REVERSIBLE PLOW SET UP AND OPERATION
For new truck hitch installations,
follow the mounting instructions to achieve the
proper mount height, and resulting plow attaching height. (plow pin attaching height is
approx. 14” for most plows, with the plow cutting edge resting on the ground.)
For pinning or coupling plows to existing hitches,
select the proper mounting
hole height for parallel operation, and install the hitch pin to secure the plow to the
hitch. For some plows, the swivel plate can be flipped if additional up or down
attaching distance is needed. If the above adjusting options do not provide
reasonably parallel operation for your plow, mounting ears may need to be removed,
repositioned, and reattached.
Attach plow lifting chain to the truck hitch lift arm
, by first moving the lift arm
parallel to the ground. Attach chain from plow frame to the lift arm by inserting the
7/16” chain link in the top center slot of the arm end plate. Raise plow and check for
proper 10” ground clearance at the cutting edge. Adjust chain if necessary to
accomplish 10” clearance. (For Husting hitch designs, no lift chain is used, and
ground clearance of 8-10” is acceptable)
Runner shoe adjustment (if equipped).
Raise plow, retract running gear. Lower
plow so the cutting edge is touching the ground. Lower running gear until full contact
with the ground is made. Plow performs best when the weight of the plow is evenly
distributed between the cutting edge and the runner shoes.
Follow your organization’s procedure for walk around safety and vehicle
checks before operating.
Include the snow plow in this procedure to check for
loose, missing, or excessively worn components. Check for cracks or breaks in the
components and structure. Check for proper markers, reflectors and safety decals, if
any. Replace any items as needed before operating.
Drive prudently for the road conditions.
In good plowing conditions, reversible
plows can generally be operated safely and with good results up to 30 mph;
expressway and one way plows up to 40 mph.
