5. Operating Instructions

Proper operation ensures effective snow removal and extends the life of your snow plow.

5.1 Adjusting Blade Width

The snow plow offers two adjustable width settings: 43 inches for narrow spaces and 72 inches for large-area clearing. Adjust the side panels as needed by loosening and re-tightening the bolts.

5.2 Adjusting Blade Angle

Utilize the adjustment handle to set the blade to one of five positions, allowing for left-right angle adjustments up to ±24.88°. This helps direct snow into targeted piles and navigate complex terrains.

5.3 Adjusting Blade Height

The plow features a four-level height adjustment. Adjust the skid shoes to raise or lower the blade, reducing ground friction and adapting to uneven terrain. This also helps avoid scratches from ice and gravel.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your VEVOR Snow Plow Blade.

• Inspect Wear Bar: Periodically check the rubber wear strip for signs of excessive wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain effective scraping and protect the blade.
• Check Fasteners: Before each use, inspect all bolts, nuts, and pins to ensure they are securely tightened. Re-tighten any loose fasteners.
• Clean and Lubricate: After each use, especially after contact with salt or de-icing agents, clean the plow thoroughly. Lubricate moving parts and pivot points to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: For off-season storage, detach the snow plow from your vehicle. Clean, inspect, and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent corrosion and damage.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your snow plow.

• Plow not clearing snow effectively:
  • Check blade angle: Adjust to a more aggressive angle if needed.
  • Inspect wear bar: A worn rubber strip may reduce scraping efficiency. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify height adjustment: Ensure the skid shoes are set correctly for the surface.
• Excessive wear on blade or ground:
  • Adjust blade height: Raise the blade slightly using the skid shoes to reduce direct contact with the ground.
  • Check for obstacles: Ensure the plowing path is clear of large rocks or debris.
• Plow feels unstable or loose:
  • Inspect all mounting points: Ensure the universal plate is securely attached to the ATV/UTV and the plow is tightly connected to the plate.
  • Check all fasteners: Tighten any loose bolts or nuts on the plow assembly.
