CLEARING RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Driveways and aprons are most efficiently cleared by
maneuverable four wheel drive vehicles. Recommended
procedure is to enter the driveway rolling snow away from the
residence. Stop about two-thirds of the way in, set the blade
in bucking position, lift as high as possible, then drive through
the snow to the garage. Drop the blade and back drag to the
street. Turn around, back into the cleared path to the garage,
reset the blade angle and continue rolling snow away from the
house. Complete as many passes as necessary to clear the
snow.
STACKING
When snow clearance conditions are perfect, snow can be
merely pushed out of the way to unused areas. The first storm
of the season, plow back from the drive area to allow space to
pile future snowfall. It is usually necessary to pile snow up to
considerable heights. In that case, push the snow forward
and upward by raising the snow plow as you move into
the pile. The vehicle’s momentum will carry the plow into
the pile, avoiding equipment damage. The pile should slope
outward, so later snows can be pushed upward. WARNING:
Stacking snow or pushing up into high snow piles with the
plow in Lower/Float or Angled position can cause damage
to the Snow Plow components or the vehicle that will not
be covered under the Meyer Products Warranty Program.
Such damage may include, without limitation, twisting the A-
Frame, the Moldboard hitting the Lift Arm, or the Plow Markers
striking the vehicle.
