When using a plow system with your Polaris Off-Road Vehicle, keep the following tips in mind. Before starting, think about the best direction to plow. Consider where you would like your snow piles and where water will go when snow melts. Start in the center and plow outward when possible.
Minimize changes to blade angle, re-positioning and backing up as much as is realistic. Be aware of possible hidden objects under the snow.
Consider marking driveway borders and other obstacles before the ground freezes. Plan ahead by pushing snow piles farther and plowing your driveway wider than its border, especially early in the winter.
This will give you more room for the next snow storm and help to prevent drifting when the wind picks up. Old snow often turns to ice, which can be hazardous to have in the way of your plow or other vehicles. Appropriate clothing can include a winter-rated helmet, insulated and water-resistant gloves, warm and layered clothing, insulated and slip-resistant boots, and fog-resistant eye protection such as helmet face-shields, goggles, or safety glasses.
Avoid piling snow on or near property lines, streets, sidewalks, road ditches, mailboxes, drains, electrical boxes, fire hydrants or across roads. Speed is the number one factor in damage to the plow, vehicle, and surroundings.
Even with the blade up, operating at higher speeds can alter vehicle performance due to the weight of the plow. Do not ram the blade into a snow pile. Slow down before contacting a pile. Come to a complete stop before shifting from forward to reverse. When plowing snow into a pile, start backing up before raising the blade. Before adjusting the blade angle, stop the vehicle, place the gear selector in park, and then raise the blade with the winch or hydraulic lift.
Do not attempt to raise the blade by hand. Inspect your plow system before, during and after use. Be sure your plow is ready prior to the next big storm. It also generates excessive heat from the winch motor.
For ATVs and side-by-sides, accessories like windshields, heated seats and grips, handguards, handlebar gauntlets, and full cabs can make your plowing much more enjoyable. Winches with ropes are preferred over cables for plowing, as heavy use can shorten the life of a steel cable. When parking the vehicle, stop the engine, place the gear selector in park and lower the blade to the down position.
This takes the weight of the plow off of the front suspension of the vehicle and removes pressure from the winch or hydraulic lift cylinder. A board, mat or cardboard can be placed between the lowered blade and your floor to reduce marks on your garage floor. Plow Angle Adjustment The angle of your plow blade can be adjusted so that it pushes snow to either side. Rotate the shear pin handle on the pivot arm assembly to the unlocked position and pull up to disengage the shear pin.
This will allow the plow to be angled to one of the pre-determined angles. Once the plow is in the desired position, secure it in position by pushing the shear pin back down into one of the holes nearest your desired position and rotate the handle back into the locked position. Examples of different handles are shown below. With the power controller, you can easily adjust the angle of your blade.
