T-FRAME LEVELING
ADJUSTMENT
After the plow has been installed on
the vehicle in the correct
configuration, a fine adjustment can
be made to bring the cutting edges of
the plow in full contact with the
ground across the entire cutting
edge. This adjustment feature should
be used as the cutting edges begin
to wear in order to maintain an even
wear pattern across both cutting
edges and provide good scraping
action.
1. Plow must be installed on a
properly ballasted vehicle, in the
correct configuration.
2. Vehicle and plow must be on a
level surface.
3. Temporarily remove the blade
shoes during this adjustment
procedure.
4. Place blade wings in scoop
position on the ground with no
tension on lift chains.

5. Loosen the locking bolts and the
pivot bolts on the T-frame just
enough to allow the lock plates to
move back and forth freely. (See
figure below.)
It may be necessary to pry one
or both locking plates loose in
order to relieve any tension in the
T-frame and allow the blade to
find a level position.
6. Raise and lower the blade
several times. The cutting edge
should be contacting the level
surface across the full length of
the cutting edge.
7. Move the locking plates rearward
by hand as far as they will go
and tighten the locking bolts and
the pivot bolts to 250 ft-lb.
8. Verify that the cutting edges
remain in full contact with the
ground while the wings are
shifted from the scoop position to
a Vee position.
9. Reinstall blade shoes.
