THE PLOW BLADE ROCKS OR TIPS FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
It is normal for the whole assembly to rock back and forth when mounted on a
vehicle, with the plow blade moving side to side from 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10 in.)
what the vehicle is riding on. It should not be reduced with shims or washers.
If the rocking is excessive, check the pivot bolt to ensure that there is no more
than 6 mm (1/4”) of play. You can tighten the lock nut, if need be.
The springs and eye bolts may not have enough tension. If the springs look as
though they are loose, loosen the inner nuts and re-tighten the Nylock nuts to
the point where the springs are just tight. Then turn the Nylock nut, shortening
the take-up by 6 mm (1/4 inch) so the springs open slightly. Snug up the inner
M12 nut to hold the assembly tight.
THE WINCH STRAP IS BROKEN OR BREAKING.
Broken straps are often the result of a lack of free movement in the U-bolt, at
the point the strap is fastened to the A frame. Be sure that the lock nuts on the
THE WINCH DOES NOT START, OR IT HESITATES.
CAUTION!
Before working on the winch or the wiring in your vehicle,
disconnect the battery and any other power sources.
Check that the battery cable is securely connected to the battery’s negative
terminal. Do not connect the black (negative ground) wire to the vehicle chassis
or bodywork. It must lead directly to the negative battery terminal.
Check that the control box switch (in the engine compartment) is “ON”.
Check that the winch contacts and the two 2” plug connectors are tight and
free of corrosion or dirt. Dielectric grease works well to protect electrical
connections.
