DK2 is proud to bring you the ultimate snowplow solution in our lineup - the DK2 Everest. This prosumer, fully hydraulic snowplow kit provides you the opportunity to clear your parking lot, driveway, or laneway whenever required. With our fully hydraulic system you can raise, lower, and angle the snowplow blade from inside your vehicle using the wired hand-held remote. For extreme durability against the elements and rust, DK2 combines an industrial powder-coated paint finish on the blade with hot-dipped galvanized hardware components to keep your plow looking new for years. The plow itself simply clips to a DK2 custom fitted mounting system and can mount to almost any light truck or SUV.
Please note that this snowplow kit does not include your vehicle-specific custom mount kit - all custom mount kits are sold separately.
It is important to check all nuts and bolts and ensure they are tight before you plow. You can put dielectric grease (petroleum jelly) on the grey quick connection to avoid electrical issues.
My scraper blade pieces don&lsquotet line up?
This is a very common mistake customers make during assembly. The middle section of the scraper blade is the longest piece and the two short ones go on the ends. If they aren’t lining up try flipping the scraper blade over.
Will the plow damage my truck?
Ensure you have read and understand your provided DK2 snowplow manual and follow all instruction before use, this will prevent any potential damage to your vehicle or snowplow. Our snowplows are designed to minimize the wear and tear on your vehicle. We recommend you remove your snowplow when it is not in use.
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.
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.
