The quadrant is attached to the back of the blade
with heavy-duty trip springs and clevis pins with
cotters. The trip springs allow the blade to trip
forward and ride over obstacles such as low
curbs, manhole covers, etc., without damaging the
blade or the vehicle or injuring the driver. For trip
spring adjustment instructions, see "Maintenance
and Adjustment" in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
The quadrant is attached to the triangular A-frame
with a pivot bolt. The pivot bolt allows the quadrant
and blade to swing right or left.
