3. Re-assemble the Pivot Latch assembly in the reverse order that it was removed in step 1. The Pivot Latch
assembly consists o the ollowing components - lock arm (29), two bushing (18), two ½-13 lock nut (25),
Washer (23), pivot spring (24) and ½-13 X 3½ bolt (28) to plow mount (19). Make sure the tail o the pivot

ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION
THE TENSION PLACED ON THE TILT SPRINGS DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE
THAT MUST BE APPLIED TO THE BLADE BEFORE IT FOLDS OVER IF SOMETHING IS HIT.
ADJUST THE SPRINGS BY LOOSENING THE NUTS (7) ON THE EYEBOLTS (6) AND
ADJUSTING UNTIL THE BLADE DOES NOT FOLD OVER DURING NORMAL OPERATION
BUT WILL FOLD IF AN OBJECT IS STRUCK.
AFTER INSTALLING YOUR PLOW, SECURE THE ROPE SO IT IS ACCESSABLE WHILE
OPERATING THE ATV AND SECURELY HELD. THERE SHOULD BE A SMALL AMOUNT OF
SLACK, IN THE ROPE, TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OF THE LOCK ARM OR
TANGLING.
IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE BLADE ANGLE WHILE OPERATING, COME TO A STOP,
PULL THE ROPE AND RELEASE THE LOCK ARM. DRIVE THE PLOW INTO A SNOW BANK
AT AN ANGLE TO MOVE THE BLADE. WHEN THE PROPER ANGLE IS ACHIEVED
RELEASE THE ROPE, LOCKING THE BLADE IN PLACE .
PUSH YOUR PLOW AROUND!!
