Your Blizzard Power Plow snowplow has been designed for years of
rugged, dependable service with low maintenance. To ensure proper
working condition, follow the maintenance guidelines below and on the
next page.
CAUTION: Always follow the maintenance guidelines in a timely
fashion. Failure to observe maintenance guidelines may result
in poor snowplow operation, increased component wear or
possibly lead to part failure.
Routinely inspect the following items – perform maintenance as needed:
1. All fasteners, pins, nuts and bolts for tightness. See the recommended
maximum bolt torque chart on page 14.
2. All hydraulic hoses and hydraulic hose adapters for wear and leaks.
See the recommended hydraulic adapter torque values on page 14.
3. All cylinders for leaks; inspect rod ends for corrosion and pitting.
4. Cutting edges and plow shoes for wear. Do not discard plow shoe
washers. These should be retained for different shoe adjustments.
5. Clean and lubricate the male and female electric connectors on the
pistol grip wire harness periodically. Apply dielectric grease for every
25 hours of snowplow use. You may need to grease more frequently
depending on your plowing environment.
6. Lubricate all pins and bushings to prevent corrosion and to maintain
consistent operation. The inner slide boxesshould also be lubricated
to provide free travel. A NLGI Grade 2 multipurpose lithium complex
grease with molybdenum (MPGM) is recommended for lubrication.
7. Clean and cover deep scratches or exposed metal with Blizzard Snow-
plow white (P/N 61219) or black (P/N 63073) touch-up paint. Contact
your local Blizzard Dealer for availability.
8. Monitor the hydraulic fluid level in your skid steer periodically.
9. To adjust the manifold flow rate, use the variable flow control valve (FC)
on the manifold (see label under the pump & manifold cover). Turn the
dial on the valve clockwise to decrease the flow rate. Turn the dial
counterclockwise to increase the flow rate. See the Troubleshooting
Guide on pages 32 & 33 for additional instructions.
10. 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.
