the second are the folding blades . After encountering an obstacle the fold back by 65° allowing the
plow to easily overcome these obstacles. The folding mechanism of the blade ( Fig. 32 ) with new
rubber inserts allows the plow to drive over 12 cm curbs. It should be remembered however that if
the rubber insert becomes worn and is shorter by, for example 5 cm
– this plow can only drive over
a curb 5 cm lower. If the user plows in an area where high curbs are present he should change the
rubber inserts more often

❑
the third optional system is the patented construction of the mount protecting the plow from
pressure greater than 12 tons and from sudden collisions with an immovable obstacle ( Fig. 33 ).
It works by absorbing the energy of the collision through partial or complete breaking
of the 8 securing M14 class 8.8 bolts and through plastic deformation of the pressure plates
of the mount
