SNOWPLOW ASSEMBLY
6. Assemble the D frame (fig.10) on top of the A frame (fig. 11). With the rounded
portion of the D frame held so it slides under the angle bracket (a, fig.10) on top
of the A frame and the centre hole engages the angle locking pin (12, fig.10),
connect the two frames using the pivot bolt. This is a 75 mm (2.95") M6 gr.8 hex
head bolt with a 16 mm washer (8, fig.10), inserted from below the hole in the
apex of the "A" of the A frame, through the pivot bolt sleeve. It goes up through
a hole in the centre of the straight side of the "D" in the D frame. Hold this in
place with an M16 Nylock nut. (fig.12, below)
7. Attach the main frame to the A frame using the two frame pins (7, fig 13). Lock
the pins into the A frame with an M8 x 52 mm gr.8 hex head bolt (42, fig 13)
inserted through an 8 mm washer, then the top of the frame at each end and
secured with M8 nylock nuts.
8. If not already attached, bolt the winch to the top of the main frame with 4 M8 x
30 mm gr 8 hex head bolts, 8 mm washers, and M8 Nylock nuts; the bolts being
inserted from the front through the winch base
9. Remove the gr.8 U-bolt from the top of the A frame, attach the lower end of the
winch strap to it and re-attach. The strap should feed over top of the barrel of
the winch toward the front and down to the attachment point on the A frame.
(fig.13). The U-bolt should not be tightened fully. It should have a little play.
10. Dis-regard steps 8 and 9 if using the DK2 Elite electric actuator kit. For help with
actuator kit installation, visit https://www.dk2snowplows.com/faq; or call our toll

11. 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 (fig.14). Insert clevis pins through each attachment point and the vertical
ribs on the back of the blade. Secure the clevis pins (23, fig.15) in place with
cotter pins and bend them so they remain in place.
12. If not already done, attach the 2 flip-down fixed castors to the inside edge of the
last ribs on each end of the snow plow blade by bolting them to the rib. When
plowing make sure to flip castors up and insert the pin to avoid damage while
plowing.
13. If not already done, attach the swivel castor to the castor holder shaft and
slide it from below into the shaft holder in the A frame. Lock it with the castor
