If you are experiencing difficulties with your plow, please consult the troubleshooting tips below. This is intended as a
guide, to assist you in resolving common technical issues and performing simple adjustments. If you require further
assistance, please contact the Snow Bear Customer Service department at 1.800.337.2327.
1. Plow rocks or tips from side to side.
a.
Your plow is intended to rock from side to side by 8 to 10 inches. This will help to compensate for
differences in the terrain that you are plowing, and should not be reduced by adding shims or washers.
b. If the plow is rocking excessively, check the 5/8" pivot bolt (#6) to ensure that there is no more than ¼"
of free play. The 5/8" lock nut can be tightened, if required.
c.
Check the springs and eye bolts to ensure that there is adequate tension. If the springs appear loose,
tighten the lock nuts on the eye bolts to ¼" past the point of tension.
2. Winch strap is breaking.
a.
The single most common cause of a broken strap is lack of free movement in the U Bolt, where the strap
attaches to the A Frame. Ensure that the lock nuts on the U Bolt are sufficiently loose, and there is plenty
of play in the U Bolt.
3. Winch does not engage, or winch hesitates.
a.
Ensure that the battery cable is securely grounded to the negative terminal on your battery. DO NOT
GROUND TO VEHICLE FRAME.
b. Ensure that the switch on the control box (under your hood) is in the "ON" position.
c.
Check your contacts and connectors to ensure that they are secure and free of any dirt or corrosion.
Dielectric grease can be used to protect electrical connections against dirt and corrosion.
4. Plow operation is backwards (i.e. blade lifts when it should lower)
a.
Ensure that the red wire on the 2' winch connector is connected to the positive (top) terminal on the
winch, and the black wire is connected to the negative (bottom) terminal.
5. Wiring, control switch or control box are getting hot.
a.
Circuit breaker must be installed between the red battery cable and the positive terminal on your
battery. Ensure that the breaker bracket is connected between the battery and the brass terminal on the
circuit breaker.
commercial use, and it is not designed to be transported at speeds greater than 10 mph
CAUTION ‐ Disconnect power from the plow, prior to
working on the winch or wiring.
This plow is intended for personal use ONLY. The plow is not rated for
(15 km/hr). Commercial use or travelling above the recommended speeds will void
your warranty and can cause serious damage to the plow, your vehicle, or your person.
