QuattroPlow Operation and Maintenance Manual
Operation
General Information
Pre-Operation Inspection
Before operating the QuattroPlow for the first time
and each time thereafter, use the following list as
a guideline during equipment inspection.
1. Use only a machine of adequate power and
weight to operate the QuattroPlow.
2. Check the QuattroPlow and machine’s quick
tach mounts for damaged, loose or missing
parts. Repair as needed before operation.
3. Lubricate the QuattroPlow, see Lubrication on
page 31.
4. Check that the QuattroPlow is properly
attached to the machine. Be sure retainers are
used on the mounting pins.
5. Check that wear shoes (if equipped) are set at
the same working depth.
6. Make sure that all guards and shields are in
place, secured and functioning as designed.
7. Check oil level in machine’s hydraulic
reservoir.
8. Check that the hydraulic hoses and couplers
are securely attached to the QuattroPlow and
to the machine. Make sure hoses are routed
and secured to avoid pinch points or strain
during movement of the machine/attachment.
9. Check cutting blade for wear or damage.
10. Check hydraulic lines, connections and fittings
for hydraulic oil leaks.
Leaking fluids under pressure can enter the
skin and cause serious injury or death.
Immediate medical attention is required.
Wear goggles. Use cardboard to check for
leaks.
