Mounting
10 STEP MOUNTING
PROCEDURE
Procedure to mount blade:
1. Align the tractor behind the main frame.
2. Jack up the pivot frame high enough so the main
frame hook is just below the side bracket pin.
3. Open the D-locks and remove handle.
4. Drive forward until the pin is just behind the
hook.
5. Hook up the hydraulics.
6. Extend the lift cylinders until the hooks are lifted
up level with the side bracket pins.
7. Drive forward to engage the side bracket pins.
8. Retract the lift cylinder bringing the D-lock
connection points up to the axle bracket pins.
(By retracting the lift cylinder, the weight of
the front of the blade swings the back frame
upward, engaging the axle bracket pins.)
9. Close the D-lock connections using the handle.
Install the D-lock clip pins and store the handle.
10. Remove frame jacks and place in their storage
positions.
Important:
You must retract lift cylinders to lift
blade before unlatching D-lock! This transfers the
weight to the front hooks and frees up the D-lock.
Otherwise, the whole assembly may come crashing
down.
Procedure to remove blade:
1. Retract lift cylinder to lift blade.
2. Open D-lock latches.
3. Lower blade by extending the lift cylinders
- main frame will disengage from brackets.
4. If applicable, use frame support jacks.
5. Check that connection points are
disconnected and clear to back out.
6. Unhook hydraulics.
7. Back tractor out.

Important:
There
should be a small gap
(3/8”-1/2”) between the
inside of the hook to the
front of the bracket pin.
Please note:
The brackets & frame
assembly for your
particular fit-up may
differ significantly from those used in the diagram, however,
the basic mounting procedure should remain the same. (Refer
to the “10 STEP MOUNTING” procedure and diagram below)
