the driver’s side. Note: Both of the prongs should be facing up. Align the
outside hole on the diode bracket with the holes on the A-frame and
manifold. Properly replace and tighten all hardware.
12. Hook each EXTENSION SPRING to the 3/4" diameter receiving holes
located on the pivot beam and connect the opposite end of the spring to
their respective SPADE BOLTS. Install the four 5/8"-11 x 6-11/16" spade
bolts through the EXTENSION SPRING MOUNTING ANGLE on the top
rear of the blade. Secure each spade bolt by placing one 5/8" flat washer
on the bolt and thread one 5/8"-11 nylon insert lock nut. Tighten each lock
nut until light appears between the coils of the spring.
13. Install the flexible BLADE GUIDES at the end of each plow wing. Insert
the 5/16"-18 x 1" hex head screw through the holes provided at the top
of the wing reinforcement rib. Tighten all screws using the nylon insert
lock nuts provided.
12-1/2"
The kickstand is mounted to the side of the pivot
beam with one 1/2"-13 x 4-1/2" hex cap screw
and top lock nut. To pivot the kickstand, simply
pull the spring loaded leg out and rotate it until
the pin locks into place. The kickstand also has
an adjustable foot that can be moved to accom-
modate varying vehicle heights. The proper
height of your snowplow mounting points to level
ground should be set at 12-1/2".

1.
Begin the installation by connecting the RED POWER WIRE to the PUMP
motor terminal using the hardware provided on the pump.
2.
Place one 3/8" TOOTH LOCK WASHER, BLACK GROUND WIRE from
the PLOW ELECTRICAL HARNESS and the RED GROUND WIRE on
the COIL WIRE LEAD HARNESS, from the manifold, to the 3/8"-16 x 1"
welded ground bolt on the A-frame. Secure both grounds to the A-frame
with a 3/8"-16 top lock nut.
Note: If your plow only has a hole in the
passenger’s side A-frame angle, a 3/8"-16 x 1" bolt, nut and 3/8" tooth
lock washer can be found in the packaged hardware kit.
3.
Remove the hex jam nut and external tooth lock washer from the POWER
HITCH CONNECT/DISCONNECT TOGGLE SWITCH and insert it through
the back of the mounting bracket on the A-frame. Align the notch in the
key washer on the switch to the notch on the bracket. Replace the lock
washer and jam nut and tighten until the switch is firmly in place. Next,
attach the connector on the plow harness to the switch.
Note: Use caution
when making the connection. Switches can break if done forcefully.
4.
Continue the harness installation by connecting the FEMALE ELECTRIC
CONNECTOR on the harness to the MALE ELECTRIC CONNECTOR
found on the coil wire lead harness attached to the manifold.
Note: If the
plow harness you received contains a separate coil ground wire harness,
disregard this part. The coils on the manifold are grounded to the A-frame.
See step number two above.
5.
Finalize the harness installation by sliding the DIODE PACK over the
diode pack mount bracket located behind the connect/disconnect toggle
switch.Position the wire harness braid in the notch on the switch bracket
and secure it with a nylon tie.The diode pack mount bracket contains an
extra hole for a nylon tie. Use it to secure the pack from moving.
6.
To install the PUMP & MANIFOLD COVER, position it over the rear
brackets on the A-frame and align the notches in the cover with the welded
bolts on the brackets. Secure the cover with two 3/8" washers and wing
nuts. Verify the cover is positioned over the protective toggle switch hood.
Pop the front of the cover on the threaded stud and secure it with one
3/8" washer and wing nut.
