MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Do not service or otherwise handle a plow in the raised position unless it is
securely blocked against unexpected failing.
Dependable snowplow operation is the result of following good maintenance procedures. Inspect
your plow frequently to ensure that all parts are working smoothly, and develop a schedule for
maintenance at required intervals.
GENERAL
Wash salt and dirt off the plow before storage. Apply a light coating of grease to extended cylinder
rods to prevent corrosion.
Grease the Zerk every 10 hours of plow use.
Replace all worn bolts and lock nuts. Check all hardware periodically during operation and keep
tightened.
IMPORTANT:
Loose bolts can cause hole elongation and part failure resulting in dan-
gerous operating conditions and equipment breakdown.
Inspect wear of the cutting edge before every plowing season and frequently throughout the sea-
son. Replace the cutting edge before wear reaches the main plow blade.
IMPORTANT:
Excesive wear can cause serious damage to the plows mainframe.
Inspect Spring Tension for wear. Spring tension should be firm.
IMPORTANT:
Do not over tighten compression springs.
Inspect hydraulic cylinder for signs of leaks. If a leak exists, repair or replace.
