Important Safety Information
Manual Conventions
This manual uses the following symbols to help differentiate between different kinds of information. The safety symbol is used with a key word to alert you to potential hazards in operating and owning a plow.
Follow all safety messages to avoid or reduce the risk of serious injury or death.

DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

To help you make informed decisions regarding safety, we have included instructions and information on labels. This information is provided with the intent to help avoid potential hazards that may harm you or others. It is, in no way, possible for us to inform you of every hazard you may come across with this product.
NOTE
If you have questions regarding your plow, we can help. Please call our help line at 1-877-346-2050.

Safety Rules
WARNING
· Read this manual thoroughly before operating your plow. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or death.
· Do not exceed 5 mph, even with blade raised. · Make sure that all nuts and bolts are tightened per installation instructions. · Never operate this KFI product with missing or damaged parts. · Drive slowly over bumpy and rough terrain, driving fast could cause damage to winch or plow. · Never raise the plow above point of contact as it could cause damage to machine or winch (if applicable). · Always perform regular inspections and maintenance on plow tubes and hardware before use. · Operate with extreme caution on slopes, steep grades, and rough terrain. · Be aware of any possible hidden objects under the snow. · Do not ram the blade into the pile.

CAUTION
· Take care when installing PLOW SPRINGS as they will be under tension.
· Use care when lifting components into place.

DANGER
Never stand or ride on the plow.

Important Information Before Assembly

This plow system is adjustable for different machine heights. This allows the blade to operate in the V-Position, and the Scoop Position without the blade tips digging into the ground. This manual will use your machine during the assembly process to ensure its at the correct height. This will need to be done on a level surface for proper results. The blade can be adjusted at a later date if you modify your machine or your plow foot height. A leveling kit can be purchased for extreme cases. Height adjustment information can be found on Page 9 for clarity.

Install your winch mount and plow mount, if needed, before assembling the blade.

If your V-Plow has Hydraulic Actuators, you can choose to install the wire harness ahead of time. The V-Plow Wire Harness Manual from Box 4, (M106180-HAR) can be used for that installation. If you purchased the V-Plow Hand Remote, this will operate the winch, so having the winch pre-installed will help in that connection process.

Lift Hook Positions

Plow Pulley Positions

2
Stock (1)

The lift hook or plow pulley has different attachment points that are available. The manual will have you install the lift hook in the `stock' position. If your cable angle requires a different position, the images above show the available options. The stock position will be used in most cases.

Installation Instructions

19.2

1. Make sure this plow system is assembled on a large, level surface to ensure proper set-up.

19.1 2. From Box 4, assemble the Push Tube Ears (16) to the Push

Tube Weldment (15) with HK-398 as shown in Figure 1. If Figure 2

your machine requires a leveling kit, or you purchased a

14.1

14.2

Glacier Mount, refer to that installation manual at this point, then continue below.

3
3. If installing on a Machine with Tracks, continue below.
Otherwise, skip to Step 4.

· The V-Plow Track Extension (106280) is required if you

plow with tracks installed on your machine. For ease

of installation, install the track extension now. Refer to

Step 3, Figure 3 of the 106280 installation manual. After

11. Install Plow Feet (11 & 18) as needed. Figure 5 See Page 4-5 to identify Plow Feet

(11)

Recommended Orientation
12

Plow feet can be configured in various positions: high to allow the

wear bar to scrape the ground,

flush with the wear bar (shown in

Figure 5), or low to keep the wear

bar off the ground. Decide on the

configuration now for proper blade

alignment on the machine.

· Wing Plow Feet (11) come inside 18
the box labeled "105170" (inside Box 3). A manual is included. See that manual for bracket attachment. The height of these feet must match the center foot.

12. Attach the Push Tube Assembly to your plow mount with 5/8" Hitch Pins (14.6) and Bridge Pin Clips (14.7). Connect your winch hook to the Lift Bracket (17) on the push tubes. See Figure 6. If you have a Glacier Mount, attach that appropriately.

13. With the blade assembly in the scoop formation (shown in Figures 3 & 7), drive your machine forward so the push tubes are close to the rear of the blade assembly as shown in Figure 7.

14. Place a level on the Push Tube Center Pivot (3) and raise or lower the winch until it is level as shown in Figure 7. Pull ahead until the Push Tube Center Pivot (3) and Blade Center Pivot (4) are touching. See note under Figure 7. Figure 7a

Maintenance Information
Any components that swivels or pivots should be lubricated occasionally to reduce wear, increase longevity, and ensure proper operation. Some components that should be lubricated include the Center Pivot Pin, Tripping Wear Bar Pins and Actuator Bolts or Manual Wing Adjustment Bolts (depending on your configuration).
The plow system should be inspected at the start of each season and after any accidental impacts. If any component is bent or damaged, it could lead to excess damage later on, or even addition components becoming damaged if not fixed correctly. If needed, individual components can be purchased from KFI by contacting us directly at tech@kfiproducts.com or 877-346-2050 Option 2.
It is best to store the Hydraulic Actuators out of the weather or in a temperature controlled environment when not in use. If you need to store the plow system outdoors, it would be best to cover the actuators at minimum, or remove them from the plow system for storage. More information can be found in the actuator manual.
