TESTING YOUR SNOWPLOW
1. Fill the hydraulic pump reservoir with BLIZZARD
®
SNOWPLOW RAPID ACTION HYDRAULIC OIL
until it is approximately 3/4" from the top of the
tank. Replace the cap on the reservoir. Remove
the weather caps from each of the plow and
vehicle harnesses and connect the plugs. Start the
vehicle and turn the power switch on the control
station in the cab to the "ON" position.
2. To raise the POWER HITCH™ arm on the
snowplow, turn the power switch on the control
station to the "UP" or "ON" position. Push and hold
the toggle switch on the A-frame upward into the
"CONNECT" position. Notice the action of the fluid
in the reservoir. By activating the initial hydraulic
function, the fluid begins to fill the system. Push
and hold the toggle switch in the "DISCONNECT"
position, the POWER HITCH arm will lower. Refill
the reservoir until the fluid is approximately 3/4"
from the top of the tank.
WARNING
You can die or be seriously injured. Keep
hands and feet away from hitch mechanism
and snowplow blade when operating the
POWER HITCH™ arm. The action of the arm
moves the snowplow toward the vehicle and
into position for proper attachment.
3. Align the POWER HITCH arm on the A-frame
below the pushbeam, with the receiver plates in
line with the receiver plates on the undercarriage.
Pull out the A-frame latch pin and rotate the
A-frame latch clockwise until the latch is resting on
the draw pin. Move the snowplow in position by
activating the POWER HITCH connect switch and
release.
The POWER HITCH arm will rise until it hits the
pushbeam and the draw latch fingers will pull the
plow into the vehicle. The receiver plates on the
plow and vehicle are now positively aligned. Insert
the two hitch pins through the mounting holes on
the A-frame and secure each with one hair pin
cotter.
After the two hitch pins are inserted through the
A-frame, lower the POWER HITCH arm using the
toggle switch on the A-frame. Rotate the
A-frame latch counterclockwise until the A-frame
latch lock pin can be reinserted. Fully reinserting
the A-frame latch lock pin will lock the A-frame
latch in place for transport or plowing snow. (See
below.)
