When snow plowing, there are several things that you should avoid doing to ensure safety and prevent damage to the plow and other equipment. First, you should never push snow onto public roads or sidewalks, as this can create hazardous conditions for other drivers and pedestrians. It is also important to avoid plowing too fast, as this can increase the risk of accidents and damage to the plow or vehicle. Additionally, avoid hitting curbs, manhole covers, or other obstacles, as this can cause damage to the plow or vehicle, and create hazards for other drivers. Finally, do not overload the plow or exceed its weight capacity, as this can lead to instability and unsafe operating conditions. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure safe and effective snow plowing.
