After the snowplow has been
installed on the vehicle in the correct
configuration, a fine adjustment can
be made to bring the cutting edges of
the snowplow in full contact with the
ground across the entire cutting
edge. This adjustment feature should
be used as the cutting edges begin
to wear in order to maintain an even
wear pattern across both cutting
edges and provide good scraping
action.
1. Snowplow must be installed on a
properly ballasted vehicle, in the
correct configuration.
2. Vehicle and snowplow must be
on a level surface.
3. If the optional shoe kit has been
installed on the blade, remove
the shoes during this adjustment
procedure.
4. Place blade wings in scoop
position on the ground with no
tension on lift chains.

5. Remove the rear pushbeam to
T-frame fasteners. Loosen the
front fasteners, and allow the
blade to find a level position.
6. Select the hole in the rear of the
T-frame that is best aligned with
the rear hole in the pushbeam,
and reinstall the rear fasteners.
Tighten all four fasteners to
250 ft-lb.
7. Raise and lower the blade
several times. The cutting edge
should be contacting the level
surface across the full length of
the cutting edge.
8. Verify that the cutting edges
remain in full contact with the
ground while the wings are
shifted from the scoop position to
a fully retracted (vee) position.
9. Reinstall blade shoes if removed
in Step 3.
Complete this procedure as often as
required to provide even cutting edge
wear. Replace the cutting edge(s)
when worn to within 1" of the
carriage bolts.
