3. Reattach the loose end of the lift chain to the
passenger's side of the A-frame with the retained
U-bolt and locknuts. The chain must be the same
length on both sides.
4. Fully tighten the U-bolts, with the chain oriented in
the direction of lift, before lifting the blade.
Connecting Link and Lift Chain Spring
When the blade is lowered, the lift chain spring
provides slack in the lift chain for ease of mounting
and dismounting the blade.
Your snowplow application may use either a lap link or
a quick link to connect the lift chain and spring.
The lift chain spring is installed at the factory in the lift
chain link number indicated in the chart below.

Due to variations in vehicle frame height, it may be
necessary to adjust the spring location to ensure
optimal performance.
First link oriented
in direction of lift.
If you encounter mounting or dismounting diffi culty,
the attachment point of the connecting link and spring
can be changed to a link on the lift chain that will add
or remove slack from the lift chain.
With the snowplow attached to a properly ballasted
vehicle, make one of the following adjustments:
If there is not enough slack in the lift chain,
there will be diffi culty getting the connecting pins
to engage the vehicle pushplates while pushing
back on the headgear. Adjust the connecting link
up one link from the factory setting.
If there is too much slack in the lift chain,
adjust the connecting link down one link from the
factory setting.
Moving the connecting link more than one chain link
higher or lower than the factory installed location is
not recommended.
