5. คู่มือการใช้งาน

Once installed, the plow system is ready for operation. Familiarize yourself with the controls and functions before beginning snow removal tasks.

Plow Operation:

• Blade Angling: The plow blade can be manually unlocked, moved to a 45-degree angle (left or right), or set straight, and then relocked. This allows for directional plowing to clear a wide path.
• ความสูงในการยก: The system provides over 30 inches of lift height, allowing for clearance over obstacles and efficient snow stacking.
• Winch Usage: A winch (not included) is required to raise and lower the plow blade. The plow chassis offers multiple points for winch cable attachment. Typically, only 6-10 inches of winch cable travel are needed for full range of motion.
• Skid Adjustment: Adjust the plow skids to the appropriate height for your plowing surface. Washers and shims are provided for fine-tuning. It is recommended to set the skids to keep the wear bar approximately 1/4 inch above the surface, especially when plowing over asphalt, to prevent damage.
• สิ่งที่แนบมา/การถอด: The plow system easily connects and disconnects from the UTV using two hitch pins and the winch cable. Align the plow, lift one side to insert a hitch pin, then repeat for the other side.

6. การบำรุงรักษา

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your KFI snow plow kit.

• การทำความสะอาด: After each use, especially when plowing corrosive materials like salt, clean the plow blade and all components thoroughly.
• การตรวจสอบ: Periodically inspect all bolts, nuts, and pins for tightness. Re-tighten any loose fasteners. Check for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion on the plow blade, push tubes, mount, and springs.
• Wear Bar: The 2-sided 3/16" x 3.00" Grade 50 Steel Wear Bar is designed for durability. Inspect it regularly for wear. When one side is worn, it can be flipped to utilize the second edge. Replace the wear bar when both sides are worn down.
• การหล่อลื่น: Lubricate all pivot points and moving parts with appropriate grease or lubricant to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• การเคลือบผง: The components are powder coated for protection. If the coating is scratched or chipped, touch up with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion.
• พื้นที่จัดเก็บ: When not in use, store the plow in a dry, protected area to prevent exposure to elements.

7 การแก้ไขปัญหา

If you encounter issues with your KFI snow plow kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• ไถไม่ยึดติดแน่น: Ensure that the 5/8" hitch pins are fully inserted and secured with cotter pins. Incomplete insertion can cause the plow to detach during operation.
• Plow Not Lifting/Lowering Properly: Check the winch cable for proper routing and tension. Inspect the springs for damage or incorrect installation. Ensure no debris is obstructing the lift mechanism.
• Blade Not Angling: Verify that the blade's locking mechanism is functioning correctly and is not obstructed by dirt or ice. Ensure the release handle moves freely.
• Excessive Wear on Wear Bar: Re-evaluate your skid shoe adjustment. If the wear bar is making too much contact with the plowing surface, it will wear prematurely. Adjust skids to maintain a slight gap.
• เสียงหรือการสั่นสะเทือนที่ผิดปกติ: Stop operation immediately and inspect all connections, bolts, and moving parts for looseness or damage.
