OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
TRANSPORTING THE SNOWPLOW
1. Completely raise the blade.
2. Adjust the blade height for maximum vehicle
headlamp illumination.
3. Adjust the blade to the straight position.
4. Move the control ON/OFF switch to OFF to lock
the blade in place.
NOTE: Overheating is unlikely under normal
driving conditions, but occasionally the snowplow
may be positioned so that it de
fl
ects air away from
the radiator. If this occurs, stop the vehicle and
raise, lower, or angle the snowplow slightly to
correct overheating.
NOTE: Only the driver should be in the vehicle cab
when the snowplow is attached.
WARNING
Position the blade so that it does not block
the vehicle headlamp beams.
Do not change blade position while traveling.
You could suddenly lower the blade
accidentally.
CAUTION
Transport speed should not exceed 45 mph
(72 km/h).
BLADE DROP SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The quill in the front of the valve manifold adjusts the
blade drop speed.
NOTE: The blade will not drop when quill is fully
tightened (clockwise). Turn OFF the plow control,
turn the quill 1/8 turn outward (counterclockwise),
then proceed with blade drop speed adjustment.
1. Lower the blade to the ground before making
adjustment.
2. Remove the hydraulic unit cover.
3. Turn the quill IN (clockwise) to decrease drop
speed. Turn the quill OUT (counterclockwise) to
increase drop speed.
WARNING
Keep 8' clear of the blade when it is being
raised, lowered, or angled. Do not stand
between vehicle and blade or directly in front
of the blade. If the blade hits or drops on you,
you could be seriously injured.
