OPERATION

Your snowplow is the most advanced and versatile straight blade on the market. The easy-to-use joystick control allows you to automatically adjust the plow blade into an infinite number of plowing positions. Review the illustrations below for instruction on maneuvering your snowplow.

A. Lowered or Float Position

Pushing the joystick forward, toward the

“Lower/Float” designation on the label, will lower your straight blade to the ground.

Pushing and momentarily holding the joystick ahead will allow the snowplow to

“float”, or follow the contour of the ground when moving forward or backward.

B. Raised Position

Pulling the joystick back, toward the “Raise” designation on the label, will lift your straight blade off of the ground. To stop raising the plow, simply return the joystick to its “neutral” or center position. The snowplow has reached its maximum raised position when the blade stops lifting – return the joystick to its neutral position.

C. Angled Right Position

To angle your straight blade to the right, position the joystick toward the “R” on the label. To stop angling the plow, return the joystick to its “neutral” or center position. The snowplow has reached its maximum angled position when the blade stops moving to the right side.

D. Angled Left Position

To angle your straight blade to the left, position the joystick toward the “L” on the label. To stop angling the plow, return the joystick to its “neutral” or center position. The snowplow has reached its maximum angled position when the blade stops moving to the left side.

***** IMPORTANT *****

To prevent premature failure of the power contactor (solenoid), initiate the plow function and return the joystick to its neutral or center position—except float. DO NOT hold the joystick in any position that allows the pump to continuously run after the plow has reached its maximum degree of movement. This will reduce the useful life of the solenoid.

Your Blizzard straight blade has been packaged to withstand transit and weather related damage. Fully inspect all components upon receipt of your plow. In the event of shipping damage or missing parts, immediately contact our Customer

Service Department at 1-888-680-8600.

Begin unpacking and inspection in the following order:

1. Remove the shipping document from the end panel of the pallet wrap. Retain all documentation for your records.

2. All wood framing and polyethylene material should be removed from the pallet for easy access to the snowplow.

3. Due to the odd shaped components and size of several assembly parts, various cable ties and corrugated material are used for scratch resistance and package orientation.

Please remove these items prior to assembly.

4. Place the main blade assembly on a flat, level surface.

Once you have inspected all parts and removed all packaging materials, your snowplow is ready to be fully assembled.

Retain this information for your records.

1. Position the pivot beam and A-frame near the connecting points at the rear of the blade between the two center support ribs. Insert one 3/4" Dia. x 3" clevis pin through each mounting hole and secure with 1/4" Dia. x 1-1/2" cotter pin.

NOTE: Mount the kickstand to the end of the pivot beam (driver’s side) using the 1/2"-13 x 4-1/2" bolt provided. The spring, bushing and lock nut are located on the inside of the pivot beam.

Review the diagram to the right. To pivot the kickstand, pull the spring loaded leg out & rotate it until the pin locks into place.

Adjust the foot on the stand arm so the height of the A-frame, at its mount points, is 12-1/2" to level ground. Tighten both of the top lock nuts on the kickstand.

NOTE: To prevent the kickstand from hitting the ground before the snowplow cutting edges, causing stress on the kickstand, adjust the kickstand foot approximately 1/8" short of level ground. This procedure will provide clearance for the kickstand when the snowplow is lowered with the kickstand in the down position.

2. Position each angle cylinder with the rod end of the cylinder in the pivot beam and the hydraulic hose port facing away from the A-frame. Secure with 3/4" Dia. x 5" clevis pin and

1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pin. Extend each cylinder rod until the cylinder base mounting hole aligns with the hole on the Aframe angle cylinder bracket. Secure base with clevis pin and cotter pin.

3. Remove dust cap from both of the hydraulic angle cylinder ports and attach one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 90° Adj. Elbow

O.R.B. adapter to each port. NOTE: All of the hydraulic adapters can be found packaged with the manifold

assembly, reference torque specifications. Each adapter should be angled toward the top of the moldboard. Connect the 3/8" x 24" hydraulic hose (60091) to the driver’s side angle cylinder adapter. Be careful not to over tighten the hose connections. Route both hoses over the TOP of each angle cylinder. This will prevent them from hanging or being pinched.

4. Remove the plastic dust caps from the lift cylinder ports.

Attach one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 45° Adj. Elbow O.R.B. adapter to the driver’s side port (base end) and one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 male O.R.B. connector adapter to the passenger’s side port (rod end). Once the adapters have been installed on the cylinder, connect the hoses. NOTE:

Position the fittings in the cylinder port such that the hoses install directly in the center of the A-frame access holes. A hose installed too close to the edge of the opening may work itself free with the operation of the lift cylinder and/or

movement of the plow. Connect the 3/8" x 17" hose (60273) to the 45° adapter. Connect the 45° angle on the hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder. The male connector adapter requires a 3/8" x 15" hydraulic hose (60274).

Tighten the 45° end of the hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder. Both hoses should be routed through the triangular openings in the A-frame.

5. Remove the draw latch mount pin, spacer & cotter pin from the draw latch assembly. By removing this pin, the inner draw latch plates can swing free. Remove the inner draw latch plate lift cyl. mount pin. Position the plates on either side of the lift/lower cylinder rod and insert the pin through the plates and cylinder rod. With the cylinder connected to the inner draw latch plates, rotate the draw latch assembly toward the draw latch mount holes on the A-frame.

Align the holes in the outer draw latch plate with those of the inner draw latch plates and the Aframe. NOTE: The A-frame latch, located at the rear/center of the A-frame, should be raised up to insert the draw latch mount pin. Pull the Aframe latch pull pin out and rotate the latch counterclockwise if it is locked into position.

Secure the assembly to the A-frame by replacing the draw latch mount pin, spacer and cotter pin. Reset the A-frame latch so the Aframe latch pull pin locks into place.

6. Assemble the manifold. The manifold, pump and coil harness have been connected at the factory; however, the manifold contains several components that you will need to install prior to securing the assembly to the A-frame. Each of the hose ports on the manifold are covered with stretch wrap. Remove the wrap and install the appropriate fitting in its respective port.

NOTE: DO NOT let any foreign objects enter into the open ports. The valves can become contaminated and greatly hinder the plow’s performance. Torque to specifications.

NOTE: All ports are identified by a stamped number on the manifold. The numbers also identify the hydraulic functions, which can be referenced on the label under the hydraulic pump and manifold cover.

7. Align the mount holes in the pump with the holes in the hinged bracket, located on the A-frame. NOTE: Before mounting the pump, angle the hinged bracket as needed and tighten the bracket hardware to lock it in place.

CAUTION: When installing the manifold between the mount brackets on the A-frame, hold the manifold at the sides of the block. Never handle the manifold by coils. Doing so can cause a solenoid cartridge to bend, causing the cartridge to stick when activated.

Secure with 3/8"-16 x 3/4" hex head cap screw and 3/8" flat washer through the top mount hole in the bracket and into the pump. Insert 3/8"-16 x 1-3/4" threaded stud with 3/8"-16 locknut through the bottom mount hole in the bracket and into the pump. The threaded stud should bottom out in the pump. NOTE: A medium strength thread locker, such as

Loctite®242®should be used on both of the pump mount

fasteners.

8. All of the hoses shipped with the snowplow contain a printed label (with a part number) applied to the hose. Install the following hoses to their respective ports on the manifold:

Hose P/N 60091 Ports #1 & #2, Hose P/N 60273 Port #3 &

Hose P/N 60274 Port #4.

Install the driver’s side lift cylinder hose (60273). Attach the straight end of the hose to the 9/16"-18 90° swivel elbow adapter on the manifold. Connect the passenger’s side lower cylinder hose (60274) to Port #4. Loop the hose through the opening in the A-frame and connect the straight end of the hose to the 9/16"-18 90° swivel elbow adapter. Run both angle cylinder hoses (60091) over the A-frame angle and to their respective manifold ports. NOTE: The lift cylinder hoses should be routed through the triangular openings in the Aframe.

9. Secure the manifold to the A-frame. Remove the washers, split lock washers and capscrews from the manifold and align the mount holes with the A-frame brackets. Properly replace and tighten all hardware. NOTE: A medium strength thread locker, such as Loctite®242®should be used to secure the manifold mount fasteners.

10. Hook each extension spring to the receiving holes on the pivot beam and attach the opposite end of the spring to its respective spade bolts. Install the spade bolts through the extension spring mounting angle on the top rear of the blade.

Secure each spade bolt with one 5/8" flat washer and one

5/8"-11 nylock nut. Tighten each nut until a piece of paper can pass between the 3rd & 4th coils on the spring.

11. Install the blade guides at each end of the moldboard. Insert the capscrew through the holes at the top of the wing reinforcement rib. Tighten all screws with lock nuts.

12. Install the plow harness.

ELECTRICAL-VEHICLE SIDE

CAUTION: Always attach the vehicle harness assembly with the vehicle off and the keys out of the ignition. Use caution when testing the electrical wires for the vehicle’s headlight functions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insert the connector end of the harness through the driver’s side firewall access panel into the vehicle cab.

Loosely position the remaining portion of the harness over the driver’s side fender well and place the plug end of the harness near the bumper. NOTE: Keep the plow plug and vehicle connector pins lubricated with a liberal amount of dielectric grease. Always replace the protective weather caps when the plow is disconnected from the vehicle.

2. Attach the power contactor (solenoid) to the driver’s side wheel well or engine fan guard using 12-14 x 3/4" self-drilling screws. NOTE: Some model vehicles provide mounting locations for accessory components.

Always mount the solenoid with the terminals facing up, for extended solenoid life. Connect the 24" black ground wire to either small terminal on the solenoid and attach the opposite end to the vehicle with a selfdrilling screw. Cut the brown/white pump activation wire on the harness to length and crimp the eyelet terminal onto it. Attach the eyelet to the remaining small terminal on the contactor. Secure it with the hardware provided on the solenoid.

3. Connect the vehicle harness ground wire to the negative terminal on the vehicle’s battery. Cut the wire to length and crimp a 3/8" ring terminal on the wire. It is also recommended that the ring terminal be soldered.

NOTE: The harness should be secured to the vehicle prior to taking the necessary measurement. Measure the distance needed for the power wire to reach the solenoid and properly secure an end ring terminal to it.

Connect the power wire to either large terminal on the solenoid.

CAUTION: Do not fasten the harness to areas that come in contact with moving engine parts or possess extreme heat. The harness could become tangled and/or melt causing electrical failure and vehicle damage.

4. Attach and solder an end ring terminal to both ends of the remaining length of the red wire. Connect one end of the wire to the open terminal on the solenoid and the remaining end to the positive terminal on the battery.

5. Position the main lighting harness with both of the truck light connectors near each truck headlight and the plow light connectors near the grill of the vehicle.

6. Plug the headlight ground/relay connector from the vehicle harness into the connector on the main lighting harness. Plug each headlight relay into the receptacles. Securely mount the receptacles to the vehicle with the terminal wires facing down and the relays facing up. Installing the relays in this position will allow moisture to drain from the relay.

7. Remove the front signal light assembly from both sides of the vehicle. Feed the violet, turn light wire, and gray, run light wire, from the main lighting harness through the opening in the signal light housing. Use a test light or ohm meter to determine the proper wires in the vehicle’s electrical system to splice into. Position one end of the turn or run light wire into the splice lock connector, and attach the vehicle wire into the opposite side. Complete the splice by pinching both wires together and locking the connector. Repeat the splice procedure for the remaining wire.

8. Connect the vehicle headlights to the main lighting harness using a light conversion harness kit. Due to differences in the construction of the kits, and the various make and model vehicles Blizzard snowplows are installed on, a light conversion kit is not packaged with your snowplow. Contact your local Blizzard dealer to obtain the appropriate conversion harness kit for your vehicle.

9. Secure the braided harness to the vehicle. Safely route all harness lengths around the engine components and attach them to the vehicle with cable ties. Extend the plow headlight connectors, from the main lighting harness, through the grill of the vehicle and position the harness power plug and weather cap near the bumper. Cable tie the plug to the vehicle bumper or tow hook to keep the harness from hanging too low.

18



10. Install the remainder of the vehicle wire harness to the interior of the cab. Find an accessible location for the plow headlight toggle switch & bracket under the dashboard. Install the headlight bracket using two selfdrilling screws. Insert the toggle switch through the bracket and secure it with the hardware provided.

Plug both of the switch leads into the toggle switch. NOTE: Both terminals should be inserted into the spades

on the same side of the switch. One terminal should be positioned in the middle spade. Plug both 2-pin connectors together and this will connect the toggle switch to the vehicle wire harness. See diagram below.

11. Connect the power wire (with 15AMPFUSE) to a switched power source with a minimum of 15 amps. NOTE:

The red power wire MUST be fused and switched on and off with ignition. Secure all loose wires under the dash.

12. Install the light tower. Position the arms into the receiving pockets located on the undercarriage. Each pocket has a lock pin that secures both light tower arms. Pull out and twist each handle to temporarily unlock the pins. Place the light tower into the pockets and relock the pins. See your local Blizzard dealer for complete installation instructions for your vehicle undercarriage.

13. Install the plow headlights. Align one headlight stud on the light tower tube with the mounting hole and insert the threaded stud through each. Secure the headlight with one 1/2" galvanized washer (neoprene facing up), one 7/16" external tooth lock washer and hex nut. NOTE: All snowplows are shipped with two caps that install

on the ends of the light tower. Connect the terminals from the plow lights to the terminals on the main lighting harness.

14. Align the mount holes on the joystick control with the holes located on the mount pedestal. NOTE: The radius

on the pedestal should face the dashboard. Secure the joystick to the pedestal with the 8-32 x 3/4" machine screws provided. Slide the Velcro® strap through the slots cut in the pedestal. The metal D-ring should be located on the side opposite of the radius. Wrap the strap around the bench and fasten. Connect the white power connector from the vehicle wire harness to the connector on the control station. The power switch should be in the “OFF” position.

15. Test your plow before using.

1. Fill the hydraulic pump reservoir with BLIZZARD

SNOWPLOW RAPID ACTION HYDRAULIC OIL until it is approximately 3/4" from the top of the tank. Replace the cap on the reservoir. Remove the weather caps from each of the plow and vehicle harnesses and connect the plugs.

2. To raise the POWER HITCH on the snowplow, turn the power switch on the control station to the “UP” or “ON” position. Push and hold the toggle switch on the A-frame upward into the “CONNECT” position. Notice the action of the fluid in the reservoir. By activating the initial hydraulic function, the fluid begins to fill the system. Push and hold the toggle switch in the “DISCONNECT” position, the Power

Hitch will lower. Refill the reservoir until the fluid is approximately 3/4" from the top of the tank.

3. Align the Power Hitch on the A-frame below the push beam, with the receiver plates in line with the receiver plates on the undercarriage. Pull out the A-frame latch pin and rotate the

A-frame latch clockwise until the latch is resting on the draw pin. Move the snowplow in position by activating the Power

Hitch connect switch and release.

WARNING: Always use caution when operating the

Power Hitch CONNECT/DISCONNECT switch. Keep your hands and feet away from the operation of the

Power Hitch and the main blade. The action of the

Power Hitch moves the snowplow in position for proper attachment to the vehicle. Failure to follow this caution may result in serious injury or death.

The Power Hitch will rise until it hits the push beam and the draw latch fingers will pull the plow into the vehicle. The receiver plates on the plow and vehicle are now positively aligned. Rotate the A-frame latch counterclockwise until the latch is in the raised position. NOTE: The A-frame latch pin should always lock in place. Do not set the pin past the lock

point on the A-frame. Insert the two hitch pins through the mounting holes on the A-frame and secure each with one hair pin cotter.

TESTING YOUR PLOW

4. Return to the interior of the vehicle. The system power on the control station should be in the “ON” position. Raise the plow to its maximum height by pulling the joystick back (or down). Angle the snowplow to the left by moving the joystick toward the “L” (left angle) on the label. If the plow function is slow or delayed, the hydraulic fluid is filling the cylinder and replacing the air in the system. Test the remaining functions of the snowplow. Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir and fill to 3/4" from the top of the tank if needed. Also, look for any hydraulic fluid leaks around the manifold, pump, hydraulic hoses and all cylinders.

5. Check that the vehicle and plow headlights are in proper working condition including the turn signals. If necessary, adjust the plow headlight beams with the plow in the raised position.

MAINTENANCE

Check fasteners for tightness. Torque to specifications.

Check hoses for wear and leaks.

Check cylinders for leaks; inspect rod ends for corrosion & pitting

Lubricate all exposed cylinder rod ends with liquid white lithium grease to prevent corrosion.

Check cutting edges and plow shoes for wear. NOTE: Do not discard plow shoe washers, these should be retained for different shoe

adjustments.

Clean and lubricate all electrical plugs and connections with dielectric grease. Clean and install all dust caps prior to storing.

Lubricate all pins, bushings and A-frame latch with NLGI Grade 2 multipurpose lithium complex grease with molybdenum (MPGM) ) to maintain consistent operation

Clean and paint all scratches or exposed metal with Blizzard touch-up paint

Check the hydraulic oil level. Fill with fluid to 3/4” from the top of the reservoir. Do not exceed this level. Never mix different types of fluid.

Remove and properly discard the fluid from the pump reservoir. Clean the pump filter and replace the hydraulic oil to within 3/4" from the top of the reservoir. Changing the fluid annually will prolong the life of your pump and manifold. Never mix different types of hydraulic oil.

Check the trip spring adjustment. Properly adjusted tension will allow a sheet of paper to pass between the 3rd and 4th coils of the spring.

Clean snow & ice build-up from the pump and manifold cover.

Pressure wash and dry the entire snowplow prior to storing

Cover the snowplow with a tarp if stored outside. This will protect your plow from sun fading and inclement weather which can lead to accelerated corrosion.
