KAGE AdvantEDGE Owner's Manual

Acceptable Warpage

The maximum acceptable warpage on the product attachment point is a .045" (3/64") arc radius, measured using a straight edge as the chord across the cutting edge section. Installing the KAGE AdvantEdge on products warped beyond this limit will cause cutting edges to bind, restricting vertical motion.

Diagram: Example of standard highway punch bolt pattern. Number of 12" spaces will vary depending on the plow size. Holes are 5/8" round.

Kage AdvantEdge Installation

Installation Height

Two mounting heights are available: SS Mounting Option and SF Mounting Option.

Diagram: Shows two mounting heights for the AdvantEdge system.

Spring Count by Plow Weight

To calculate the total number of springs required, divide the weight of your plow by 128.7. Then, divide that number by the number of cutting edges. Numbers that do not divide evenly may be rounded up or down based on your specific requirements.

Example: For a 14' Kage plow without a box:

• 14' Plow weight: 3089 lbs
• 3089 lbs / 128.7 = 24 Springs
• 24 total springs / 8 cutting edges = 3 springs per cutting edge

Diagram: Illustrates the spring count calculation and notes to use locktight on 7-slot bolts.

Kage AdvantEdge Weight and Dimensions

Diagram: Shows dimensional details and bolt placement options for Kage AdvantEdge mounting, including SS and SF bolt placement.

Cutting Edge bolt patterns are NOT standard highway punch bolt spacing.

Other bolt patterns may be available; contact Kage for assistance.

KAGE AdvantEdge Backplate Mounting Bolt Patterns

Two height options are available. Choose either SF or SS bolt placement for the AdvantEdge kit.

All mounting holes are for 5/8" plow bolts.

Diagrams illustrating KAGE AdvantEdge backplate mounting bolt patterns for 2', 3', 4', and 5' segments, showing SF and SS bolt placement. Key dimensions include: 2' Segment (12.0" total), 3' Segment (18.0" total), 4' Segment (23.9" total), 5' Segment (30.0" total). SF Bolt Placement is 3.500" offset, SS Bolt Placement is 1.500" offset.

Kage AdvantEdge Edge Extensions

Snow pushers equipped with the Kage AdvantEdge that require additional cutting edge length may be fitted with an extension kit. The kits attach over either an 18" or 24" cutting edge. They can extend the edge length from 0 to 4", closing any gaps between the edge and the pusher's sides. This is typically required for pushers sized in foot and a half widths.

Diagrams illustrating the 18 Edge Extension Kit (#18EEKIT) and 24 Edge Extension Kit (#24EEKIT), showing components labeled 1-4.

AdvantEdge Snow Catch Kit

Kage Snowfire plow systems being fitted with an AdvantEdge are recommended to be upgraded to the Snow Catch Kit shown below. This kit prevents snow from leaking around the Advantedge.

Kage pusher boxes with serial numbers lower than 124-14730 will need a new Side Panel Driver (363-2-D) and a new Side Panel Passenger (363-2-P) in addition to this kit.

AdvantEdge SS Kit 14 SSAE14

Nearly any size plow or pusher can be accommodated by selecting different size segments. Segments come in 2, 3, 4, and 5 foot lengths.

Note if your attachment point is split in the center.
