Plow Assembly
1. Attach the entire push tube assembly to the UniPlow blade. Align the large bolt holes in the side of the pivot
plate with the bolt holes at the bottom of the two center blade braces. From inside the assembly, place a 5/8”-
11 x 1.5” carriage bolt (14) through each hole. Place the pitch bushing (15) onto the open end of each bolt and
into the bushing groove, followed by two 5/8” fender washers (16), then a 5/8”-11 lock nut (17). Tighten each
lock nut enough so that the blade pivots easily on the push tube assembly but is not loose.
2. Locate the two eyebolts (24). Thread a 5/16”-18 hex nut (26) onto the end of each eyebolt, threading them as
close to the eye as possible. Next, place the ends of the plow springs (23) through the top spring hole on each
side of the pivot plate. Place the free end of the spring into the eye-end of an eyebolt, then place a 5/16” flat
washer (25) onto the open threads of the eyebolt. Insert the threads of the eyebolt into the bolt holes at the top
of the blade brace. Loosely secure the eyebolt with another 5/16” flat washer (25) and 5/16”-18 hex nut (26).
3. Next, find the desired tilt angle for the plow blade. Position the entire assembly so that the face of the blade
is sitting flat against the ground. Use a foot on the top of the blade to hold it in place and hinge the push tube
to the desired position. Once the position is achieved, insert a 7/16”-14 x 0.75” socket-heat cap screw (18)
through the tilt angle hole that provides the desired angle at each side of the blade brace and secure each with
a 7/16”-14 lock nut (19).
4. Return to the eyebolts. Begin tightening the 5/16”-18 hex nut (26) opposite the eyebolt’s eye until the desired
spring tension is achieved. Tighten the lead nut back to the brace when finished.
• Spring tension regulates how easily the blade folds forward when the base of the blade contacts an
obstruction (such as a curb), preventing damage to the blade and potentially allowing the blade lift over
the obstruction. Looser spring tension will allow the blade to fold easier, while tighter spring tension
creates a more rigid plowing experience.
5. Place the two safety pins (9) into the quick-mount holes on the push tube end opposite the blade. The UniPlow
is now ready to be attached to a UniPlow mount.
6. On the bottom of the push tube assembly, locate the spring mounting tab. Attach the pivot lever spring (22)
from this tab to the hole on the bottom of the pivot handle.
