Vehicle Side Installation
Plowing is very hard on vehicles. For this reason any vehicle getting a plow mounted to it should be well main-
tained. Before installing a plow, and on a regular basis after, have the following systems checked and repaired as
necessary:
•
Braking
- The additional weight and frequent starts/stops of plowing require your brakes to be working
at their best.
•
Cooling - Transporting the plow can block air flow to your radiator. Keep an eye on your temperature
gage and make sure your cooling system is working as designed.
•
Suspension - Plows really work out a front suspension even if you are within your FAWR limit. Have your
suspension components checked regularly.
•
Transmission - Snowplow operators probably drive in reverse more than any other driving professional.
Keep your transmission well maintained, and ALWAYS fully stop before shifting from forward to reverse.
•
Lighting
- Plow lights require the truck lights to be working correctly. Any malfunction on the truck side
will result in a malfunction on the plow side and make troubleshooting much more difficult. Always make
sure your truck lights are working normally BEFORE you start an install.
•
Alignment - The vehicle alignment should be checked and corrected AFTER the plow is installed.
Vehicle Specific Mount Installation
Install the SnowDogg
®
Plow Mount required for your application following all instructions in the mount installation
instructions(**). Modification of your vehicles bumper/air dam/fascia may be required and will vary from vehicle
to vehicle.
** The MDII/VMDII plows use the same mounts used for the MD/VMD series. However, due to changes in the lift
geometry, the pushbar should be mounted with the solid round bar at ~10” from the ground. If this is not pos-
sible due to truck interference, the push bar can be mounted lower without impact on plow performance.
WARNING
Check all mounting hardware on a regular basis. Fasteners on plow mounts are subjected to a great deal of
vibration and WILL loosen over time potentially causing the mount or plow to come loose from your vehicle.
