MOUNTING SNOWPLOW (ON)

NOTE: Use dielectric grease to prevent corrosion 
on all connections.

1.  Slowly drive the vehicle forward to engage the 

mount adapter into the A-frame.

2.  Move the Power switch to the center, or "OFF," 

position.

3.  Plug in electrical harnesses.

4.  Push and hold the Power switch RIGHT, and push 

UP and hold the Arm/Blade Operation switch. The 
arm will engage the mount adapter and pull the 
snowplow toward the vehicle.

MOUNTING SNOWPLOW TO VEHICLE

 WARNING

Keep 8' clear of the blade when it is being 
raised, lowered or angled. Do not stand 
between the vehicle and blade or directly in 
front of the blade. If the blade hits or drops on 
you, you could be seriously injured.

 WARNING

Inspect snowplow components and fasteners 
for wear or damage whenever mounting or 
removing the snowplow. Worn or damaged 
components could allow the snowplow to 
drop unexpectedly.

5.  Rotate and release the hitch pin. The hitch pin is 

fully engaged when the pin handle is against the 
pin guide plate.

6.  Repeat Step 5 on the passenger's side.

7.  While holding the Power switch RIGHT, push 

DOWN and hold the Arm/Blade Operation switch. 
The arm will disengage the mount adapter to 
relieve tension on the stand.

8.  Pull the stand handle up. The stand will lift off the 

ground. Pull the stand pin out. Rotate the stand up 
until the stand pin seats into the upper hole on the 
A-frame. The pin must lock into the upper A-frame 
hole.

9.  Repeat Step 8 on the passenger's side.

10.  Move the Power switch to the left, or "PLOWING," 

position.
