How does the SnowSport Install to my vehicle?
The SnowSport personal utility plow hooks up the the front
receiver (2" square tube) hitch just like hooking up a receiver
on a hitch used at the rear of a vehicle for towing trailers.
Is a front receiver hitch needed?
Yes, and it is included with the plow package along with instructions
to install it.
How difficult is it to install the hitch and plow?
The front end hitches are designed to bolt in place on most models
- sometimes certain models my require drilling. The instructions
are clear cut. The front receiver hitch is mounted to the vehicle
and the push frame is plugged into the front receiver hitch. The
plow simply hangs on the push frame.
Can I install the SnowSport Plow myself?
YES, the instructions are clear cut. If you do need assistance,
call 1-800-233-4655 between 9-5pm CST. Our customers overwhelmingly
say "it was simple and easy to install". The front hitch
varies from vehicle to vehicle. Plan about 30 minutes to 1 hour
depending on your level of experience. The plow is attached in minutes
by plugging in the push frame and attaching the plow to it.
How is the SnowSport Plow shipped?
It is shipped via common carrier in three boxes. The plow box, push
frame box, and receiver hitch box.
How easy is the SnowSport Plow to hookup or unhook between
jobs?
It's very easy. Just insert the push frame into the front receiver
hitch and secure with pin. Then hang the blade one end at a time
onto the push frame (can be done in less than a minute). Unhooking
is just a easy.
How do you switch from transporting to plowing or from plowing
to transporting?
The operator must manually unhook the plow and lower it for plowing.
For transporting simply lift the blade, one side at a time, onto
the push frame.
How can the SnowSport Plow operate without hydraulics?
The blade is secured by the push frame. As you push the snow, the
blade travels up and down as needed by gravity. The rubber cutting
edge is designed to cut through the snow but pass over the harder
ground surfaces below and be gentle on grass. When you back up,
the blade automatically lays back, skimming over the surface. Then
you drive forward and the blade re-engages for plowing.
How well does the rubber cutting edge and box ends hold up
& how long will they last?
The rubber cutting edge is 1" think 6" high - made of
a hard rubber compound. This has been tested and proven to provide
years of service. It can be replaced relatively inexpensively.
What is the warranty?
The plow has a 1-year limited warranty. See the owner's manual for
details.
Can I move the SnowSport from one vehicle to another?
Yes, the plow can be easily transferred to another vehicle; all
you need is a front receiver hitch.
