Snowplow Operation 01

Snowplow Operation

A.

B.

C.

D.

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 plowblade into an infinite number of plowing positions. Review the illustrationsbelow 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 yourstraight blade to the ground. Pushing the joystickahead until the detent “locks” the control will allowthe snowplow to “float”, or follow the contour ofthe ground when moving forward or backward.

B. Raised Position

Pulling the joystick back, toward the “Raise”designation on the label, will lift your straightblade off of the ground. To stop raising the plow,simply return the joystick to its “neutral” or centerposition. The snowplow has reached its maximumraised 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, positionthe joystick toward the “R” on the label. To stopangling the plow, return the joystick to its “neutral”or center position. The snowplow has reached itsmaximum angled position when the blade stopsmoving to either side.

D. Angled Left Position

To angle your straight blade to the left, positionthe joystick toward the “L” on the label. To stopangling the plow, return the joystick to its “neutral”or center position. The snowplow has reached itsmaximum angled position when the blade stopsmoving to either side.

3. Next, use a screwdriver to pull the hydraulic cylinder rod out from itsbase. Place one 1-1/4" (1", 2" O.D. for 760LD only) diameter washer overthe cylinder rod, followed by the 12" COMPRESSION SPRING and another1-1/4" (1", 2-1/4" O.D. for 760LD only) washer. Compress the coils approx-imately 2" and clamp the spring and washers in place using a pair of visegrips. This will help facilitate the draw latch installation.

4. Begin the draw latch installation by first removing both of the 6" extensionsprings on the latch. Proceed to remove both 1/2"-13 x 2" bolts withwashers and spacers from the DRAW LATCH BOLT MOUNT PIN. Oncethe springs and hardware have been removed, loosen the SET SCREWon the OUTER DRAW LATCH PLATE using a 1/8" Allen wrench andremove the draw latch bolt mount pin from the assembly.

Next, remove the 1" x 4-1/2" (1" x 3-7/8" for 760LD only) DRAW LATCHMOUNT PIN from the assembly. By removing this pin, the INNER DRAWLATCH PLATES can swing free. Proceed to remove the 3/4" x 2-1/2"(5/8" x 2-3/8" for 760LD only) INNER DRAW LATCH PLATE CYLINDERMOUNT PIN. Position the plates on either side of the lift/lower cylinder rodand insert the 3/4" x 2-1/2" (5/8" x 2-3/8") pin through the plates and cylinder rod. Note: The A-FRAME LATCH, located at the rear center of theA-frame, should be in the down position. Pull the A-FRAME LATCH PULLPIN out and rotate the latch clockwise if it is in the raised position. Nowthat the cylinder is connected to the inner draw latch plates, rotate the drawlatch assembly toward the draw latch mount holes on the A-frame. Alignthe holes in the outer draw latch plate with those of the inner draw latchplates and the A-frame. Secure the assembly to the A-frame by replacingthe draw latch mount pin. Remove the vise grips from the cylinder rod.This will allow the compression spring to expand against the draw latch.

Draw Latch Assembly

The draw latch consists of a series of intercon-nected plates and pins that attach to the A-frameand the hydraulic cylinder that raises and lowersthe plow. The draw latch is also the most difficultcomponent to install on the entire plow and mayrequire the help of a second technician.

06 Assembly Instructions - A-frame

Rotate the A-frame latch counterclockwise until the A-frame latch pull pinlocks into place. Next, replace the draw latch bolt mount pin. The pinshould be evenly spaced on either side of the outer draw latch plates.Tighten the set screw to secure the pin in place. Complete the draw latchassembly by replacing the washers, spacers, extension springs and boltson both sides of the draw latch bolt mount pin.

5. Position each ANGLE CYLINDER with the rod end of the cylinder in thepivot beam and the hydraulic hose port facing away from the A-frame.Secure the cylinder to the pivot beam with one 3/4"-10 x 5" (3/4"-10 x 4"for 760LD only) hex cap screw and one 3/4"-10 top lock nut. Extend eachcylinder rod until the cylinder base mounting hole aligns with the hole onthe A-frame angle cylinder bracket. At this point, insert one 3/4"-10 x 5"(3/4"-10 x 4") hex cap screw through the aligned holes and secure thescrew with one 3/4" top lock nut. Repeat the same installation for theopposite angle cylinder.

6. Remove each dust cap from both of the hydraulic angle cylinder ports andattach one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 90˚ ADJUSTABLE ELBOW O.R.B. ADAPTERto each port. Angle each adapter toward the cutting edge and tightenapproximately 1-1/2 flats. Connect the 3/8" x 24" hydraulic hose, labeled#1, to the driver’s side angle cylinder adapter. Attach the 3/8" x 24"hydraulic hose, identified by a #2, to the passenger’s side angle cylinderadapter. Be careful not to overtighten the hose connections.

Once you have completed the installation of the angle cylinder hoses, we willshift our attention to assembly of the manifold. The manifold, pump and plowelectrical harness have been joined together at the factory; however, the manifoldcontains several attachments that you will need to install prior to securing theassembly to the A-frame.

7. Each of the 4 HYDRAULIC HOSE PORTS on the MANIFOLD containDUST CAPS. Replace each cap with the appropriate hydraulic adapterillustrated on page 7.

Note: All ports are identified by a stamped number on the manifold. Thenumbers also identify the hydraulic functions which can be referenced onthe label under the hydraulic pump and manifold cover (see page 7).

CAUTION: Port #3 contains a CHECK VALVE & ORIFICE thatrestricts the returned hydraulic fluid for the float function.Verifythat this item is in the port prior to attaching hydraulic adapters.

8. Next, align the mount holes in the pump with the holes in the hingedbracket, located on the A-frame. Note: To help facilitate the pump mount,first angle the hinged bracket as needed and tighten the bracket hardware,locking it in place. Secure one 3/8"-16 x 3/4" hex cap screw and 3/8"flat washer through the top mount hole in the bracket and into the pump.Insert one 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" threaded stud and jam nylon insert lock nutthrough the bottom mount hole in the bracket and into the pump.

9. Once the pump and manifold assembly is in place, connect the hydraulichoses to their respective adapters on the manifold. Remember, the labelingon the hydraulic hoses correspond with the stamped numbers on themanifold.

The kickstand is mounted to the side of the pivotbeam with one 9/16"-12 x 2-1/2" hex cap screwand top lock nut. To pivot the kickstand, simplypull the lock pin out and rotate the leg until thepin snaps into place.

Electrical Assembly - Vehicle Harness

CAUTION: Always perform the vehicle wire harness assemblywith the vehicle off and the keys out of the ignition. Use caution when testing the electrical wires for the vehicle’sheadlight functions.

1. Begin the installation of the electrical harness under the hood. Insert theWHITE POWER CONNECTOR & RED POWER WIRE (with FUSE) endof the harness through the driver’s side fire wall access panel into thevehicle cab. Note:You may need to widen an opening or cut access to thecab interior to facilitate the assembly.

2. Loosely position the remaining portion of the harness over the driver’sside fender well and in front of the radiator core support. Position bothof the large, gray VEHICLE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS near the truckheadlights and the smaller, black PLOW HEADLIGHT CONNECTORSnear the grill of the vehicle.

3. Proceed to remove the front directional light assembly on the driver’sside of the vehicle. Feed the VIOLET, turn light wire and GRAY, run lightwire from the wire harness through the opening in the directional lighthousing. At this point, use a test light or ohm meter to determine theproper wires in the vehicle’s electrical system to splice into. Once youhave identified the proper wires, position one end of the turn or run lightwire into a SPLICE LOCK CONNECTOR provided. Attach the vehiclewire to the opposite side of the splice lock connector. Complete the spliceby pinching both wires together and locking the connector. Repeat thesplice procedure for the remaining wire. The passenger’s side directionallight assembly requires the same installation; however, only one wire, thePINK, turn light, needs to be spliced.

4. Connect the vehicle headlights to the vehicle wire harness using a head-light adapter kit. Due to differences in the construction of the adapter kitsand the various make and model vehicles you will be servicing, the head-light adapter kits are not packaged with your snowplows. Review the listof available light adapters to the right. To place an order for headlightadapter kits, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-888-680-8600.

Begin the adapter kit installation by removing the existing vehicle head-light connector from the headlight. Attach the HEADLIGHT ADAPTERCONNECTOR to the existing vehicle headlight connector. Next, plug theBLACK, FIVE-PIN CONNECTOR on the headlight adapter into the gray,five-pin connector on the vehicle wire harness. Lastly, plug the HEAD-LIGHT ADAPTER CONNECTOR into the vehicle headlight receptacle.Note: If more than one plug is present, match the colors of each connector(ie gray to gray, black to black, Chevrolet daylight running is clear to gray).Repeat the installation for the opposite headlight.

12 Assem. Instructions - Testing The Snowplow

Testing The Snowplow1. Fill the HYDRAULIC PUMP FLUID RESERVOIR with automatic trans-

mission fluid until it is 3/4" from the top of the tank. Replace the cap onthe reservoir. Proceed to remove the weather caps from each of the plowand vehicle wire harnesses and connect the plugs. Turn the POWERSWITCH on the joystick in the cab to the “ON” position and start the vehicle.You now have power to the snowplow. Once all of the hydraulic functionshave been executed, the system will have been filled with approximately3 to 3-1/2 quarts of automatic transmission fluid.

2. Raise the DRAW LATCH on the snowplow by pushing and holding thetoggle switch on the A-frame upward into the “CONNECT” position. Noticethe action of the fluid in the reservoir. By activating the initial hydraulicfunction, the fluid begins to fill the system. Push and hold the toggle switchin the “DISCONNECT” position, the draw latch will lower. Refill thereservoir until the fluid is 3/4" from the top of the tank.

3. Position the vehicle such that the draw latch is below the push beam andthe mounting points on the A-frame are in line with the mounting pointson the undercarriage. Pull out the A-FRAME LATCH PIN and rotate theA-FRAME LATCH clockwise until the latch is resting on the DRAW LATCHBOLT MOUNT PIN. Move the snowplow in position by activating the drawlatch CONNECT switch and release.

WARNING: Always use caution when operating the draw latchCONNECT/DISCONNECT switch. Keep your hands and feetaway from the operation of the draw latch and the main blade.The action of the draw latch moves the snowplow in positionfor proper attachment to the vehicle. Failure to follow thiscaution may result in serious injury or death.

The draw latch will raise until it hits the push beam and the DRAW LATCHFINGERS will pull the plow into the vehicle. The mounting points on theplow and vehicle are now positively aligned. Rotate the A-frame latchcounterclockwise until the latch is in the raised position. Insert the two HITCHPINS through the mounting holes on the A-frame and secure each withone hair pin cotter. The snowplow is now securely mounted to the vehicle.

4. Return to the interior of the vehicle. With the plow securely in place, youcan now execute the remaining functions of the snowplow. The powersupply on the joystick should be in the “ON” position. Next, raise the plowto its maximum height by pulling back (“RAISE”) on the joystick. Angle thesnowplow to the left by moving the joystick toward the “L” (left angle) onthe label. If the plow function is slow or delayed, the hydraulic fluid is fillingthe cylinder and replacing the air in the system. Continue testing theremaining joystick functions. Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir and fillto 3/4" from the top of the tank if needed. Also, look for any automatictransmission fluid leaks around the manifold, pump, hydraulic hoses andall cylinders.

5. Lastly, check that the vehicle and plow headlights are in proper workingcondition including the turn signals. If necessary, adjust the plow head-light beams with the plow in the raised position.

Position one 5/8"-11 top lockingnut with 14" welded stock and washer inside of the truck frame rail on thedriver’s side and fasten. Note: The passenger’s side receives a 5/8"-11top lock nut and washer. No welded stock is necessary since the bolt iseasily accessible. Loosely attach all nuts until all undercarriage platesare positioned.

3. Align the front mounting hole on the plate with the hole in the truck frame.Fasten the plate to the vehicle with one 5/8"-11 x 2-3/4" bolt, washer andtop lock nut.

6. Mount the PUSH BEAM to the hanger plates using eight 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2"bolts and 1/2"-13 top lock nuts. Note: The proper height for the push beamis approximately 12-1/2" from the ground to the center of the push beam.

7. Once all of the undercarriage plates have been positioned and the properpush beam height is set, proceed to tighten all top lock nuts. Referencethe chart on page 4 for maximum bolt torque.

8. Replace the bumper using the existing hardware.

9. Position the LIGHT TOWER into the accepting pockets on the push beamand tighten using two 1/2"-13 x 1-1/4" bolts with washers. Secure eachbolt with a 1/2" top locking nut. Mount each PLOW HEADLIGHT to the lighttower with the hardware kit provided.

2000 Chevrolet/GMC 1500 Series Undercarriage

12-1/2"

WARNING: Most new trucks areequipped with driver and passenger’s

side air bags. DO NOT remove, disable, orreposition any sensory equipment related tothe safe operation of the air bags.

ALWAYS follow the vehicle manufacturer’srecommendations for installing snowplowingequipment.

Failure to comply with the above warning mayresult in serious injury or death.

CAUTION: If your vehicle is equippedwith oversize tires, they may come

into contact with the undercarriage hangerplates when turning the vehicle.

The problem may be resolved by setting thesteering stops on the vehicle. If this does notcorrect the problem, the original tires will needto be installed on the vehicle.

The recommended push beam height for allundercarriage assemblies is 12-1/2" from thecenter of the push beam to level ground. DO NOTexceed 14" in height for any undercarriage.

1. Begin the assembly by removing the PLASTIC BUMPER FASCIA mounted to the bottom of the bumper. Note: The bumper fascia will needto be permanently removed or notched to accommodate the undercarriageassembly. Also, should your vehicle have frame rail mounted tow hooks,these will need to be removed to facilitate the undercarriage installation.

2. Remove the two metric bolts and washers from the REAR SPLASHGUARD MOUNT in the TRUCK FRAME CROSSMEMBER and discard.Align the front mount holes on the UNDERCARRIAGE (at each end of thePUSH BEAM) with the tow hook mount holes on the TRUCK FRAME RAIL.Note: Use a hydraulic floor jack to help facilitate the installation procedure.

3. Replace the TOW HOOKS inside of the truck frame rail and align the holesin the hooks with those in the truck frame and undercarriage. Secure thehooks and the undercarriage to the truck frame with two 7/16"-14 x 6"bolts, double washers and top lock nuts. Note: Loosely attach all nuts untilthe remaining hardware is in position.

4. Next, align the REAR UNDERCARRIAGE MOUNT ARMS with the holes inthe rear splash guard and truck frame crossmember. Secure the guardto the crossmember with two M10-1.5 x 40 bolts and M10 washers.Note: Each hole contains a welded nut on the inside of the truck framecrossmember eliminating the need for new hardware.

5. Finish securing the undercarriage to the truck frame by placing two M12-1.75 x 40 bolts with washers through the CENTER TOW HOOKMOUNT on the undercarriage and truck frame rail. The bolts will tighteninto the tow hook threads.

6. Once the undercarriage has been positioned and all hardware is in place,proceed to tighten all top lock nuts. Reference the chart on page 4 formaximum bolt torque.

7. Position the LIGHT TOWER into the accepting pockets on the push beamand tighten using two 1/2"-13 x 1-1/4" bolts with washers. Secure eachbolt with a 1/2" top locking nut. Mount each PLOW HEADLIGHT to thelight tower with the hardware kit provided.

Complete the assembly by plugging the connectors from the lights into the connectors on the vehicle wire harness.
