IMPORTANT: Review the "Break In Period" section
on page 14 of the Maintenance section to determine
if the 3/4" bolt installed in step 11 is tightened
appropriately.
CAUTION
Do not over tighten trip springs. If more than
.015" (1/64") gap appears between coils
damage could occur during plowing.
Spring must be installed with open end of top
loop facing vehicle. Bottom loop position will
vary.
