Snowplow Assembly & Setup
Unpack all components and familiarize yourself with the various parts and assemblies
included in your new plow package. Mountings, electrical, and hydraulic assemblies
may have independent instructions and manuals specifically related to those products.
Basic Assembly
1. Assemble the Power Angling Assembly (1) to the moldboard assembly using
three Pivot Pins (20) and Cotter Pins (21). Install Trip Springs to sector ears.
Thread 5/8” Hex Nut on Spade Bolts () nearly to the bottom of threads. Loop
spade bolt holes through trip spring ends and insert threads through moldboard
bracket holes. Secure spade bolts with 5/8” flat washer and nuts. Adjust initial
spring tension by tightening 4 complete turns beyond taut. Tighten the lower jam
nut against the moldboard bracket to lock in place. Insert the Jackstand
Assembly into the pushframe bracket and engage the stand so that the assembly
sits level.
2. Remove Pump Cover from the power angling assembly. Install Left and Right
Power Angling Hoses to Hydraulic Pump Unit and Power Angling Cylinders.
Consult hydraulic and pump schematics for specific hookup information. Use
Teflon pipe sealant to insure proper hydraulic sealing.
3. Install the end link of the Lift Chain to the Push Frame using a 1/2” X 2” cap
screw, two 1/2” flat washers, and 1/2” locknut. Install the Safety Chain as shown
using the same procedure.
4. Remove the Attachment Pins and Attachment Bar Assembly from the Front Lift.
Set the Attachment Bar Assembly and Attachment Pins aside for use in vehicle
mounting installation. Attach the Lift Channel to the Front Lift using upper
attachment ears as shown. Install the 90 deg Hydraulic Elbow to inlet port on the
Lift Cylinder. Position the Lift Cylinder between the lower attachment ears of the
Front Lift and Lift Channel. Secure using hardware as shown. NOTE – DO NOT
OVERTHIGHTEN LOCKNUTS.
5. With the Front Lift () laying horizontally and facing up, insert Push Frame Pins
through the Front Lift and Push Frame as shown below. Make certain pins also
pass through the coils of the Torsion Springs already mounted to the Front Lift
Spacer Bar (see diagram below). Secure the Push Frame Pins using Lynch Pins
once in place. Rotate the Front Lift up to a vertical orientation. Note the torsion
springs should contact the Push Frame rear support and apply counter-rotational
torque as Front Lift moves upward. Attach the Lift Chain to the Lift Channel to
hold the Front Lift in place and keep from rotating backward.
