MAINTENANCE
FUSE REPLACEMENT
The vehicle control harness contains two automotive
blade-style fuses. The snowplow control and park/turn
power are both covered by a 10-amp fuse. The control
fuse is "hot" when the vehicle ignition switch is ON
and the electrical connections to the snowplow are
completed.
See the Harness Diagram at the end of this manual for
fuse ratings and locations.
The hydraulic unit harness system contains three
automotive blade-style mini-fuses. The 3-solenoid
coil harness (to Port B on the hydraulic unit module)
contains two 5-amp mini-fuses. The 2-solenoid coil
harness (to Port C on the hydraulic unit module)
contains one 5-amp mini-fuse.
If a problem should occur and fuse replacement is
necessary, the replacement fuse must be of the same
type and amperage rating as the original. Installing a
fuse with a higher rating can damage the system and
could start a
fi re.
VEHICLE
The snowplow operating vehicle shall be maintained
according to manufacturer's recommendations.
Tire pressure shall be maintained according to
manufacturer's recommendation.
RECYCLE
When your snowplow has performed its useful life, the
majority of its components can be recycled as steel or
aluminum. Hydraulic
fl uid shall be disposed according
to local regulations. Balance of parts made of plastic
shall be disposed of in a customary manner.
BLADE FINISH
If the powder-coated fi nish is nicked or scratched,
repair the blade surface with BLIZZARD

black paint (available in aerosol or quart cans from
your BLIZZARD outlet). Clean and repaint parts as
necessary.
