Operating Instructions

Before operating the snow plow, ensure all connections are secure and the UTV is in good working condition. Always wear appropriate safety gear.

1. Plow Angle Adjustment: The plow blade can be adjusted to various angles for optimal snow displacement. Consult your UTV's manual for specific controls if using a power-angle kit, or manually adjust the blade angle using the provided pins on the push tube assembly.
2. Lifting and Lowering: Use your UTV's winch or manual lift system to raise and lower the plow blade. Ensure the blade is fully raised when transporting the UTV and fully lowered when plowing.
3. Plowing Technique: Drive at a controlled speed, especially in deep or heavy snow. Overlapping passes will ensure complete snow removal. Be mindful of obstacles and uneven terrain. The spring-loaded trip mechanism on the blade helps prevent damage if an obstacle is struck.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your KFI Snow Plow Kit and ensure optimal performance.

• Inspect Wear Bar: Regularly check the 2-sided Grade 50 Steel Wear Bar for wear. Replace when necessary to maintain effective plowing and protect the main blade.
• Check Fasteners: Before each use, inspect all bolts, nuts, and pins for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to prevent component failure.
• Lubrication: Lubricate all pivot points and moving parts with a suitable grease to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Cleaning and Storage: After each use, clean the plow blade and all components to remove snow, ice, and salt. Store the plow in a dry area when not in use to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your snow plow, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Plow not lifting/lowering properly: Check winch cable for damage or entanglement. Ensure all connections to the plow are secure. Verify winch functionality.
• Plow not clearing snow effectively: Inspect the wear bar for excessive wear. Adjust the plow blade angle for optimal snow shedding. Ensure adequate downforce from the UTV.
• Excessive vibration or noise: Check all mounting hardware for tightness. Inspect for any bent or damaged components. Ensure the plow is properly aligned with the UTV.
