B – Wear and distortion of
– Fork pockets
– Thumb screws
– Pivot pin
– Adjustment pin

C – Any damaged/worn components
2. Damage or failure must be reported and rectified immediately prior to re-use of the attachment.
3. General surface rusting especially in the critical areas should be treated with proprietary inhibitors, primers and paint on a regular basis.
4. Regular inspection of the wear blade should be made and its position adjusted so as to ensure that the main Snow Blade is clear of wear.
5. After each use clean the plough down with water to remove any salt residue.

1. The manager of the department or section where the attachment is to be used must be responsible for ensuring the operators are fully conversant with the attachment, its operation, maintenance and that the thumb screws are fully tightened.
2. Do not drive into the fork pockets without retracting the thumb screws.
3. Do not shock load the attachment under any circumstances.
4. Ensure that the area to be cleared is free of speed humps and/or raised kerbs etc so as to prevent damage to the Snow Plough Blade.
5. Always Plough inline with the gradient of the road surface.
6. Drive the Snow Plough ensuring that the Skids/Castors are in contact with the road surface at all times.
