Moldboard & A-Frame Assembly
1. Begin the moldboard assembly by first removing each dust cap from
both of the SLIDE BOX CYLINDERS located at the center/rear of the
MOLDBOARD. Attach one 7/16"-20 x 9/16"-18 MALE O.R.B. CON-
NECTOR to each of the retract ports (#7 & #10) and one 9/16"-18 x
9/16"-18 MALE O.R.B. CONNECTOR to each of the extend ports (#8
& #9). Review the diagram below. Note: All of the hydraulic adapters
can be found packaged with the manifold assembly. Reference the
table on page 20 for proper torque specifications.

2. Connect the hoses to each of the hydraulic adapters on the cylinders.
Ports #7 & #10 receive a 1/4" x 36" HYDRAULIC HOSE (P/N 60019).
Note: Review the label on each hose for the appropriate part number.
Ports #8 & #9 receive a 3/8" x 36" HYDRAULIC HOSE (P/N 60224).
3. Next, position the PIVOT BEAM and the A-FRAME, near the mount
locations at the rear of the blade, between the two center support ribs.
Place the right and left group of hydraulic hoses (connected to the slide
box cylinders) through the 1-1/2" diameter rubber grommet openings
in the front face of the pivot beam. See the diagram to the right.
4. Position the pivot beam between the two support ribs until the con-
necting points on the beam align with those on the plow. Insert one
3/4" DIA. x 3" CLEVIS PIN through each mounting hole and secure
them with one 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 locate on the inside of the pivot beam. Review the diagram to the
right and on page 26. Upon installation, rotate the spring loaded kick-
stand clockwise until it 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 1/2"-13 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 lock pin,
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.
5. Position each ANGLE CYLINDER with the rod end of the cylinder
in the pivot beam and the hydraulic hose port facing away from the

Feed each group of hoses (two per side) through
the grommets in the pivot beam and up through
the openings in the A-frame. Positioning the hoses
through the pivot beam supports the hoses while
the snowplow is in use and prevents them from
dragging on the ground.

The kickstand mounts to the side of the pivot
beam with one 1/2"-13 x 4-1/2" hex cap screw
and top lock nut. To pivot the kickstand, simply
pull the spring loaded leg out and rotate it until
the pin locks into place. The kickstand also has
an adjustable foot that can be moved to accom-
modate varying vehicle heights. Adjust the kick-
stand foot approximately 1/8" short of level ground.
This will prevent the kickstand from hitting the
ground before the plow cutting edges. The proper
height of your snowplow mounting points to level
ground should be set at 12-1/2".
