DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT AT NIGHT OR WHEN VISIBILITY IS POOR UNLESS YOUR UTV HAS ADEQUATE LIGHTING. 9. DUE TO THE EXTRA LENGTH OF THE 72 (1.83 m) BLADE, LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY RESULT WHEN PUSHING HEAVY MATERIAL. USE CAUTION! OPERATION TIPS For best results set the suspension to the stiffest setting if possible. MAINTENANCE Periodically check for wear and tightness of all fasteners. Replace or tighten as necessary. Grease all pivot points and hinges as needed. NOTICE The use of winch mounting kits not manufactured by Cycle Country Accessories with Work Power Blades will void all warranties. The Cycle Country Winch Kits are specifically designed to help prevent damage to the Plows, Winch Kits and ATV's. All references to right and left are relative to an operator sitting on the machine. OPERATION Your blade and hardware were designed with your safety in mind. In order to protect you and your UTV, certain parts of the blade and/or hardware are designed to fail when the equipment is over stressed. For this reason the push tubes, blade hinges, foot peg brackets, push plate attaching pins and clevis pins are not covered by warranty. 1. The blade angle is adjustable. To rotate the blade left, right or straight, lock blade in the up position, pull the blade position lever ahead and turn the blade to the desired position. The lever will spring back when the blade is at the correct angle. 2. The blade skids are adjustable to set the desired clearance between the plow and the ground. 3. The blade is designed to trip when it strikes an object or digs in too far. When pressure is released the blade springs back into position. Blade spring tension may be set stiffer by tightening the locknuts on the bottom of the eyebolts. For less spring tension, loosen the locknuts. 2
