How to perfectly place your own Snow Plow and Salt Spreader out for the period
The main issue with snow and ice equipment is that it's only used during the season which gives it ample time and chance to experience issues in the winter months. The people who set up equipment on their vehicles and then begin plowing or salting, without checking and maintaining the key parts are susceptible to common problems.
We consulted our parts expert for their insights on the best ways to prepare your snow plow to be used this winter, how to prepare and store your Fisher Salt and Sand Spreaders and the best method to keep your snow plow in storage during the off-season.
What are some common issues you see when users are putting their snow plow away for the year?
We see corrosion in the electrical connections between snowplows and trucks as the most significant issue when they are brought back in service. It is essential to ensure that electrical components as well as the connector pins and casings are free of debris and that power connections remain in good condition and transmitting correctly during operation.
Are there any common mistakes that salt spreaders users make over the course of a year?
Salt-based materials can be extremely corrosive. It's important to clean your sander thoroughly after each use. If they start to rust and become brittle, you should pay particular attention to moving parts and steel. Every season, make sure to inspect the bearings and the conveyor chain.
What can happen when a snowplow isn't properly disposed of?
The primary concern you face when putting your snow plows away in a wrong manner is the possibility of corrosion on any steel and electrical surface. Electrical connections will not be as securely joined once corrosion has set it and therefore keeping the plugs clean and dry following use and storage is crucial to ensure stable operation whenever you require it. The power unit should be covered will also help keep water out of your hydraulic oil.
What could happen if a sander is not properly prepped and washed?
Like snow plows and snow plows. Connection problems are the most common cause when it comes to sanders and salt spreaders not functioning properly during the snowy season. Also, because of the corrosive nature of the salt you're spreading it is not uncommon to see a unit that has corrosion and rust within the conveyor chain as well as bearings. When we are preparing the sander for its final year, we check and clean all moving surfaces.
Is there a way to get rid of my salt spreader and snow plow after the?
The Minute 2 Mount system is employed by snowplows from Fisher. It's very simple to remove the snowplow and then remove it from the harness frame.
You may need cranes or forklifts based on the location you intend to keep your Fisher Salt and Sand Spreaders throughout the year. Our salt spreader is often placed in a dump container equipped with a hydraulic hoist, so that the dumping deck could be used to slide the sander on the surface.
