¶ What Is Overlap?
The Overlap setting determines how much each working path overlaps with the previous one during snow clearing.
Adjusting this setting helps balance efficiency and coverage, preventing narrow strips of unblown snow between paths.
¶ Recommended Overlap Settings
- Thick Snow or Missed Spots:
Set Overlap = 11.88 for maximum coverage. This setting minimizes missed strips, especially in deep or uneven snow. - Need Faster Cleaning:
Set Overlap = 0 for maximum efficiency and shorter working time.
⚠️ Note: This may result in visible narrow snow lines between paths. - Best Balance (Recommended):
Set Overlap = 5.88 for the best mix of efficiency and thoroughness. Ideal for most residential driveways and moderate snow conditions.
¶ Tips for Best Results
- For uneven driveways or sloped surfaces, increase overlap slightly to account for minor path drift.
- For light, powdery snow, smaller overlap values can be sufficient.
- For wet, heavy snow, a higher overlap ensures complete clearing and prevents snow buildup between passes.
