PLOW PREPARATION
General
When starting to plow with a new plow or a plow
which has been stored, check to see that all bolts
and set screws are tight and that all cotter pins are
spread to keep them from falling out. It is especially
important that the bolts holding the plow bottoms be
tightened to a torque of 200 lb ft (271 Nm) and
periodically checked to maintain this torque.
Removing Protective Coating from
Plow Bottoms
Plow bottoms are finished and coated to prevent
rusting before leaving the factory. Good field work
cannot be accomplished until this coating is
removed.
The black, protective coating on the plow bottoms will
quickly wear away in most soils. For soils which
scour with difficulty, it is recommended to remove the
c o a t i n g b e f o r e a t t e m p t i n g t o p l o w. U s e a
noncombustible cleaning solvent for this purpose. If
necessary, use a stronger solvent such as paint
remover to remove the protective coating.
If the plow is not to be used for long periods of time,
scrape off the dirt. Clean and protect the polished
surface of the plow bottoms with a liberal coating of a
rust corrosion preventive, available from your dealer.
Heavy grease can be used to protect the plow
bottoms for short periods of time.
