A-FRAME/T-FRAME, QUADRANT AND
LIFT FRAME
Straight and WIDE-OUT™ Blades
The quadrant is attached to the back of the blade
with heavy-duty trip springs and either bolts
with locknuts or 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. See the Maintenance
section for Trip Spring Adjustment.
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.
The hydraulic unit is mounted on the front of
the lift frame. The hoses remain connected to
the hydraulic unit and the rams. The snowplow
headlamps are also attached to the lift frame.
