PLOW PREPARATION
TRANSPORTING
ON
THE
HIGHWAY
GENERAL
Tighten
bolts
and screws:
When
Starting
to
plow with
a
new
plow or one which has been
stored,
check
to
see
that
all
bolts and
set
screws
are
tight
and
that
all
cotters are
spread
to
keep them from
falling out.
It
is
especially important
that
the bolts
holding
the
plow bottoms be drawn up very
tight.
REMOVING PROTECTIVE COATING FROM BOTTOMS
The
bracket and socket
for a slow
moving
vehicle (S.M. V.
)
emblem
must
be attached
as near
to
the rear and center
of
the vehicle
as practicable.
The
slow
moving
vehicle
emblem
must
be
in
a plane
perpendicular
to
the direction of travel (plus
or
minus
10
degrees) and be placed
centrally
at
the
rear
of the
vehicle,
unobscured and two
to six
feet
above
the
ground
measured from
the
lower edge
of the
emblem.
See
lllust. 6.
Plow bottoms are
highly polished and
coated
to
prevent
rusting before leaving
the
factory.
Good work
cannot be accomplished
until this coating
is
removed.
The S.M.
V.
emblem
should be
used
at
all
times
while on
a public road.
The
black, protective coating on
the
bottoms
will
quickly
wear away
in
most
soils;
however,
for soils
which scour
with
difficulty,
it
is
advisable
to
remove
the
coating before attempting
to plow.
For
this
purpose, use
gasoline,
kerosene or
diesel
fuel.
A
Caution!
Do
not permit smoking, sparks
or
an
open flame where combustible
fuels are being
used
to
remove
the protective coating. Keep
the work area well ventilated.
If
the plow
is
not
used immediately scrape
off
the
dirt,
clean and protect
the polished
surface
of the
bottoms
with a
liberal coat-
ing
of
heavy
grease.
