Remove Cutting Unit and Carrier Frame from Traction Unit

Do not start the engine and engage the PTO lever when PTO shaft is not connected to gear box on cutting unit or or completely removed from the traction unit because the PTO shaft will rotate with enough force to cause serious injury.

Mount the Push Arm Assembly to the Lift Arms

1. Slide the push arm assembly onto the lift arms aligning the mounting holes. Secure each side of the push arm assembly to the lift arms with (3) new capscrews and lockwashers as shown in figure 1. Torque capscrews to 70–80 ft–lb.

2. Secure the PTO shaft to the mounting bracket on the push arm assembly with the (2) capscrews and locknuts supplied in the kit (Fig. 1).

Important If the PTO shaft does not have the bolt on,

clevis end type, disconnect and remove the complete PTO shaft assembly from the traction unit output shaft.

3. If plow will be used on concrete or asphalt surfaces, post skids (Fig. 4) must be adjusted upward so plow contacts surface. By contrast, skids must be adjusted downward–raise plow off surface–when plow will be used on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.

2. Loosen carriage bolts and nuts retaining nose skid to front of plow (Fig. 3). Next, adjust nose skid so it’s bottom edge is even with bottom of plow (Fig. 3). Lastly, tighten nuts and carriage bolts so nose skid remains in place.

Important When scraper blades or nose skid (Fig. 3)

wear down, they can be reversed by removing carriage bolts and nuts. Never allow scraper blades or nose skid to wear even with bottom surface of plow. Reverse scraper blades or nose skid before plow starts to wear.
