TRIP-OVER EXTENSION SPRING
The dozer blade is designed to “trip” forward when
striking large rocks, tree stumps, etc. Once the
blade clears the obstacle, the blade will spring
back to the normal operating position preventing
damage to the machine and plowing surface.
Adjust the extension spring tension by tightening
the ESNA nut until a minimum of 0.5 in. (1.3 cm)
protrudes through the ESNA nut.

TRIP-OVER LOCK
The trip-over lock is designed to halt the forward
trip-over motion caused by the extension spring. It
locks the blade into a rigid position. Only use the
trip-over lock when the operator can be absolutely
certain there are no rigid obstructions on the sur-
face (e.g. broken sidewalks, tree roots, stakes,
etc.) and the forward trip action of the blade is NOT
required.
Engage the trip-over lock by compressing the
spring and rotating the trip-over lock over the stop
rod, as shown in the
photo.
