Assembly Instructions - Vehicle Harness
6.
After the headlight adapters have been installed, attach the POWER
CONTACTOR to the driver’s side wheel well or engine fan guard using
two 12-14 x 3/4" hex washer self-drilling screws.
Note: Some model
vehicles provide mount locations for accessory components. The power
contactor should be installed with the posts facing up. Angled installation
may cause premature failure.
Connect the 24" BLACK GROUND WIRE
to either small terminal on the contactor and attach the opposite end to
the vehicle with one hex washer self-drilling screw. Locate the BROWN/
WHITE PUMP SOLENOID ACTIVATION WIRE on the vehicle wire harness
and position the eyelet over the remaining small terminal on the contactor.
Secure it with the washer and nut provided.
7.
Next, connect the BLACK VEHICLE WIRE HARNESS GROUND WIRE
to the negative terminal on the vehicle’s battery. The VEHICLE WIRE
HARNESS RED POWER WIRE connects to either large terminal on the
contactor. Complete the electrical connection by attaching the remaining
72" RED POWER BATTERY WIRE to the open terminal on the contactor.
Note: Depending on the location of the battery, you may need to shorten
the red power wire. Upon determining the proper length, crimp the pro-
vided 3/8" END RING TERMINAL on the wire and connect it to the positive
terminal on the battery.
8.
Once the connections to the battery are secured, proceed to fasten the
SPLIT LOOM TUBING to the vehicle. Safely route all harness lengths
around the engine components and attach them to the vehicle with nylon
ties. Extend the PLOW HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS through the grill of
the vehicle and position the HARNESS PLUG and WEATHER CAP
near the bumper.
CAUTION: Do not fasten the wire harness to areas that come
in contact with moving engine parts or possess extreme heat.
The harness could become tangled and/or melt causing
electrical failure and vehicle damage.
9.
Locate a convenient position to mount the VEHICLE WIRE HARNESS
PLUG MOUNT BRACKET near the driver’s side bumper of the vehicle.
This bracket will hold the plug to the vehicle when the snowplow is removed
from the undercarriage. Position the bracket into the slot provided on the
plug. Mount the bracket using two 1/4"-20 x 3/4" hex cap screws and secure
with 1/4" washers and top lock nuts.
10. Return to the driver’s side cab interior to install the remainder of the
vehicle wiring harness. Connect the RED POWER WIRE (with 10 AMP
FUSE) to a SWITCHED POWER SOURCE with a minimum of 10 amps.
Note: The red power wire MUST be fused and switched on and off with
ignition. Secure all loose wires under the dash.
11. Next, install the LIGHT TOWER. Position the tower arms into the receiving
pockets located on the undercarriage push beam. (Review the proper
undercarriage installation guidelines for your vehicle found near the back
of the manual.) Align the mounting holes in the light tower with those on
the push beam and insert two 1/2"-13 x 1-1/4" hex head cap screws. Secure
the screws with 1/2" washers and top lock nuts.
12. Proceed to install the PLOW HEADLIGHTS. Align one HEADLIGHT BALL
STUD MOUNT ADAPTER on the light tower tube with the mounting hole
and insert the threaded stud through each. Secure the headlight with one
1/2" split lock washer and hex nut.
Note: All snowplows are shipped with
two BLACK DOME PLUGS that install at either end of the light tower. For
secure placement, apply a bead of silicone around the perimeter of the
