General
• Before operating, perform a thorough visual
inspection of the equipment. Look for fluid leaks,
cracked, bent or broken components, loose nuts,
bolts or attachments and proper fluid levels.
• A clean hydraulic system is essential to long pump
life and proper performance.
• When adding oil to the reservoir, wipe the area
around the filler port clean before removing the
breather cap. Use clean oil and a clean funnel, (DO
NOT use a cloth or rag to strain the oil).
IMPORTANT:
Hydraulic unit comes from factory
charged with Type 5606. If additional oil is added it
must be compatible with Type 5606. If another type of
oil has been used in the system the same type of oil
must be used for topping off system. Improper
hydraulic fluid can cause operating problems in cold
weather.
• The operational environment for snow plows is an
extremely harsh and corrosive one.
• Ensure all electrical connections are clean and
tight.
• To prevent rust from forming, clean and repaint
exposed metal surfaces.
• NEVER operate the equipment with the protective
covers or guards removed.
Periodic Inspection
After approximately every 20 hours of operation perform
the following inspections procedures:
1. Inspect the plow assembly including the sub-frame
assembly for any damage or excessive wear. Also
inspect all fasteners to insure that they are properly
tightened. If any fasteners are loose re-tighten to the
proper torque (Refer to the Torque Specification Chart in
this manual). Also carefully inspect adjacent area for
damage or wear as well as carefully inspecting all
adjacent fasteners for proper torque.
2. Apply a small amount of light oil to the hitch pins and
pivots, to pivot pins between the center blade assembly
and the intermediate pivot assembly, between lift and
swing cylinder pivot pins and the lift linkage pivots.
3. Lubricate the wing pivot shafts with a good quality HP
Lithium based grease.
NOTE: For extremely cold weather plowing, continuous
sub zero operation, an alternative is to remove the
grease fittings and fill the grease cavity with SAE 140
gear oil, and then replace the grease fitting.
Special Fasteners Torques and
Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Incorrectly securing fasteners may
result in incorrect operation, excessive wear, and
early failure of plow components. It may also void
your warranty.
• ALWAYS check to make sure you are using the
correct torque specification for the fastener you are
using.
• DO NOT use any lubricants on the threads of any
fastener unless specifically called for in the
assembly or maintenance story for that component.
• NEVER use liquid locking materials, such as
Locktite™ or Threadmaker™, on any fasteners
unless specifically called for in an assembly or
maintenance story for that component.
Standard Fasteners:
The Torque Specifications Chart on page 24 of this
manual should be used as the guide for fastener torque
requirements for most standard fasteners used on the
plow.
Standard fasteners with special torque requirements will
be noted in assembly or service stories pertaining to the
specific piece of equipment.
Hydraulic Fittings:
Hydraulic fittings with lock nuts should be assembled with
at least three full turns of the fitting in the port and then the
lock nut should be tightened to 27 lb.-ft.
Wing Cylinder Attaching Fasteners:
Base end and rod end attachment cap screws are always
assembled with the cap screw head UP.
Always use a nylock nut and only torque the nut to 25 to
30 lb.-ft. DO NOT overtighten these fasteners.
Overtightening of wing cylinder attachment fasteners may
bind cylinder and cause excessive cylinder wear and/or
restrict wing movement.
Bellcrank Assembly to Lift Arm Assembly Fasteners:
Apply Locktite 242™ (Blue) to the threads of the cap
screws and tighten the jam nut to 70 lb.-ft. Then place the
lock nut on the cap screw and tighten to 70 lb.-ft.
