INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You’ve just purchased one of the industry’s top plow system component. The Kolpin Plow Push Frame works great for
all types of plowing. With proper care and maintenance, your plow push frame will last for many years!
The blade pivot design allows the operator to select multiple angled left
-
or
-
right positions, and also incorporates a spring
-
loaded ’trip’
system that allows the blade to handle impacts with small obstructions.
Additionally, this plow frame will handle light to medium
-
duty
summer landscape work.
NOTICE
Plow operation requires
additional components for operation:
High Rise Blade, Winch Kit or Manual Lift Kit,
Mid
-
Body ATV Plow Mount *
*These components may be specific to your vehicle.
Please read and understand all adjustment/maintenance instructions, notices and warnings before assembling and operating your
plow system.
Follow these guidelines to ensure satisfactory operation:
•
Read this manual and your ATV operators manual before use.
•
Periodically check for wear and tightness of all fasteners. Replace or re
-
torque fasteners as necessary.
•
Before first use, set plow in the furthest right or left angled position to check for clearance between the plow and front tires.
•
Operate with extreme caution on slopes and rough terrain. Be familiar with the area before you plow.
•
Be aware of immovable objects that could be hidden in the area you are plowing.
•
To avoid damage when pushing snow into a pile, reverse direction before raising the plow blade.
•
Do not ram the plow blade into piles of snow. **Slow down before hitting a pile.**
•
For best results, set the suspension preload of your ATV to the stiffest setting.
•
To reduce steering effort and increase mobility, set the air pressure of your tires to the maximum pressure specification.
•
The plow skids are adjustable. General skid setting is even with the plow wear bar bottom edge, higher settings reduce the
chance of rocks and gravel from being collected.
•
To increase traction during plow operation, operators can try: Securing weight to the ATV for additional tire downforce, reducing
tire air pressure, or installing tire chains.
•
The plow blade assembly is designed to ‘trip’ when it strikes an object or digs in too far. When pressure is released, the plow
springs back into position.
Spring tension can be increased by tightening the locknuts on the bottom of the eyebolts. For less
spring tension, loosen the locknuts.
•
Always wear appropriate protective clothing as recommended in ATV’s operator’s manual.
•
Keep away from blade and moving parts during operation.
•
Keep these instructions for future reference.
•
All directions referring to right and left are when the rider is sitting on the machine.
•
Your Kolpin accessory is exclusively designed for your vehicle.
