PLOW BASICS
Before You Begin:
To start, you should familiarize yourself with your WARN
ProVantage plow and each of its components:
The
Plow Blade
is the primary
component in the plow system.
It is sold in various sizes and
styles for different applications
and vehicle sizes. The “Mold
Board” is the curved face of the
blade. The mold board is
specifically designed to roll
snow or plowed material. The
ribs on the back and the
structure on the bottom of the
blade provide strength and
rigidity.

The
Wear Bar
is the rectangular
metal bar that is bolted to the
bottom of the plow blade. This bar
is the cutting edge and takes the
brunt of the force and wear
involved in plowing. It is a wear
item and should be replaced if worn
back to the adjacent mold board
edge.
