fl
uid level
in the reservoir and
fi
ll to 3/4" from the top of the

Check hoses for wear and leaks.
X
Check cylinders for leaks; inspect rod ends for corrosion and pitting.
X
Check cables for wear or fraying.
X
Lubricate all exposed cylinder rod ends with liquid white lithium grease to prevent corrosion.
X
Check cutting edges and plow shoes for wear.
NOTE: Do not discard plow shoe washers;
these should be retained for different shoe adjustments.
X
Clean and lubricate all electrical plugs and connections with dielectric grease. Clean and
install all dust caps prior to storing.

and replace the hydraulic
fl
uid to within 3/4" from the top of the reservoir. Changing the
fl

Check the trip spring adjustment. Properly adjusted tension will allow a sheet of paper to
pass between the third and fourth coils of the spring.
X
Clean snow and ice build-up from the pump and manifold cover.
X
Pressure wash and dry the entire snowplow prior to storing.
X
Cover the snowplow with a tarp if stored outside. This will protect your snowplow from sun
fading and inclement weather, which can lead to accelerated corrosion.
