Lift Chain
1.  Adjust the length of the lift chain on the 
driver's side (with attached spring) so the T-frame 
hits the T-frame stop when the lift ram is fully 
raised (10").
2.  Remove and retain the U-bolt and locknuts 
securing the lift chain on the passenger's side of 
the T-frame. Reposition the U-bolt in the chain so 
the chain is the same length as the chain on the 
driver's side.
3.  Reinstall the U-bolt in the T-frame and tighten 
the locknuts. The chain link will pivot freely in the 
U-bolt.
4.  Raise and lower the snowplow in the fully 
retracted (vee) position to verify that the hydraulic 
hoses bow outward and do not interfere with 
snowplow components.
NOTE: Ensure that the base-end angle ram hoses 
are wrapped over the diagonal brace. Adjust 
hoses, fi ttings, and wraps as necessary to prevent 
any hoses from being pinched.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Leveling the T-Frame: 7.5'/8.5'/9.5' Blades
1.  With snowplow attached to the properly ballasted 
vehicle and blade lowered to ground, the T-frame 
should be parallel with the ground. 
If it is not, place the snowplow in 
the scoop position.

aligned with rear holes

 WARNING
Keep 8' clear of the blade when it is being 
raised, lowered, or angled. Do not stand 
between the vehicle and blade or directly in 
front of the blade. If the blade hits or drops on 
you, you could be seriously injured.
2.  Loosen the front fasteners for the push assembly 
to T-frame connection, but do not remove them. 
Next, remove the rear fasteners from the push 
beam to T-frame connection. Level the T-frame.
3.  Select the hole in the rear of the T-frame 
that is aligned closest to the rear holes in the 
push assembly. Lubricate and reassemble the 
previously removed fasteners into the rear holes. 
Tighten fasteners according to the torque chart.
