Special Fasteners Torques and Require-
ments
IMPORTANT:
Incorrectly securing fasteners may
result in incorrect operation, excessive wear, and
early failure of plow components. It may also void
your warranty.
• ALWAYS check to make sure you are using the
correct torque specification for the fastener you are
using.
• DO NOT use any lubricants on the threads of any
fastener unless specifically called for in the
assembly or maintenance story for that component.
• NEVER use liquid locking materials, such as
Locktite™ or Threadmaker™, on any fasteners
unless specifically called for in an assembly or
maintenance story for that component.
Standard Fasteners:
The Torque Specifications Chart on page 34 of this
manual should be used as the guide for fastener torque
requirements for most standard fasteners used on the
plow.
Standard fasteners with special torque requirements will
be noted in assembly or service stories pertaining to the
specific piece of equipment.
Hydraulic Fittings
Hydraulic fittings with lock nuts should be assembled with
at least three full turns of the fitting in the port and then the
lock nut should be tightened to 27 lb-ft.
Hydraulic fittings with 37 degree flare end swivels should
be torqued to 18-20 lb-ft.
Hydraulic Cylinders
To avoid corrosion during storage, coat the exposed
(chrome) portion of the lift and angle cylinders with a light
grease.
Electrical Quick Disconnect Plugs
This plow is equipped with the EIS® (Energy Interruption
System
TM
). Any time the plow is removed from the
vehicle, plug the electrical lighting quick disconnect ends
together to prevent corrosion from forming on terminal
ends.
Fluid Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Sno-Way supplies type 5606 Sno-Way
Hydraulic Oil with the unit from the factory. If
additional oil is added it must be compatible with
Sno-Way oil.
It is recommended that the fluid in the hydraulic system be
changed once a season.
Do NOT use synthetic oil.
Oil must contain an anti-foam additive.

CAUTION
• Using the proper oil increases the life
expectancy of the most critical part of your
plow; the Hydraulic power unit.
• Failure to use the proper oil can cause
extensive damage to the power unit, seals and
hydraulic rams.
• Improper oil can cause operating problems and
poor performance in cold weather.
