What is the difference between a T-Frame mount and a Custom mount?
The T-frame (Universal) style snow plows (Hitch-Mounted Series) mount on to any vehicle with a standard 2” class III front mount receiver. The custom mount snow plows (Summit II, Rampage II, Storm II) use a set of vehicle specific mounting brackets joined by a cross member which connects the plow frame to the frame of your vehicle.
My Custom Mount is not lining up?
First thing you should do is double check you have the proper custom mount for your vehicle. You can check our mount guide at https://detailk2.com/snow-plows-mount-guide. It is important to loosely install both left and right mounting brackets first. Then loosely install the cross member between the left and right bracket. Go back and tighten left and right bracket then finally the cross member should be tightened into place. Please note: there may be non-essential parts that will need to be removed before installation of the custom mount kit (i.e. front skirt, tow bar, etc.). If you require further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to support@detailk2.com and we will provide assistance.
Can I drive on the streets with the Snow Plow attached to my vehicle?
To ensure compliance with road safety and regulation, a snowplow light kit is required in order to drive on any road. Please abide by local road laws and regulations as they can vary by location. We recommend you stay off of highways and stick to streets instead. Before driving on any road, it is always important make sure the safety clips or the hitch pin are secured and your plow is safely mounted to your vehicle. You are required to use the safety chain while you aren’t plowing to take stress off your winch strap.
How high should I set my skid shoes?
The operator of the plow can decide how high to set the skid shoes. We recommend setting them about 1/4 of an inch below the scraper blade. The skid shoes will help protect the surface you are plowing and also prevent wear on your scraper blade.
Can I drive on the highway with my plow?
Yes you can drive on the highway with your plow but we do not recommend driving far distances with the plow on the front of your vehicle. If you are driving with the blade on make sure to angle the blade to the left or right.
My winch won't work and I hear a clicking sound?
If you hear a clicking there is a good chance your winch relay (black control box) isn’t working. You can check that your winch is fine by hooking up a power source directly to the winch and by pass the control box. If the winch works fine you need a new WCB (winch control box).

This is a sign that you have a defective WCB (winch control box). Please reach out to support@detailk2.com or submit a warranty claim at https://detailk2.com/warranty

How do I properly fill the hydraulic oil for my EVEREST Snowplow?
(1) Ensure all connections between the hydraulic hoses, pump connections, as well as actuator connections are tight and secure.
(2) Open the cap of the reservoir and fill to the ADD line.
(3) Once the reservoir is full, turn on the plow and cycle through all motions (up, down, left, right). This will ensure all air is out of the system.
(4) Now that the plow has been cycled through all motions, top off to the fill line indicated on the clear reservoir.
(5) Repeat Step 3 and fill as needed, you want to ensure the air is out of the hydraulic system prior to use.
(6) Always monitor the connections and fittings for any leaks or damage, as well as checking the hydraulic fluid level prior to use. This is crucial to ensure the plow operates as designed each use.
