2 Diamond snowplow equipment should only be used on vehicles equipped with the manufacturer’ s snowplow preparation packages. Snowplowing without the original snowplow preparation package may damage your vehicle and the added weight of the equipment may impair the operation and control of the vehicle.

17 Snowplow Operation The snowplow should only be in operation when the vehicle ignition switch and the Electro-T ouch® control switch are in the "ON" position. Care should be taken to insur e that the Electro- T ouch® contr ol switch is kept dry and free fr om moisture during normal operation.
18 General Maintenance Diamond Equipment recommends this maintenance information for r egular service. Sustained heavy operation may call for more fr equent service. Snowplowing subjects a vehicle to exceptionally rugged use. As a result, it is important to inspect and bring the snowplow and vehicle up to maximum operating conditions.
19 NOTE: PROTECTION AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION When the power unit is not used for extended periods, protect the chr omed lift piston fully extending and coating it with chassis lubricant. Coat the exposed portions of the power angling cylinder rods with chassis lubricant to protect against corr osion.
20 TROUBLESHOOTING CHART FOR ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC POWER UNITS This chart is intended to be used as an aid in diagnosing problems on Diamond Hydraulic Power Units. It is not a substitute for factory training and experience. Be certain to read the General Information and T esting Tips sections before attempting any tr oubleshooting.

23 PREP ARING AREAS, USE OF GUIDE MARKERS Every area to be plowed should be inspected befor e snowfall for potential hazards. Holes should be r epaired, raised manhole covers leveled or noted and obstructions noted to prevent damage to the plow mounting or vehicle undercarriage.
24 SELECTING EQUIPMENT Where you plan to plow , and the conditions under which you will be plowing, determine to a great extent the type of vehicle you'll find most useful. In general, three types of vehicles ar e available as the power source of snow clearance.
25 Plow with the Storm It is of utmost importance to remember one basic rule -Always plow with the storm. Start plowing when snow is 1 to 4 inches deep, depending upon traffic or other limitations. Heavy wet snow can be very hazardous when just 1 inch is on the gr ound.
26 These two snowplowing techniques have been time-and operation-tested. Use them as guidelines for most snowplowing strategies. Plan I is for smaller areas of 50,000 sq.ft. or less. Plan II is for larger establishments having more than 50,000 sq.ft. to be cleared.
27 Snowplowing Tips fr om the Pros SNOWPLOWING OPEN AREAS Open areas such as parking lots r equire a mor e serious approach to planning, where to begin, and wher e snow can be stacked at the edges. The following will help in making a plan, thus turning out a neat, professional job.
28 STRAIGHT LINE SNOWPLOWING This method is most efficient for drives, str eets, roads and walkways. Moldboard type blade snowplows mounted on utility vehicles or service trucks are best for such an operation. Set the snowplow moldboard at an angle so that the snow is r olled to the shoulder or curb.
29 DRIVEWA YS 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. Dr op blade and back drag to street. 3. Back into driveway and angle blade again. Use as many passes as necessary to clear drive.
30 Except in very light snow , minerals or chemicals should never be used in place of snow plowing. However , in combination with trained personnel and equipment, minerals or chemicals play an important part in controlling ice and snow . Whenever possible, apply minerals or chemicals before a snowfall.
31 MEYER MA TE The Meyer Mate is constructed of thermoplastic without the added weight of a steel frame. The motor is enclosed in the thermoplastic to protect it fr om the elements while the built in vibrator allows the free flow of materials. The 9 cu.
32 MINI AND MINI JR, The Meyer Mini (9cu.ft.) and Mini Jr (5.75cu.ft.) are ideal solutions for small and medium sized jobs: walkways, intersections, access ramps and parking lots. The no rust thermoplastic hopper and internal vertical spiral auger provide continuos and even flow of material.
