Removing Snow Plow From Vehicle

Choose a location for the plow storage, which will allow
the plow to be removed from the vehicle and not be
moved after removal. Also, choose a location that will not
allow the plow stand to sink into the ground. A dry,
protected area is recommended.

1. Lower plow to the ground, put vehicle in park, turn off 

the engine and set the parking brake.

2. Disconnect the plow lights from the truck light 

harness (See Figure 1-8). Disconnect the plow control
harness and replace the protective cap.

Figure  1-8

3. To prevent corrosion on the contacts, plug the male 

and female connectors on the plow together (See Figure
1-9).

4. To make the truck lights operable, plug the male and 

female connectors on the truck light harness together
(See Figure 1-9).

Figure  1-9

5. Turn Down Pressure ON and then OFF.

6. Rotate pin handles up (straight out) to unlock main 

pins. (See Figure 1-11).

WARNING

Failure to reconnect the main light harness on
the truck when removing plow will cause truck
lights to not operate, which could cause an
accident. Test lights before operating.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW CAN RESULT IN INJURY 

OR DEATH

CAUTION

When disconnecting the plow control harness,
turn only the locking nut at the end of the
connector. Do not turn the threaded boot.
Turning the threaded boot will break the wires
in the harness and cause the controller to stop
functioning. (See Figure 1-10).
