VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS VEHICLE RECOMMENDATIONS The vehicle with the snowplow installed must comply with applicable motor vehicle safety standards and with the vehicle manufacturer’s stated gross vehicle and axle weight ratings (found on the driver’s side door corner post of the vehicle) as well as the front and rear weight distribution ratio. In some cases, rear ballast may be required to comply with these requirements. (See Ballast Requirements below.

It is easy to remove and re-attach. 14.Do not let ice and snow build up on the winch. Clear it o frequently so the blade’s raising and lowering functions are not impeded.

ENGLISH THE PLOW BLADE ROCKS OR TIPS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. z It is normal for the whole assembly to rock back and forth when mounted on a vehicle, with the plow blade moving side to side from 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10 in.) This compensates for di erences in terrain between what the plow rides on and what the vehicle is riding on. It should not be reduced with shims or washers. z If the rocking is excessive, check the pivot bolt to ensure that there is no more than 6 mm (1/4”) of play.
