PLOW ASSEMBLY
1. Place the moldboard face down on card-
board or other padding that will prevent
scratches in the paint. Remove both skid as-
semblies from their shipping locations and
reassemble at the ends of the moldboard
with one 1" spacer and one 1/2" spacer be-
neath the moldboard tube.
Wrap hoist straps or padded chains around
the quadrant weldment, item 1 in drawing
5470, to support its weight.
Unbolt the quadrant from the back of the
moldboard assembly by removing eight hex
bolts and lock nuts. Rotate the quadrant to
its working position and line up eight holes
with holes into moldboard. Reassemble the
quadrant to the moldboard with the eight hex
bolts and lock nuts previously removed.
2. Open the frame crate and set aside the power
unit box, headlamp boxes and parts box for
later. Carefully lift the frame assembly from
the crate by wrapping hoist straps or padded
chains around both ends of the 2 1/2 inch
square tube at the back of the frame assem-
bly.
Remove the 3/4 inch hex bolt, arrow 1 in
drawing 5420A, and two 1/2 inch hex bolts
and spacers, arrow 2, from the push frame.
