3. When lowering the snow push to the ground the moldboard should be behind the triangular holes in the side plate, which will block the view of the holes. If the frame is not vertical the triangular holes will be visible. Improper positioning will reduce mounting block life due to excess loading. Improper positioning will also reduce productivity as sections of the snow push will not float properly and the edges will not trip properly.

Snow Handling

To stack snow on curbs, use the following procedure:

1. Slowly approach the curb.

2. Allow the side plates to rotate upward.

3. Slowly allow the cutting edges to contact the curb then slowly raise the lift arms and roll forward over the curb.

To stack snow into piles, use the following procedure:

1. Raise the boom as you continue forward.

2. Continue to raise the boom upward, pushing the snow upward and forward simultaneously.

Note: Never push snow into a frozen snow pile. This work tool is designed to scrape snow from the surface, this work tool is not to be used as a bucket. To push snow piles back or to relocate snow, use a bucket.
