Frame to Moldboard Assembly 3
FRAME TO MOLDBOARD ASSEMBLY
1. Place moldboard face down on cardboard
or other padding that will prevent scratches
in the paint.
Remove two side markers and four ship-
ping straps from the ends of the moldboard.
NOTE: Additional compression springs are in-
cluded with 8 1/2’ moldboards. Remove springs
and set aside for reassembly.
2. Open the frame box and set aside the hard-
ware bag, power unit box and electronics box
for later assembly. Remove the frame as-
sembly from the shipping box to a piece of
cardboard or other padding that will prevent
scratches in the paint.
NOTE: If assembling an 8 1/2’ plow, remove
endcaps from compression springs and install
an extra spring inside each existing spring.
Place endcaps on springs and tighten 3/4” lock
nuts on pullrods until the outer springs measure
13” long. Do not overtighten springs.
3. Gently tip the plow assembly to its working
position with a hoist or forklift. Pin the
parking stand to hold the square tubes of
the push frame parallel to the ground.
DWG NO. 4201A
NOTE: The bottom surface inside the two prong
receiver channels should measure about 10”
above the ground in the working position.
Carefully lift the frame assembly by wrap-
ping straps or padded chains around both
ends of the 2 1/2” square tube at the rear of
the frame. Attach the frame assembly to the
moldboard by lining up the three bushings
on the frame with the three sets of bushings
on the moldboard.
Apply commercially available anti-seize lu-
bricant (not supplied) to the hinge pins to
prevent future corrosion, and reinstall the
hinge pins through the bushings. Secure
the hinge pins with spring pins.
Remove 3/4” lock nuts from the back of
each compression spring and discard. Align
each pullrod bushing with the upper set of
holes in the moldboard ribs and reinstall
5/8” bolts and lock nuts. Tighten lock nuts
only until snug against ribs.
Assemble new 3/4” lock nuts back onto
pullrods and tighten until compression
springs measure 13” long. Do not overtight-
en springs.
