ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For twelve months from the date of purchase, Nordic Plow LLC warrants against
the defects due to workmanship or materials to the original purchaser. If a
defect does exist, it will be obvious to the eye before assembly and we will
promptly replace any defective part.
The plastic components of the plow are designed to break under extreme stress
to minimize damage to the vehicle and are not considered a defect. To minimize
this breakage, we stress the user to read the tip sheets offered and review
the videos available at www.nordicplow.com. Any used and/or broken components
can be replaced at a nominal
charge by calling 888-662-PLOW (7569) or by visiting our website.
Once a plow is used, it cannot be resold, and thus will not be accepted as a

freight charges will be assessed for any returned unopened and unused.

INSTRUCTIONS FAQS & TIPS
SAFETY
Read and understand the plow instructions, Warranty, FAQs, and Tips before
use. Scan the QRC instructional videos on the first page or watch the videos
on our website before use. (www.nordicplow.com) Always instruct other users
before they use the plow.
OPERATION
Risk of Injury – Never allow children to handle the plow. Never allow
anyone to walk beside or sit on the plow when in use. Never operate the plow
over 2 to 3 mph. Keep a slow steady speed. If you hit an obstruction,
immediately stop and reverse direction.
INSTRUCTIONS CLARIFICATION
STEP 1 : Make sure the extended tab on each blade channel (ref #2) is
facing the same direction.
STEP 2: Do not over-tighten the self-taping screw(ref #26).
STEP 3 : Finger tightens locknuts (ref #21) at this point in the assembly
process.
STEP 4: The spanner channel (ref #5) has a set of holes on one end. Make
sure they are both facing the same direction. Once everything is in place go
ahead and tighten the entire assembly.
NOTE : Be sure not to overtighten any locknuts. Over tightening can crush
the horizontal steel channel and weaken the assembly.
STEP 5 : Using a ¾” wrench and socket, fully tighten locknuts (ref #25)
and then back off slightly so brackets can easily pivot from side to side.
STEP 6 : Install 2 lock rods (ref #11) down through alignment holes as
shown to keep the pivot bracket assembly from moving side to side during
installation. Place the leading fins of the pivot bracket into the spanner
channel and install 2 Clevis pins (ref #27) and R Clips (ref #28).
STEP 7: Attach upper spring brackets (ref #6 & 7) to the top rail. Make
sure to use the bottom two holes when installing the brackets. Install the two
springs as shown. Tighten locknut (ref #22) onto the eyebolt (ref #29) until
there is tension on the spring.
FAQs
How long will the plow last?
The lightweight, rounded-edge design reduces friction and wear of the blade.
The bottom edge will show signs of pits and scratches, but this is normal and
willnot degrade the eversible blade. In the event too much wear occurs simply
reverse the spanner channels and use the opposite edge.
Where is the cutting edge?
The plow’s angle, combined with its weight and that of the machine and
operator, provides sufficient force to get the job done. It may not pick up
hard, packed down snow or ice.
Can I use it on uneven surfaces?
Yes – our rounded edge is safe on paver bricks, tarps, grass, and most uneven
surfaces without causing damage to the blade or surface being plowed.
Will the Nordic Plow leave arks on the pavement?
No – Nordic plow’s polycarbonate blade will not leave marks on your driveway,
unlike traditional steel plows that can leave rust and scratches on the
pavement.
The best tip we can give you is to always plow at a slow safe speed. This
will protect the equipment and the driver. Have fun and enjoy moving some
snow!
