• Operate with transfer case in 4L when plowing small

or congested areas where speeds are not likely to
exceed 15 mph (24 km/h). At higher speeds operate in
4H.

• Vehicles with automatic transmissions should use 4L

range when plowing deep or heavy snow for extended
periods of time to avoid transmission overheating.

• Do not shift the transmission unless the engine has

returned to idle and wheels have stopped. Make a
practice of stepping on the brake pedal before shifting
the transmission.
