WARNING
Never remove the
hook from the end
of the winch rope.
The hook prevents
the end of the
winch rope from
being pulled into
the roller-fairlead.
Removal of the
hook increases
the chance that
fingers or other
extremities may be
pulled into the
roller-fairlead
causing personal
injury. Leave the
winch hook on and
always follow safe
winching
techniques as
described in the
Winching Guide
included with your
winch.
The
Plow Skid
is used to control
the cutting/plowing height of the
blade. It is designed to hold the
blade wear bar off the ground at
a user-selected height. These
are also wear items and should
be inspected often and replaced
as needed.
The
Plow Blade Return Spring
restrains the plow blade in an
upright position during plowing.
If the blade wear bar contacts a
very low non-movable object, the
blade will roll over (forward)
against the force of this spring.
The
Spring Tension Bracket
is
used to tension the return spring
and secure the spring end to the
swivel base assembly. Be sure
the left and right are on the
same setting.
The
Stop Block
is used to set
the plow blade attack angle.
Rotating the stop blocks changes
the scraping or cutting action of
the blade. It provides three
positions, to match plowing
conditions. Be sure to set right
and left blocks in the same
position.
The
Plow Latch Lever
secures
the plow blade pivot angle.
Pressing this lever will release
the latch and allow the blade to
be rotated about a vertical axis.
This lever is spring loaded so it
will automatically engage when
the base assembly slots align.
