DRIVEWAYS
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. Drop
blade and back drag to
street.
3. Back into driveway and
angle blade again. Use as
many passes as necessary
to clear drive.
BACK DRAGGING:
WARNING: Use caution when back dragging. Runners
can catch on objects causing damage to the equipment
or the plowing surface. To reduce the risk of damage,
remove or raise runners when back dragging.
CLEARING TRAPPED AREAS
Areas where there is little or no space for stacking cleared
snow are considered “trapped.” An example is an area
requiring full access from surrounding buildings. Snow
plowing techniques are the same as for any other space of
comparable size, but heavy accumulations must be piled for
removal by truck.
