TRI-PLOW COMPONENTS
BLADE
The tw blade wings on your new TRI-PLOWare constuctd of heavy
gage steel. To increase rigidit and stength t each wing is reinforced
with several vertica ribs. The top edge of each wing is rolled for
added strength and improvd appearance.
The exccusive Ron.Acon TM blade is designed to roll snow ahead and
to th side instead of just pushing snow. This action gives your
vehicle a power reserve as it moves snow easily. You move more
snow and mov it faster using less power l saving fuel and reducing
wear and tear on both truck and plow.
Blade life is extended wit rep'aceable high cabon steel cuttng
edges bolted to the bottom of each wing. Periodically switch cutting
edges to the opposi wing to equalize wear. Cutting edge ends are
rounded to help ride ovr obscles and prevent digging and gouging.
The blade also features heavy duti adjustblet disc.ty skid shoes.
Thes rotate 36 for longer wear and better blade flotation over all
surfaces. See the Care & Maintenance seon for adjustent.
Your new TRI-PLOWblade is protected with PRQ.GUARD™ - a
baked-on poder finish that resists crackings corrosion, scratching
and rust. The PROGUARD nn coating - many times thicker than paint -
will maintain its luster and gloss goo looks longer than any other
snowlow blade finish in the indust.
Blade guides wit replaceable flags are furnished with your TRI..
PLOW.. These help improv operator visibilty and blade control.
BLADE POSITIONS

1. Straight Blade. move boh wings to form a straight blade
for wide path plowing or "stckingU snow. Use this position

2. Angled Blade.. Move one wing "OUT" and the other wing
"IN" to form an angled blade in either direcon for general
plowing and widening.
3. 11V" Blade.. Mov both wings "INIt towrds the vehicle for ¡ni.
tial break through plowing and plowing paths or walkways.
4. Scp Blade. Move both wings ClOUT" away from the
