Adjusting the Lift Chain Spring
The lift chain spring ensures proper operation of the
snowplow mounting system by providing slack in the
lift chain after the blade is lowered.
The XV2™ snowplow comes with the connecting
chain link of the lift chain spring factory-installed in
the ninth link up from the driver-side lift chain U-bolt.
However, due to variations in vehicle frame height,
it may be necessary to adjust the spring location to
ensure optimal performance.
If you encounter mounting or dismounting diffi culty,
the attachment point of the connecting chain link and
spring can be changed to 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:
Adjust the connecting chain link up one link from
the factory setting.
If there is too much slack in the lift chain:
Adjust the connecting chain link down one link
from the factory setting.
Moving the connecting chain link more than one chain
link higher or lower than the original factory setting is
not recommended.
