When the snow is falling down, snowplow owners want to be ready! That means they need to ensure that their snow plow is in tip-top condition once winter hits. Waiting too long to perform preventative maintenance on your snowplow can ensure you lose out on a lot of money! Why? Because most shops are already booked with appointments so it’s nearly impossible to get in and get your equipment worked on in a timely manner. That is why it is crucial that you make sure that your snowplow is ready.
How to make sure your snowplow is ready for winter:
- Test it
- Inspect the truck
- Check equipment
Test it
Get your snowplow out of storage and test it. No one is going to understand how it runs better than you. That is why you should do a test run in your yard to make sure all controls are working properly. We hope that you kept your manual handy as they usually have maintenance tips in there for that specific brand to ensure you will have a successful snowplow season.
Inspect the truck
What else do you need to inspect? Your truck! If your truck isn’t working properly then your snow plow isn’t going to do you much good. Performing a vehicle inspection yourself is an important step in the process. If you don’t feel comfortable doing the inspection yourself, make an appointment with your local car dealership to do the inspection for you.
Check equipment
At the end of the day, the purpose of the inspection is for you to be proactive. We understand that you can’t perform a perfect inspection or see into the future what might break down after further use. But, starting to perform the inspection is the first step in a successful plowing season.
