Moldboard Assembly - Blizzard 810SS Assembly & Operation Manual

Stamped
Number
Printed
Label
All of the hoses shipped with the snowplows
contain either a stamped number on the sleeve or
a printed label applied to the hose. All numbers,
stamped or printed, correspond with the stamping
of the ports on the manifold.
****NOTICE****
If your Blizzard 810SS snowplow attachment
was shipped with a manifold that does not
contain the same port stamping as indicated
on the Sequencing Valve & Hydraulic Hose
Identification Guide (under the A-frame cover),
connect the hoses from the main blade in the
following sequence:
Hose #5 to Port #12 Hose #9 to Port #8
Hose #6 to Port #11 Hose #10 to Port #7
Hose #7 to Port #10 Hose #11 to Port #6
Hose #8 to Port #9 Hose #12 to Port #5
Hoses #1 & #2 connect to their own ports.

04 Assembly Instructions - Moldboard

Moldboard Assembly

1. Begin the moldboard assembly by positioning the PIVOT BEAM and
A-FRAME near the connecting points at the rear of the blade between
the two center support ribs. Feed the right and left group of HYDRAULIC
HOSES protruding from the SLIDE BOX through the 1-1/2" diameter
openings in the front face of the pivot beam.
CAUTION: The hoses inside of the slide box are installed such
that they move laterally with the action of each wing. To avoid
damaging the hose connections and the wing and slide box
cylinders, pull approximately one foot of each hose grouping
toward the center of the moldboard. Verify that there is approx-
imately 12" of "slack" for each hose grouping. Reposition both
12" lengths back into the slide box – the hoses are now at a
safe travel distance for operation.
Close the slide box by installing the SLIDE BOX ACCESS PLATES.
Rest each grouping of hoses in the opening of the plates and position
the "lip" of each plate in the bottom, inside edge of both slide box
openings. Fasten each plate with two hex washer self-drilling screws.
2. Position the pivot beam between the two support ribs until the connecting
points on the beam align with those on the plow. Insert one 3/4"-10 x 3"
hex head screw through each mounting hole and secure with a 3/4"-10
top lock nut. Tighten each nut until approximately two threads appear.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten hex head nut! Binding may
prohibit the pivot beam from moving properly on the plow.
3. Hook each TRIP SPRING to the 3/4" diameter receiving holes located
on the pivot beam and connect the opposite end of the spring to their
respective EYE BOLTS. Install the four 1/2"-13 x 5" eye bolts through
the TRIP SPRING MOUNTING ANGLE on the top rear of the blade.
Secure each eye bolt by placing one 1/2" flat washer on the bolt and
thread one 1/2"-13 hex nut. Tighten each hex nut until light appears between
the coils of the spring.
4. Install the flexible BLADE GUIDES at the end of each plow wing. Insert
the 5/16"-18 x 1" hex head screw through the holes provided at the top
of the wing reinforcement rib. Tighten all screws using the top lock nuts
provided.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed the first stage of assembly
for the Blizzard Power Plow Model 810SS. In the next section you will assemble
the A-frame and the components that are attached to it.
