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.
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. Snowplowing techniques are the same as for any other space of comparable size, but heavy accumulations must be piled for removal by truck.
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
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 snowplow 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 Diamond Equipment Warranty Program. Such damage may include, without limitation, twisting the
