What happens here
The Defiance Snowplow features a segmented trip edge, with four independent segments for the main blade and separate segments for each wing. This design allows individual sections of the cutting edge to trip independently when encountering obstacles, reducing shock to the vehicle and potential damage to the plow. A unique electronic control module, housed within the plow (soon to be integrated into the pump housing), utilizes sensors on each wing and the main blade. This 'logic' system senses the position of the main blade and wings, preventing the wings from retracting too far and colliding with the truck's side, thus safeguarding the vehicle from damage.
Goal: Understand the advanced safety and control features integrated into the Defiance Snowplow.
