Blades - Fisher Engineering SNOWPLOW Owner's Manual

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SNOWPLOW

BLADES

The FISHER difference—the integral trip-edge
®
design—is incorporated into all Minute Mount
system blades. When the blade strikes an
obstacle, only the edge trips, not the entire blade.
When the obstacle is cleared, the edge returns
to its normal plowing position. The plowed snow
stays in front of the vehicle at all times because
the blade remains upright.
Moldboards are constructed of
STORM GUARD™ powder‑coated heavy‑gauge
steel or stainless steel (depending on blade
model) with a formed top edge. The blades are
reinforced with a steel framework to increase
rigidity and strength, and are designed using the
latest advances in computer design techniques.
The blade is curved to pick up snow and cast it
aside smoothly—rolling snow instead of pushing it.
This action allows you to move more snow faster,
using less power, saving fuel, and reducing wear
and tear on the vehicle and snowplow.
Lit. No. 72446, Rev. 05
The base angle is designed with a unique trip
edge. Heavy compression springs on the back
side of the blade hold each edge in the plowing
position. The springs are a safety device that
2
®
allow the trip edge to ride over obstacles without
damaging the blade or vehicle or injuring the
driver. The springs need no adjustments and offer
protection in all blade configurations and angles.
