HIGHWAY
GENERAL
Tighten
bolts
and screws:
When Starting
to
plow
with
a new plow or
one
which
has been
stored,
check
to
see that
all bolts
and
set
screws
are
tight
and
that
all cotters
are
spread
to
keep them
from
falling
out. It is
especially
important
that the
bolts
holding
the plow
bottoms
be
drawn up
very tight.
REMOVING
PROTECTIVE
COATING
FROM BOTTOMS
The bracket
and socket for
a slow
moving
vehicle
(S.M.
V. )
emblem
must
be attached
as near
to the rear
and center
of
the vehicle
as practicable.
The slow
moving
vehicle
emblem
must
be in
a
plane
perpendicular
to
the direction
of travel
(plus
or minus 10
degrees)
and
be placed
centrally
at the rear
of
the
vehicle,
unobscured
and two
to six
feet above
the ground
measured
from
the
lower
edge of
the emblem.

Plow bottoms
are highly
polished
and
coated
to prevent
rusting
before
leaving
the
factory.
Good
work
cannot
be accomplished
until
this
coating
is
removed.
The S.M.
V.
emblem
should
be used at
all times while
on
a public
road.
The black,
protective coating
on
the
bottoms
will
quickly
wear away
in most
soils;
however, for
soils which
scour
with
difficulty,
it is
advisable to
remove
the
coating
before attempting
to
plow.
For this
purpose,
use
gasoline, kerosene
or
diesel
fuel.
A
Caution! Do
not permit
smoking,
sparks
or an
open
flame where
combustible
fuels are
being
used
to remove
the
protective
coating.
Keep
the
work area well
ventilated.
If the
plow is not used
immediately
scrape
off
the dirt,
clean
and protect
the
polished
surface of
the
bottoms
with
a liberal coat-
ing
of
heavy
grease.
