The environmental conditions associated with snow, not to mention the health hazards and economic loss it may impose, seriously endanger thousands of lives annually. Business and industry suffer, and millions of snowbelt residents may be affected by a single snowstorm. Diamond Equipment has published this manual to help you get maximum performance from your Diamond Snowplow and familiarize you with the features designed for efficiency and safety; be sure you recognize and understand them. Follow recommended operation and maintenance instructions, so when the storm hits, your Diamond Snowplow will be ready and you will know how to plow like a pro. Do not equip any vehicle with a snowplow without consulting manufacturer's recommendations. Vehicles with Diamond Snowplows installed may be so equipped as to meet vehicle manufacturers' specifications and recommended options for snowplowing use. Most vehicle manufacturers insist that vehicles which are to be used for snowplowing be equipped with certain options and accessories, and it is so stated in vehicle manufacturer specifications for snowplow application. WARNING: Deployment of an air bag while using a Diamond snowplow will not be covered under Diamond Equipment warranty. We also recommend that, for optimum performance, vehicles used for snowplowing be equipped with: • Four-Wheel Drive • Minimum 60 Amp Alternator or larger • Minimum 70 Amp Battery or larger (550 C.C.A.) • Mud and Snow Tires • Increased Radiator Cooling • Automatic Transmission • Transmission Cooler • Power Brakes • Power Steering Under the continuing Diamond Product Improvement Plan, Diamond Equipment reserves the right to change design details and construction without prior notice and without incurring any obligation. Diamond snowplow equipment should only be used on vehicles equipped with the manufacturer’s snowplow preparation packages. Snowplowing without the original snowplow preparation package may damage your vehicle and the added weight of the equipment may impair the operation and control of the vehicle. Snowplowing with a vehicle that the manufacturer does not recommend for that purpose may void your new vehicle warranty. If your vehicle is not originally equipped with the snowplow preparation package, additional equipment may be necessary before snowplowing. Owners of these vehicles should consult their truck dealer before purchase or installation of equipment. CAUTION: The installation, on any vehicle, of these parts is not a full substitute for the original equipment snowplow preparation package. 2 Get to know your Diamond MDII® Snow Plow 1.
