FINAL INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Attach snowplow to the vehicle according to
the instructions on the back of the blade. With
snowplow lowered to the ground and on level
pavement, measure from the ground to the top
of the T‑frame. This distance must be 9‑3/4" to
11‑1/4".
2. With the snowplow attached and on the ground,
place the stand arm in the lower position with
the lock pin engaged and with the stand shoe
fully retracted in the "UP" position. Measure the
distance from the ground to the bottom of the
stand shoe. This distance should be 1‑3/8" to
2‑1/8". The stand can be adjusted to achieve this
distance by removing the roll pin and selecting the
proper hole in the stand stem. When the stand
height is correct, cut and remove the spring tie.
3.
Final lift chain link adjustment must be made
after the snowplow is assembled with the proper
pivot plate position. On a level surface with the
snowplow on the ground and the lift ram fully
collapsed, attach the chains to the lift arm hooks
in the tightest possible link. This adjustment will
provide for optimum transport height, blade float,
and stacking stop clearance. When chain tension
is correct, the T‑frame will contact the lift frame
when the blade is fully raised.
4.
Fully raise the blade and verify that it does not
block the headlamp beams. If the blade blocks the
headlamp beams, lower the blade to the ground,
collapse the lift ram, and lengthen each chain by
one link. Repeat this process, lengthening the
chains by one link each time, until the blade does
not block the headlamp beams.
5. Raise and lower the snowplow in "Retract" (vee)
position to verify that the hydraulic hoses bow
outward and do not interfere with snowplow
components.
NOTE: Ensure that the base-end angle ram hoses
are wrapped over the diagonal brace. Adjust
hoses, fittings, and wraps as necessary to prevent
any hoses from being twisted or pinched.

WARNING
Keep 8' clear of the blade when it is being
raised, lowered, or angled. Do not stand
between the vehicle and blade or directly in
front of the blade. If the blade hits or drops on
you, you could be seriously injured.
