GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SNOWPLOW
The blade is curved to pick up snow and cast it
aside smoothly—rolling snow instead of pushing it.
This action allows you to move more snow faster,
using less power, saving fuel, and reducing wear
and tear on the vehicle and snowplow.
The base angle is designed with a unique trip
edge. Heavy compression springs on the back
side of the blade hold each edge in the plowing
position. The springs are a safety device that
allow the trip edge to ride over obstacles without
damaging the blade or vehicle or injuring the
driver. The springs need no adjustments and offer
protection in all blade congurations and angles.
BLADES
The FISHER
®
difference—the integral trip‑edge
design—is incorporated into all Minute Mount
®
2
system blades. When the blade strikes an
obstacle, only the edge trips, not the entire blade.
When the obstacle is cleared, the edge returns
to its normal plowing position. The plowed snow
stays in front of the vehicle at all times because
the blade remains upright.
Moldboards are constructed of STORM GUARD™
powder‑coated heavy gauge steel or stainless
steel (depending on blade model) with a formed
top edge. The blades are reinforced with a steel
framework to increase rigidity and strength,
and are designed using the latest advances in
computer design techniques.
