Before You Begin Plowing

Read the Warn Plow Operator's Guide-Basic
Guide to Plowing.

VI. Installing the Plow

Make sure that the plow and vehicle are on flat,
level surface before attempting to attach the plow to
the vehicle mount. The vehicle engine should be off,
transmission should be in park and/or the parking
brake set. The front wheels should be straight and
the plow blade pivot angle should be set to the straight
position before installing the plow.
Debris such as rocks, dirt, and branches can
become lodged in the plow mount while operating
the vehicle without the plow. Inspect the mount for
any debris, damage and to make sure fasteners are
properly torqued before installing or using the plow.
The plow retaining pins are secured to the mount
by a bail. This bail can become damaged with use.
Inspect the bail to make sure that it locks firmly to the
mount. Remove the pin and bend the bail wire as
needed to insure that it fits tightly to the mount. See
figure 9.
WARNING
Vehicle weight balance and stability can be greatly
changed when a plow is attached and when the vehicle
is pushing a loaded plow. With this change, steering and
vehicle control will be different.
Always operate the vehicle at a low speed with the blade
installed. Never exceed 5 mph (8 km/h), even with blade
up. Use low range if vehicle is equipped.

Always inspect, rope, hook, and slings before operating
winch. Frayed, kinked or damaged rope must be replaced
immediately. Damaged components must be replaced
before operation. Protect parts from damage.
Always be sure the latch lever handle is fully engaged
before plowing. In some instances it may be necessary
to push the handle to engage it into the plow base.
Failure to properly engage the plow may result in loss
of vehicle control which can lead to vehicle damage,
personal injury, or even death.
Connecting the Winch Line
The winch line will need to be rigged in a double
line configuration. The line will come out of the winch,
down and around the pulley assembly and back up to
a termination point on the vehicle. Please refer to the
plow mount kit for the specific routing of the winch line.
Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling rope.
Always follow adjustment procedure. Doing so will
minimize potential for hand injury.
