TIPS for the user of the Nordic Auto Plow

 Keep a steady momentum while plowing, but keep it slow! (1-2 mph max)

 DON’T FORGET THE ROAD MARKERS! The included road markers make the job safer

and easier. You can just watch the tips of the markers while plowing to ensure the plow

is upright.

 This is a Plastic Plow – not a Magic Plow! While your plow is well designed and

durable, it is no match for concrete or frozen piles of snow. Do not Ram large piles of

snow at the end of your driveway. Steady momentum will work on large piles of snow;

however, RAMMING will cause something to break!

 Use extreme caution near curbs and streets – sudden changes of elevation will cause a

problem unless approached slowly. Use common sense here!

 The perfect setting for the plow is achieved when you can push the cog just under the

bumper of your car when attached to the plow – tighten your straps when in this position.

 DON’T FORGET THE BUNGEE CORDS. Attach the adjustable bungee cord to the

spring of your tire rather than the wheel fender. I prefer to boot plow under bumper first,

attach bungee cords, and then attach straps.

 Consider using the straps on the gap by the door rather than the hood of your car for

smaller vehicles. This keeps the plow from sliding to the right or left while turning.

 Most cars have a straight, rear bumper which is ideal for the plow. Once strapped to the

trunk, tailgate or luggage rack, the bungee cords lock the plow in place and it won’t slide

left or right when turning.

 For easy transport, pull the plow towards you while attached to the car and rest the cogs

on your bumper. The straps and bungee cords will hold it in place. (DO NOT drive like

that on the highway!)

 If you are plowing but not scraping the driveway cleanly, double check that your straps

and/or bungee cords are not too tight – too tight raises the bottom of the blade off the

ground and you won’t get clean contact.

 Try not to drive on the virgin snow – backtrack along the path you just cleared before changing lanes. If you’ve already packed down the snow with your car, the plow will not get to the bottom of the drive in those areas.  We HIGHLY recommend that you plow directly from your garage during or just after a snowfall –you will get the cleanest scrape and you can deposit the snow across the street (if legal in your town) before the village trucks come.
