OPERATING PROCEDURES

CONTROL BOX

The control box includes a transponder that can connect it wirelessly to a wireless 

remote control switch (optional at extra cost). There is also a hard-wired manual 

winch control switch (y, fig.19) included to operate your plow.

1.

 Attach the control box (s,fig.19) to the vehicle in the engine compartment.

Mount it securely, away from moving parts and sources of heat. Take into

account the amount of wire available to reach the vehicle battery and the

amount of wire available to connect to the winch leads.

2.

 Run the red (p, fig.19) and black wires (n, fig.19) attached to the blue 2 inch

connector plug (v, fig.19) forward to a point outside the front of the vehicle near

the custom mount, where the plug can easily be connected to the plow lead.

Leave some slack.

3.  Run the red and black wires marked “To Battery” to the battery. The black wire

should be connected directly to the negative terminal of the battery.

NOTE:  

Do not connect the black (negative ground) wire to the vehicle chassis 

or bodywork. It must lead directly to the negative battery terminal.

4.  The red wire must be connected to the positive terminal of the battery with an

intervening in-line 35 amp circuit breaker (w, fig.19) or fuse. The 35 amp circuit

breaker is necessary to prevent possible electrical damage to either the winch

or the vehicle’s electrical system.

WARNING:  

If there is a DK2 wireless controller in the immediate vicinity of 

the control box, it can operate your plow’s winch. Be aware there is danger of 
unexpected movement of the winch and blade.

5.

 Run the hard-wired control lead so that the switch (y, fig.19) goes into the cab

of the vehicle and the plug (u, fig.19) connects to the socket in the top of the

control box (t, fig.19).

WARNING:  

Never stand between the vehicle and the blade nor stand within 

3 m (10 feet) of a blade in motion. Moving or falling blades can cause serious 
personal harm.

OPTIONAL LIGHT KIT

Wiring for the optional snowplow lights must be run and connected separately, 

either connected to the vehicle auxiliary lighting or separately switched. Switching 

for the light bar is at the top of the winch support tower.

CAUTION!  

Be sure that the snowplow lights are properly aimed when the 

snowplow is mounted on the vehicle, since its weight and the weight of any 
ballast will affect the way the vehicle sits on the road.

OPERATION

WARNING!

z

Always inspect snowplow components, connections, and fasteners for wear
or damage every time you attach or detach the snowplow. Worn or damaged
components may allow the snowplow to fail without warning, resulting in
serious injury or vehicle damage.

z

Before plowing the first time, be sure all fixtures, connections, and parts are

tight and properly aligned.

1.  Lift the plow using the control for the winch.
2.  The plow angle can now be adjusted using the handle to release the angle lock

pin from the holes in the D frame. Move the handle away from the blade toward

the front of the vehicle and then rotate the blade and D frame. The plow can be
