plow wings in, and lower the plow completely.
2. Ensure that the plow is just resting on the
surface, without any down pressure.
3. Ensure that the controller is not in FLOAT mode.
4. Loosen the nut on the top links.

5. Adjust the wing tips by rotating the top links
until there is a 1-inch gap between the ground
surface and the wing blade edge.
Note:
Rotate the top links clockwise to lower the
wing tips. Rotate the top links counterclockwise
to raise the wing tips.
6. Tighten the nuts on the top links.
Checking the Hydraulic
Fluid

plow to the ground.
2. Clean the area around the fill cap ( Figure 43 ).

3. Remove the fill cap from the hydraulic reservoir
(
Figure 43 ).
4. Ensure that the fluid covers the pump. If it does
not, add more hydraulic fluid; refer to
Servicing
the Hydraulic System (page 23) .
5. Install the previously removed fill cap.
During Operation
•
Do not exceed 22 km/h (14 mph) when plowing.
•
Always wear a seatbelt while plowing.
•
Never plow with your head out the window.
•
When moving in reverse, turn and look behind you
instead of relying on vehicle mirrors.
•
Start driving forward before lowering the plow for
a pass.
•
As you come to the end of a pass, lift off the
accelerator while starting to use the brake. At the
same time, start to raise the blade to help stack
the snow and to reduce the load on the electrical
system of your vehicle.
Plowing
1. Back up the vehicle to the location you will start
plowing from.
2. Extend the plow wings if desired.
3. Lower the plow blade and begin to slowly drive
forward.
4. Once the area has been cleared, raise the plow
and retract the wings, if extended.
Protecting Your
Transmission
Transmission damage is a common problem that
occurs while plowing. The following steps can help
prevent transmission damage:
•
Do not plow in overdrive unless the Owner’s
Manual for your vehicle recommends it.
•
Plan your plow pattern so that you drive forward
as much as possible.
•
Come to a complete stop before shifting from
forward to reverse.
•
Wait until the transmission engages before
accelerating.
•
Accelerate slowly, allowing the tires to grip the road
surface for better traction. Avoid spinning the tires.
•
Start driving forward before lowering the plow for
a pass.
•
Whenever possible, back into a cleared area.
