1. Prepare the Plow Blade: Position the snow plow blade on a flat, stable surface. Ensure it is disengaged from the vehicle and cannot move unexpectedly. If replacing old skids, remove them by unbolting the existing hardware.
2. Position the Skid Assembly: Place one skid assembly against the back of the plow blade, aligning the mounting holes on the skid bracket with the pre-drilled holes on the plow blade. The skid shoe should be positioned towards the bottom edge of the blade.
3. Secure the Skid: Insert the provided bolts through the skid bracket and plow blade holes. Secure them with washers and nuts on the opposite side. Hand-tighten initially.
4. Repeat for Second Skid: Install the second skid assembly on the opposite side of the plow blade, following steps 2 and 3.
5. Adjust Skid Height: The skid height is adjustable to control the distance the plow blade's cutting edge is off the ground. This is typically done by adding or removing washers above or below the skid shoe's mounting plate, or by adjusting a threaded shaft if applicable. Adjust both skids to the desired height, ensuring they are level.
6. Končno zategovanje: Once the skids are at the desired height and level, fully tighten all mounting hardware using appropriate wrenches. Ensure all bolts are snug to prevent loosening during operation.
7. Preverite namestitev: Double-check all connections for tightness and ensure the skids are securely mounted and properly adjusted.

5. Navodila za uporabo

The plow skids are designed to elevate the plow blade's cutting edge slightly above the ground surface, preventing it from digging into gravel, grass, or uneven terrain. Proper adjustment is key to effective operation.

• Adjusting for Surface Type:
  • For gravel or uneven surfaces, adjust the skids to lift the cutting edge higher, typically 1-2 inches off the ground, to prevent scraping and damage.
  • For paved surfaces, the skids can be adjusted lower, allowing the cutting edge to be closer to the ground for more efficient snow removal, while still providing protection against direct contact.
• Enakomerni pritisk: Ensure both skids are adjusted to the same height to maintain even pressure on the plow blade and prevent uneven wear.
• Redni pregled: Periodically check the skid height during plowing operations, especially after encountering obstacles or rough terrain.
