MOUNTING & DISMOUNTING
INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING
1.
Position vehicle close to the plow and align mounting points on the undercarriage and
A-frame. Verify that the plow kickstand is in the lowered position. Turn vehicle ignition off.
2.
Turn power supply switch on the main plow control unit in the vehicle to the “OFF” position.
3.
Remove protective weather caps and make electrical connection at the plow and vehicle.
4. Turn the vehicle ignition and the power supply switch on the control unit to the “ON”
position. Pull the A-frame latch lock pin outward and verify that the A-frame latch lowers
over the draw latch extension spring mount.
5.
Activate the Power Hitch on the A-frame by pushing and holding the “CONNECT/
DISCONNECT” switch (on the pump cover housing) upward.
CAUTION: Keep
fingers away from plow and truck mounting points. Power Hitch will
automatically pull the plow into the receiving points on the truck
when activated.
Insert both hitch pins through the positively aligned holes
on the plow and undercarriage and secure each with a hair pin cotter.
6. With the plow securely mounted, slightly lower the Power Hitch to relieve
tension on the A-frame latch, pull the latch lock pin and raise the A-frame
latch until it locks into position. Raise the Power Hitch and verify that the
draw latch is fully engaged behind the push beam on the vehicle. Rotate
the kickstand counterclockwise until it locks into place. The plow is now
properly mounted and ready to operate.
DISMOUNTING
1.
Lower the plow on a flat, level surface to dismount. Turn vehicle ignition off.
2.
Pull the kickstand lock pin outward and rotate the kickstand clockwise. Release the pin
to lock kickstand in place. Remove both hitch pins from the A-frame and undercarriage.
3.
Turn the vehicle ignition and the power supply switch on the control unit to the “ON”
position. Activate the Power Hitch by pushing and holding the “CONNECT/DISCONNECT”
switch downward.
CAUTION: Keep fingers away from plow and truck mounting points.
Verify that the draw latch is fully disengaged from behind the push beam on the vehicle.
4.
Turn power supply switch on the main plow control unit in the vehicle to the “OFF” position.
5.
Disconnect wire harnesses at the plow and vehicle. Replace protective weather caps.
