OPERATIONAL TESTS AND FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
FINAL INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Attach the snowplow to the vehicle mount. With
snowplow lowered to the ground and on level
pavement, measure the dimension from the
ground to the center of the pivot bar cap screw.
This dimension must be 9-3/4" to 11-1/4".
2. With the snowplow attached and on the ground,
place the stand arm in the lower position with
the lock pin engaged and with the stand shoe
fully retracted in the "up" position. Measure the
distance from the ground to the bottom of the
stand shoe. This distance should be 1-3/8" to
2-1/8". The stand can be adjusted to achieve this
dimension by removing the roll pin and selecting
the proper hole in the stand stem. When the stand
height is correct, cut and remove the spring tie.
3. Final lift chain link adjustment must be made
after the snowplow is assembled with the proper
pivot plate position. On a level surface with the
snowplow on the ground and the lift ram fully
collapsed, attach the chains to the lift arm hooks

in the tightest possible link. This adjustment will
provide for optimum transport height, blade fl oat,
and stacking stop clearance. When chain tension
is correct, the A-frame will not contact the lift
frame when the blade is fully raised.
4. Fully raise the blade and verify that it does not
block the headlamp beams. If the blade blocks the
headlamp beams, lower the blade to the ground,
collapse the lift ram and lengthen each chain by
one link. Repeat this process, lengthening the
chains by one link each time, until the blade does
not block the headlamp beams.
