Maintenance
Cutting Edge Trip Spring
Adjustment / Replacement
Set trip springs after first use, then twice per
year thereafter.
Cutting edge trip springs are adjusted by
loosening the jam nut located on the rod between
each spring, then tightening or loosening the
threaded bolt.
Springs are adjusted correctly when there is a
.001” gap between the coils. Tighten jam nut.
NOTE: Use grease or “Anti Seize” on the rod
and jam nut to prevent rusting.
NOTE: Adjust trip springs evenly on both
sides.
Wear Shoe Adjustment /
Replacement (if equipped)
Place blocks under the Flex Plow (both sides) to
hold the wear shoe off the ground.
Remove the retaining pin, spacers and remove
the wear shoe.
Install or remove spacers for desired blade
clearance when installing wear shoe. Install
retaining pin.
Repeat procedures on the opposite side.
NOTE: Wear shoes must be set to the same
height.
Hydraulic Angle Cylinder
Periodically check the angle cylinder’s gland nuts
for tightness. Do not over tighten.
