OPERATING PROCEDURES
OPTIONAL LIGHT KIT
Wiring for the optional Snow Plow lights must be run and connected separately,
either connected to the vehicle auxiliary lighting or separately switched. Switching
for the light bar is at the top of the winch support tower.
CAUTION! Be sure that the Snow Plow lights are properly aimed when the
Snow Plow is mounted on the vehicle, since its weight and the weight of any
ballast will aect the way the vehicle sits on the road.
OPERATION
WARNING!
Always inspect Snow Plow components, connections, and fasteners for wear
or damage every time you attach or detach the Snow Plow. Worn or damaged
components may allow the Snow Plow to fail without warning, resulting in
serious injury or vehicle damage.
Before plowing the rst time, be sure all xtures, connections, and parts are tight
and properly aligned.
1. Lift the plow using the control for the winch.
2. The plow angle can now be adjusted using the handle to release the angle lock
pin from the holes in the D frame. Move the handle away from the blade toward
the front of the vehicle and then rotate the blade and D frame. The plow can be
positioned at an angle to the left and to the right of the line of travel or straight
across the front of the vehicle. Releasing the handle will allow the spring-loaded
pin to fall into the appropriate hole in the back of the D frame to hold its position
3. After the rst use, it is recommended that all bolts in the assembly are checked
and re-tightened.
4. 2-wheel-drive vehicles and some others may have lower clearance. This will
likely be further reduced by the front mount as well as the added weight of the
plow. You may feel it helpful to adding spring height or increasing tire size to
provide extra clearance needed. Though plowing ability will not be aected,
because of its extension ahead of the front wheels, there is an increased
likelihood of catching the plow assembly on raised or uneven surfaces.
5. This plow was intended to ease the clearance of newly fallen snow. The
DK2 Snow Plow is not intended to clear the snow deposits created by large
municipal or commercial Snow Plows, which contain heavy compacted, frozen
lumps of snow and ice, and could damage the plow and vehicle. Do not use it
for removing or pushing excessive amounts of snow, nor for ice, sand or gravel.
6. Mainly because of the design of the blade elevation and lowering mechanism,
back-dragging with this unit is not practical nor recommended.
WARNING! With heavier, full-sized vehicles, mainly through momentum, it
may be easier to damage the plow assembly. Cautious use will help extend your
years of trouble-free service.
PLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
The DK2 Snow Plow is intended for light personal use. It will eectively remove
snow from parking lots, lanes, and driveways.
To ensure long life for your Snow Plow, please observe these
fundamental instructions and notes:
1. Before beginning to plow, always check the main frame and the custom mount
are correctly installed and secured using the two quick mount locking plates.
Pull strongly forward on the plow. It should not move out of the front mount.
2. In heavy, continuing snowfalls, do not delay; plow regularly every 8 to 15 cm
(3 to 6 inches) of snow accumulation. With heavy, wet snow increase the
frequency.
