4. The Plow Blade Return Spring restrains the plow blade in an upright position during plowing. If the blade wear bar contacts a very low non-movable object, the blade will roll over (forward) against the force of this spring. WARNING Never remove the hook from the end of the winch rope. The hook prevents the end of the winch rope from being pulled into the roller fairlead. Removal of the hook increases the chance that fingers or other extremities may be pulled into the roller fairlead causing personal injury. Leave the winch hook on and always follow safe winching techniques as described in the Winching Guide included with your winch.
WARNING Always Know Your Plow. Take time to fully read the Installation Instructions and/or Operations Guide, and Basic Guide to Plowing, in order to understand your plow and its operations. WARNING Always inspect the plow and bucket mechanism, fasteners, cable and adjustments before operating. Replace all worn or damaged parts before operating.

8. The Hook Eye . The Hook Eye is where the winch rope hook attaches to the Plow Base Assembly. This enables the plow to be raised and lowered. 9. The Push Tube Base Assembly is the main frame of the plow and attaches the plow blade to the vehicle by way of the plow mount. The tubes in this assembly transfer the pushing power of the vehicle into the plow blade. The front part of this assembly is the swivel or pivot platform. This platform supports the blade and allows the blade to pivot from side to side as selected by the operator. It also provides lift points for raising the plow blade with a winch or plow lift.

2. 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 moldboard edge. TIP: The wear bar can be flipped around once, making use of both edges before total replacement is needed.
1. 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 “Moldboard” is the curved face of the blade. The moldboard is specifically designed to roll snow or plowed material.
10. The Plow Mounting Tabs are supplied in the plow mounting kit. These are designed specific to each vehicle and attach the plow tube assembly to the plow mount. Each tab has a pivot disk or round piece of steel. This pivot disk fits into the mount cradle that provides alignment, allowing easy insertion and removal of the connecting pins.

6. The plow blade attack angle is adjusted by a Socket Head Capscrew . There are three positions to match plowing conditions. Depending on the position the capscrew is in, will determine the angle the blade. 7. The T-Handle Pivot latch secures the plow blade pivot angle. Pulling up on the handle will release the latch and allow the blade to be rotated about a vertical axis. The handle is spring loaded so it will automatically engage when the base assembly slots align.
3. The Plow Skid is used to control the cutting/plowing height of the blade. It is designed to hold the blade wear bar off the ground at a user-selected height. These are also wear items and should be inspected often and replaced as needed.
