| DO
NOT operate truck and snow plow until
you have read the operating instructions and are
thoroughly familiar with all controls and functions. |

SPRING
TRIP TILT BARS/RED TAG NOTICE!
The
cutting edge may be set in one of three (3) positions:
20, 25 & 35 degrees. The proper angle depends on
the snowplowing conditions. In general, the more
perpendicular the cutting edge is set to the road
surface, the less force is needed to activate the
spring loaded trip bars. It is recommended that
the most perpendicular position (20 degrees) be
selected during initial operation. |

-
Unless otherwise specified, the control levers for operating
the plow are set as follows: pull to raise, push to lower.
For power reversible plows the controls are set as follows:
pull to rotate clock wise, push to rotate counterclockwise.
- Inspect
all nuts, bolts, clamps, etc. prior to use. Replace broken
or worn parts immediately. Re-torque loose fittings to SAE
standards.
- Do
not attempt to plow snow with the plow suspended off the
ground. Serious damage to the snowplow may result as well
as subjecting the front axle assembly to possible overload.
- If
the snowplow is equipped with quick hitch mechanism, inspect
all attaching parts, springs, and latches prior to use.
- Inspect
the cutting edge prior to each use and at various intervals
during the period of use to inspect for wear, loose or missing
fasteners, and breakage. Repair or replace as needed. Do
not attempt to wear cutting edge beyond useable life to
avoid damage to bottom moldboard support structure (frog).
- The
design of the V-plow cutting edge on the Falls V-type Plows
is essential to its efficient operation. Use only authorized
replacement blades for best performance.
- In
order to preserve the chrome plated shafts on hydraulic
cylinders, the hydraulic cylinder should be operated at
least once each day. This is particularly important for
those cylinders that operate in a normally extended position
(e.g. hydraulic rear slide, power reversible plows). This
operation allows oil to penetrate the "pores" of the chrome
to prevent rusting. When storing units for the off season,
insure that hydraulic cylinders are stored in the fully
collapsed position and that all ports, hoses, etc. have
been capped or plugged to prevent the introduction of moisture
and contaminants.
