Placing Your Plow In Storage
1. Position your plow on a flat, level surface for storage. Follow the dismount-
ing procedure illustrated on page 13.
2. Apply white lithium grease to all electrical plugs and connections. Clean
and install all dust caps.
3. Lubricate all exposed hydraulic cylinder rod ends with liquid white lithium
grease.
4. Touch-up all rust spots or chipped paint with white Blizzard paint. Contact
your local dealer for availability.
5. Remove and properly discard the fluid in the pump reservoir. Clean the
pump filter and replace the Blizzard Snowplow Rapid Action Hydraulic Oil
to within 3/4" from the top of the reservoir. Changing the fluid annually will
prolong the life of your pump and manifold.
6. Cover the snowplow with a tarp if stored outside. This will protect your plow
from sun fading and inclement weather which can lead to accelerated
corrosion.
Removing Your Plow From Storage
1. Perform all regular maintenance indicated on the previous page.
2. If you have not replaced the hydraulic oil in the pump reservoir, it is strongly
encouraged that you do so prior to operating your plow.
3. Follow the mounting procedure illustrated on page 13.
4. Once the plow has been properly mounted to the vehicle and all electrical
connections have been made, initiate all of the functions of the snowplow.
Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir and fill to 3/4" from the top of the
tank if needed.
5. Adjust the snowplow headlights as needed.
