lift/lower cylinder rod and insert the 3/4" x 2-1/2" pin through the plates
and cylinder rod.
Note: The A-FRAME LATCH, located at the rear center
of the A-frame, should be in the down position. Pull the A-FRAME LATCH
PULL PIN out and rotate the latch clockwise if it is in the raised position.
Now that the cylinder is connected to the inner draw latch plates, rotate
the draw latch assembly toward the draw latch mount holes on the A-frame.
Align the holes in the outer draw latch plate with those of the inner draw
latch plates and the A-frame. Secure the assembly to the A-frame by
replacing the draw latch mount pin. Remove the vise grips from the cylinder
rod. This will allow the compression spring to expand against the draw latch.
Rotate the A-frame latch counterclockwise until the A-frame latch pull pin
locks into place. Next, replace the draw latch bolt mount pin. The pin
should be evenly spaced on either side of the outer draw latch plates.
Tighten the set screw to secure the pin in place. Complete the draw latch
assembly by replacing the washers, spacers, extension springs and bolts
on both sides of the draw latch bolt mount pin.
Once you have completed the draw latch installation, we will shift our attention
to assembly of the manifold. The manifold, pump and coil harness have been
preassembled at the factory; however, the manifold contains several compo-
nents that you will need to install prior to securing the assembly to the A-frame.

Each of the 12 HYDRAULIC HOSE PORTS on the MANIFOLD are covered
with stretch wrap. Remove the wrap and install the appropriate fitting in
its respective port.
Note: All ports are identified by a stamped number on the manifold. The
numbers also identify the hydraulic functions, which can be referenced on
the label under the hydraulic pump and manifold cover (see page 7).

Latch
To mount the straight blade, the A-frame latch
should be lowered over the spring mount – this
allows the draw latch to pull the plow into the
undercarriage. Once the plow is safely attached
to the undercarriage, rotate the A-frame latch
counterclockwise until the lock pin snaps in place.
The A-frame latch is only used to mount the plow.
Installing The Manifold Adapters
There are a total of 24 hydraulic adapters to
install. All of the adapters can be found packaged
with the manifold assembly. Remove the protective
stretch wrap from the manifold in a clean area.
DO NOT
let any foreign objects enter into the
open ports. The valves can become contaminated
and greatly hinder the plow’s performance.
Review the table on page 5 for proper torque
specifications.
The gray arrows shown on the manifold illustration
to the right indicate the direction the 90˚ adapters
should face to receive the hydraulic hoses.
