Product Description
The KV552 V-blade is designed for the sole purpose of snow removal and moving loose materials. The
KV552 V-blade is an excellent tool for snow removal with all the capabilities of a conventional blade, plus
the added versatility of sweeping both wings back for single pass clearing of sidewalks or sweeping both
wings forward to clear large areas without the need for repeated cleanup passes.
Each blade wing can be angled forward or backward 30 degrees using the power unit’s secondary S.D.L.A.
lever. The angle of each wing is controlled independently with a 12 volt electro-hydraulic valve activated by
a switch on the power unit. The power unit must be equipped with a 12 volt switch & plug kit*.
