Operating Classes
HTV Series
The HTV Series Sno-Way plow is specifically designed for
heavy duty snow plowing with full size 3/4 and 1 ton 4x4’s.
NOTE: The loaded vehicle, including any ballast weight
and optional equipment, must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) or front or rear Gross Axle Weight
(GAW) ratings specified on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label located on the driver’s side door
opening.
NOTE: All vehicles that are equipped with Sno-Way snow
plows should be equipped with all vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended options for snow plowing.
For additional information, refer to your dealer and the
Sno-Way Application Guide for proper vehicle
applications.
Before The Season Begins
1. Inspect vehicle safety equipment for proper
operation; brakes, headlights, plowing lights, windshield
wipers, flashers, etc.
2. Inspect the plow, plow frame and all attaching hard-
ware for wear and corrosion. Replace worn or damaged
parts and clean and repaint exposed metal parts with a
high quality, corrosion resistant enamel.
3. 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) and carefully inspect the adjacent area for
damage or wear as well as carefully inspecting all adja-
cent fasteners for proper torque.
4. Apply a small amount of light oil to the hitch pins and
pivots, to pivot pins between the A-frame and center
blade assembly, between lift and swing cylinder pivot pins
and the lift linkage pivots.
5. Check the wing pivots for free movement of the wings
on the pivot shafts. Lubricate the wing pivot shafts with a
good quality light weight HP Lithium based grease.
6. For extremely cold weather plowing, continuous sub
zero operation, an alternative is to remove the grease fit-
tings and fill the grease cavity with SAE 140 gear oil, and
then replace the grease fitting.
7. Check the reservoir oil level (see maintenance
instructions) and repair any oil leaks and worn hoses.
8. Inspect electrical connectors. Make sure the contacts
are clean, and apply a small amount of dielectric grease.
9. Install plow lights and ensure they are aimed properly
(with plow in full UP position).
10. If ballast is required position ballast behind rear
wheels for optimum performance.
Transporting Vehicle With
Blade Attached
1. Always install the cylinder lock clamp when the plow
blade is raised and the operator is not engaged in
plowing operations.
NOTE: If cylinder lock clamp is not installed during
transport equipment failure or inadvertent operation of
the control switches while driving could allow the plow
blade to fall.
2. Always transport the plow with the wings fully folded
to the rear to keep the transport width to a minimum.
3. DO Not exceed 45 m.p.h. when driving with the snow
plow attached. Braking distance is increased and han-
dling is impaired dramatically at speeds above 45 m.p.h.
4. Reduce speed when crossing railroad tracks or when
road conditions deteriorate.
5. Never change blade angle or height while driving.
WARNING
Ensure ignition switch is OFF before installing or
removing the cylinder lock clamp. Equipment
failure or inadvertent operation of the control
switches could allow the plow blade to fall,
resulting in serious injury.
FAILURE TO HEED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION
Remove the plow when driving extended
distances at temperatures above 40° F, the plow
blocks enough airflow to the vehicle’s radiator to
cause it to overheat at temperatures above 40° F.
