WARN INDUSTRIES * BASIC GUIDE TO PLOWING

BEFORE YOU PLOW
Install the Plow
Make sure that the plow and
vehicle are on flat, level surface
before attempting to attach the
plow to the vehicle mount. The
vehicle engine should be off,
transmission should be in park
and/or the parking brake set. The
front wheels should be straight and
the plow blade pivot angle should
be set to the straight position
before installing the plow.
Debris such as rocks, dirt, and
branches can become lodged in
the plow mount while operating the
vehicle without the plow. Inspect
the mount for any debris, damage
and to make sure fasteners are
properly torqued before installing
or using the plow.
The plow retaining pins are
secured to the mount by a bail.
This bail can become damaged
with use. Inspect the bail to make
sure that it locks firmly to the
mount. Remove the pin and bend
the bail wire as needed to insure
that it fits tightly to the mount.

operating winch.
Frayed, kinked or
damaged rope must

Always be sure the
latch lever handle is
fully engaged before
plowing. In some
instances it may be
necessary to push
the handle to
engage it into the
plow base. Failure
to properly engage
the plow may result
in loss of vehicle
control which can
lead to vehicle
damage, personal
injury, or even death.
Mold Board Preparation
The mold board surface has a
nonstick material in the coating
from the factory. However, like all
nonstick surfaces, this coating will
wear out over time. A surface
modifier such as wax or nonstick
spray may be applied to the mold
board surface periodically to
produce the best material roll.
