SNOW PLOW
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
In order to mount the plow on the tractor approach the plow so that the lower lifting arms of the three
point hitch are inserted into the mountings of the plow's suspension. Secure the mounting using pins
and cotter pins. Connect the upper part of the suspension system using a regulated tie and secure them
with pins and cotter pins.
Next, connect the hydraulic connections and the power plug along with the control switch. The rotation
axis of the moldboards should be perpendicular to the ground. After lifting the plow the support foot
should be lifted and secured with a pin. If the plow has been equipped with support wheels or skids
they should be adjusted to the correct height.
ATTENTION!
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages to the device resulting from
improper mounting of the plow on the TPH of the tractor. During operation
periodically check weather the plow is still properly mounted.
