NOTE: If your plow is not equipped with down pressure 
hydraulics you will have to manually rotate the light lift bar 
into position by placing plow in float mode and pushing 
on the light bar.

4. Put plow into float position by turning down pressure 

off. Rotate pin handles forward to lock upper hitch pins in
place. (See Figure 1-16).

NOTE: Upper hitch pins are fully engaged when pin han-
dle is tight against pin bracket and you cannot see the 
upper hitch pin between the pin bracket and pin handle. 
If upper hitch pins are not fully engaged: 
A. Raise plow an inch off the ground, then lower. Or,
B. Turn Down Pressure ON and then OFF.
Upper hitch pins will snap into place.

Figure  1-16

5. Unplug plow from control.

6. Disengage both jack stand pins by pulling on 

handles. Raise the jack stand and engage the bottom pin
by pushing on the handle. Make sure pin is engaged in
hole by rotating jack stand back and forth. (See Figure 1-
17).

WARNING

Make sure that upper hitch pins are engaged
before moving truck. Hitch pins not fully
engaged could result in the plow separating
from the truck.
