2 SNOWPLOW

The UltraMount 2 snowplow consists of all the
components that are readily removable from the
vehicle as a unit. This includes the blade, quadrant,
lift frame, A-frame/T-frame, hydraulic unit, and
snowplow headlamps. The snowplow is ready and
easy to mount when you need to plow snow. When
plowing is completed, remove the snowplow.

UltraMount 2 snowplows have through holes
in the lower lift frame and stand leg. The
holes will accept 1/2" trailer hitch pin
locks, which are available at most auto
supply or trailer equipment stores. These
holes, used with locks, may be used to
secure the snowplow assembly on or o

ﬀ

the truck to deter theft.

The snowplow shall be installed according
to instructions supplied. WESTERN
