Whether you’re a professional snowplow operator or a homeowner clearing your own driveway, knowing how to properly adjust and control the plow is essential for safe and efficient snow removal. In this blog post, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to achieve optimal plow performance.

What are the key adjustments to consider?

Before you begin plowing, it is crucial to make a few key adjustments to ensure the plow is properly aligned and configured:

  • Blade Height
  • Blade Angle
  • Blade Tension

How to adjust the blade height?

The blade height determines the cutting edge distance from the ground. Follow these steps to adjust it:

  1. Position the plow on a flat surface and lower it to the desired height.
  2. Locate the adjustment bolts on each side of the blade.
  3. Loosen the bolts and slide the blade up or down until the desired height is achieved.
  4. Tighten the bolts securely to hold the blade in place.

How to adjust the blade angle?

The blade angle affects how snow is directed while plowing. To adjust it:

  1. Ensure the plow is in the straight position.
  2. Locate the angle adjustment lever or switch on your plow.
  3. Move the lever or switch to the desired angle – left, right, or straight.
  4. Confirm that the angle lock engages to prevent unintentional movements.

How to adjust the blade tension?

Proper blade tension prevents the blade from bouncing or tripping while plowing. Here’s how to adjust it:

  1. Inspect the tension springs located on the back of the plow.
  2. Loosen the spring tension adjustment bolts.
  3. Adjust the tension to the appropriate level, depending on your plow model and snow conditions.
  4. Tighten the bolts back, ensuring the tension is evenly distributed.

How to control the plow?

Now that you’ve made the necessary adjustments, here are some tips for effectively controlling the plow:

  • Use smooth and steady movements to avoid damage to the plow or surrounding areas.
  • Engage the plow at a slow speed to prevent unnecessary strain on your vehicle.
  • Avoid raising the plow completely while driving to maintain visibility and control.
  • Keep a safe distance from objects and obstacles to prevent collisions or damage.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure optimal plow performance and make snow removal a breeze!

We hope this blog post has provided you with valuable insights and instructions on adjusting and controlling your plow. Stay safe and enjoy efficient snow removal all winter long!
