PRESEASON CHECK
Before the snow season, check your equipment to
make sure it's in working condition. Here are some
tips for getting your equipment ready:
• Clean and tighten all electrical connections and
coat with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion.
• Check hydraulic system for leaks and cracked or
damaged hoses.
• Drain hydraulic system and re
fi
ll with
recommended hydraulic
fl
uid. For hydraulic
fl
uid
type and
fi
lling instructions, see Hydraulic System,
Annual Fluid Change, in this section of the
manual.
• Replace worn or damaged parts.
• Check all mounting points and tighten fasteners
on both snowplow and vehicle. Verify that all
cotter pins are in place.
• Repaint blade assembly and attachments, as
necessary, to protect the metal.
• Install auxiliary and
fl
ashing lights for compliance
and visibility in accordance with local regulations.
• Check headlamps, auxiliary lights, heater and
windshield wipers for proper operation.
• Inspect and test your battery. Recharge or replace
as necessary.
• Ballast may be necessary, or bene
fi
cial, on some
vehicles to provide maximum traction, braking and
handling.
• Any ballast material (such as sand and blocks)
must be solidly secured to the vehicle to prevent it
from moving under harsh plowing conditions.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Lower the blade when the vehicle is parked.
Keep 8' clear of the blade. Temperature
changes could change hydraulic pressure,
causing the blade to drop unexpectedly or
damaging hydraulic components. Failure to
do this could result in serious personal injury.
POSTSEASON MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Coat all electrical connections with
dielectric grease.
• Clean and paint blade and components as
needed.
• Apply general purpose petroleum grease to
exposed chrome surfaces of the rams to prevent
rust.
• Lubricate the hitch pins with general purpose
petroleum grease.
