane, turn the vehicle around and return going
down the other side of the lane, building up a second pile of snow, without
changing the angle of the plow.
z Run along the edges again, repeating this action and push the snow pile back
incrementally further on each pass.
