8.2 HYDRAULIC WINGS
The snowplow may be configured in different ways using its hydraulic power. Always 
configure the wings and plow with caution.

This equipment has two (2) hydraulic wings, one on each side of the blade. The wings 
can be articulated 180 degrees. Onyly use hydraulic power to rotate the wings. Never 
try to exceed limitations of the wing’s rotation.

IMPORTANT: 

Always keep the hydraulic wings slightly open. Avoid working in the 

fully closed position.

Operating the snowplow with the wings in a fully boxed position may create 
damage to the surface and severly increase wear to the equipment.

Warning

 : Hydraulic wings may come in contact with the tires of the vehicle it is 

attached to. The operator must exercise caution and adjust the position of the 
wings to prevent them from coming in contact with the tires. Metal Pless shall not 
be liable for any damages caused to tires.

BE CAREFUL. DO NOT OPERATE THE HYDRAULIC 
WINGS IF SOMEONE IS STANDING NEARBY.

WARNING

Operation of the diverter valve is controlled by either a two button joystick grip, a 
three position rocker switch, or a direct pin wiring. 

- It is important to note that the rocker switch must remain in the center position 
when the hydraulic wings are not in use to avoid burning out the DIN connectors or 
the wiring harness.
- When using a direct pin it may be necessary to contact your dealership to ascertain 
which controles are required whitin the cab of the vehice to operate the snow plow’s 
different functions.
