This snowplow is designed for residential snow removal.

Please remember to use the right tool for the job at hand. Avoid overtaxing your

snowplow.

Take care using it to clear thick, heavy (wet) snow.

Your snowplow is not intended to clear the snow deposits created by large

municipal or commercial snowplows, which contain heavy compacted, frozen

lumps of snow and ice, and could damage the plow and vehicle.

If you have any questions or problems with your snowplow, including set-up

difficulties, broken or missing parts, etc.), do not return with it to the store. Please

call our service line at +44 (0)1942 715 407.

We reserve the right to change product design and specifications without notice or

obligation.

for safe operation in this manual. As with any type of power equipment,

carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury.

This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet. Failure to observe the

following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

To use this equipment properly, you must observe the safety regulations, the

assembly instructions and the operating instructions to be found in this manual. All

persons who use and service the snowplow must be informed about its potential

hazards and must be acquainted with this manual. Children should be supervised

at all times if they are in the area in which the snowplow is being used. It is also

imperative that you observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your

area. The same applies for general rules of occupational health and safety.

The vehicle with the snowplow installed must comply with applicable motor vehicle

safety standards and with the vehicle manufacturer’s stated gross vehicle and axle

weight ratings (found on the driver’s side door corner post of the vehicle) as well

as the front and rear weight distribution ratio. In some cases, rear ballast may be

required to comply with these requirements. (See Ballast Requirements below.)

The weights of front seat occupants can be adjusted above 136 kg (300 lb.), but

the total vehicle weight with snowplow must not exceed vehicle GVWR or GAWR.

Installation, modi

cation and addition of accessories must comply with

manufacturers’ and regulators’ published recommendations and instructions.

Available capacity decreases as the vehicle is loaded with cargo or other truck

equipment or as snowplow accessories are installed.

If there is uncertainty as to whether available capacity exists, the actual vehicle as

congured must be weighed.



Because of the front/rear axle weight ratio, ballast (additional weight) is important

in qualifying vehicles for snowplow eligibility. Rear ballast must be used when

necessary to remain in compliance with axle ratings and ratios as specied by the

vehicle manufacturer.

Ballast, if required, must be retained correctly behind the rear axle, distributed

evenly across the width of the vehicle. The weight of the ballast retainer should be

considered part of the ballast weight. We recommend sand bags for ballast.

Assuming the blade assembly is held in a

vertical position, insert the skid shoes into

the skid shoe holders from below. Hold

a little play.

12. Align the D frame’s 3 attachment points with

the two vertical centre ribs of each plow

blade panel as well as the double, joined

vertical ribs in the middle of the plow (g.14). Insert clevis pins through each

attachment point and the vertical ribs on the back of the blade. Secure the

clevis pins (23, g.15) in place with cotter pins and bend them so they remain in

place.

13. If not already done, attach the 2 xed castors to the castor holder shafts

shaft and slide it from below into the shaft holder in the A frame. Lock it with the

castor adjustment pin so that the frame is horizontal and the blade vertical.

15. Hook the trip springs (18, g.15) into the holes in the top cross rib at the back of

each plow blade panel (37/38h, g.15). Attach the springs to the angle plates on

the D frame (5a, g.15) using for each an M12 gr.8 eyebolt (17, g.15), M12 nut,

2 12 mm washers and an M12 Nylock nut.

16. Tighten the Nylock nuts to the point where the springs are just tight. Then turn

the Nylock nut, shortening the take-up by 6 mm (1/4 inch) further so the springs

open slightly. Snug up the inner M12 nut to hold the assembly tight.

1. Before beginning to plow, always check the hitch pin installation; that it is

correctly installed through the hole on hitch receiver. Pull strongly forward on

the plow. It should not move out of the receiver.

2. In heavy, continuing snowfalls, do not delay; plow regularly every 8 to 15 cm

(3 to 6 inches) of snow accumulation. With heavy, wet snow increase the

3. To plow higher snow drifts, raise the blade and remove layer of snow from the

top, lowering the blade by degrees on successive passes until the full depth is

removed.

4. Do not allow the snow to become icy. Plowing immediately after each snowfall

reduces the possibility the plow be used to break through ice.

5. Be familiar with the area being plowed or have someone who is familiar point

out hazards. Exercise caution because hidden obstacles can inflict severe

damage to both plow and vehicle.

6. Keep a distance of a metre (3 ft.) from obstacles such as building walls,

telephone poles, and gates because the vehicle may slip sideways and cause

the plow to contact them.

7. Ramming into a pile of snow will void your warranty and may cause damage to

your vehicle. This plow is not designed for ice blocks

8. Do not attempt plowing snow at speeds above 15 km/h (10 mph). Faster may

overload the unit or contribute to loss of control of the vehicle.

9. Should the plow appear to hop when plowing, a reduction in speed is

recommended.

10. The Summit snowplow will, by design, trip forward if overloaded or on striking

an obstacle buried under the snow. The trip springs will then pull it back to the

correct position. Before carrying on with caution, it is prudent to search out any

hidden obstacles.
