OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations! You’ve just purchased one of the industry’s top plow system component accessory. The Plow Blade Wings work great
for all types of plowing. With proper care and maintenance, your plow wings will last for many years!
The Plow Wings allow for greater
control of snow moving and increases capacity by adding 4 inches (10.16 cm) to your blade width when used as a pair. Additionally,
the wings will handle light to medium
-
duty summer landscape work.
NOTICE
Plow operation requires
additional components for operation:

-
Body ATV / UTV Plow Mount *
*These components may be specific to your vehicle.
Please read and understand all assembly instructions, notices and warnings before assembling and operating your plow system.
Follow these guidelines to ensure satisfactory operation:
•
Read this manual and your ATV/ UTV operators manual before use.
•
Periodically check for wear and tightness of all fasteners. Replace or re
-
torque fasteners as necessary.
•
Before first use, set plow in the furthest right or left angled position to check for clearance between the plow and front tires.
•
Operate with extreme caution on slopes and rough terrain. Be familiar with the area before you plow.
•
Be aware of immovable objects that could be hidden in the area you are plowing.
•
To avoid damage when pushing snow into a pile, reverse direction before raising the plow blade.
•
Do not ram the plow blade into piles of snow or immovable objects.
•
For best results, set the suspension preload of your ATV/ UTV to the stiffest setting.
•
To reduce steering effort and increase mobility, set the air pressure of your tires to the maximum pressure specification.
•
The plow skids are adjustable. General skid setting is even with the plow wear bar bottom edge, higher settings reduce the
chance of rocks and gravel from being collected.
•
To increase traction during plow operation, operators can try: Securing weight to the ATV/ UTV for additional tire downforce,
reducing tire air pressure, or installing tire chains.
•
Be aware of the added width to your snow blade using the plow wings to make sure damage to property does not result.
