Introduction

Whenever service is necessary, your local dealer knows
your plow best and is interested in your complete
satisfaction. Return your snow plow to your local dealer
for maintenance service or any other assistance you may
require. If you are unable to do so, this Trouble Shooting
Guide should help you determine the problem. Also, there
are Repair Manuals available from your local dealer.
However, before attempting the servicing of your plow,
you should possess good mechanical abilities and a total
understanding of the mechanism.

PLEASE: Before calling parts and service personnel be
certain that:

1. You have read this guide carefully and are certain 

that all of the suggestions pertaining to your problem
have been attempted.

2. You have the following information available.

A.  Date Snow Plow was originally installed.
B.  Power Pack Model Number.

C.  Power Pack Serial Number.
D.  Controller Serial Number.

E.  Blade Model Number.

F.  Blade Serial Number.

G.  Pump Serial Number.

This information should be recorded on page 2 of this
Owners Manual.

Troubleshooting-Quick 
Reference General

1. Check to see that controller is “on”.

2. Check all wiring to be sure that battery terminals are 

clean and connections to battery, circuit breaker,
solenoid, switches and all connectors on plow harness
are clean and tight.

3. Check oil level in hydraulic system reservoir.

4. Check for external leakage at cylinders, hoses and 

power unit.

5. Check the voltage at the coils which operate the 

solenoid valves to be sure that the voltage at the coils is a
minimum of 9-1/2 volts DC.
