TRANSPORTING SNOWPLOW
These instructions are for driving short distances.
Remove the snowplow from the vehicle for long trips.
1. Completely raise the blade.
2. Adjust the blade height for maximum headlamp
illumination.
3. Adjust the blade to the straight position.
4. Move the control ON/OFF switch to OFF to lock
the blade in place.
NOTE: Overheating is unlikely under normal
driving conditions, but occasionally the snowplow
may be positioned so it de
fl
ects air away from the
radiator. If this occurs, stop the vehicle and raise,
lower or angle the snowplow slightly to correct
overheating.
NOTE: Only the driver should be in the vehicle cab
when the snowplow is attached.
PARKING WITH SNOWPLOW ATTACHED
Whenever you park your vehicle, completely lower the
blade to the ground.
WARNING
Lower blade when vehicle is parked. Keep
8' clear of blade drop zone. Temperature
changes could change hydraulic pressure,
causing the blade to drop unexpectedly or
damaging hydraulic components. Failure to
do this can result in serious personal injury.
AFTER PLOWING
TOWING DISABLED OR STUCK VEHICLES
Do not use any snowplow components as an attaching
point when retrieving, towing or winching a disabled or
stuck vehicle.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC FLUID
Lower the blade to the ground. The
fl
uid level should
be 1-1/2"–2" below the top of the reservoir. Add
the recommended hydraulic
fl
uid if necessary. For
hydraulic
fl
uid type and
fi
lling instructions, see Annual
Fluid Change in the Hydraulic System section of this
Owner's Manual.
Do not over
fi
ll. Reinstall the breather.
CAUTION
Do not mix different types of hydraulic
fl
uid.
Some
fl
uids are not compatible and may cause
performance problems and product damage.
