Testing The Snowplow

12. Find an accessible location under the dashboard for the PLOW
HEADLIGHT TOGGLE SWITCH & BRACKET. Install the headlight
bracket using two self-drilling screws. Insert the toggle switch through
the bracket and secure it with the hardware provided. Use the MALE
2-PIN POWER CONNECTOR to connect the toggle switch to the
vehicle wire harness.
First, insert the 24" GREEN/YELLOW GROUND LEAD into the
FEMALE 2-PIN POWER CONNECTOR (on the vehicle wire harness).
This lead should be grounded to the vehicle. Next, plug both of the
SWITCH LEADS into the toggle switch. Note: Both terminals should
be inserted into the spades on the same side of the switch. One
terminal should be positioned in the middle spade. See the illustration
to the left and on page 32. Plug both 2-pin power connectors together.
13. Next, install the LIGHT TOWER. Position the tower arms into the
receiving pockets located on the undercarriage. Each pocket has a
lock pin that secures both light tower arms. Pull out and twist each
handle to temporarily unlock the pins. Place the light tower into the
pockets and relock the pins. See your local Blizzard dealer for com-
plete installation instructions for your vehicle undercarriage.
14. Proceed to install the PLOW HEADLIGHTS. Align one HEADLIGHT
BALL STUD MOUNT ADAPTER on the light tower tube with the
mounting hole and insert the threaded stud through each. Secure the
headlight with one 1/2" galvanized washer (neoprene facing up), one
7/16" external tooth lock washer and hex nut. Note: All snowplows are
shipped with two BLACK VINYL CAPS that install at either end of the
light tower. Connect the terminals from the plow lights to the terminals
on the main lighting harness. Repeat the installation for the opposite
headlight.
15. Align the four mount holes on the JOYSTICK CONTROL with the
holes located on the JOYSTICK BENCH MOUNT PEDESTAL. Note:
The radius on the pedestal should face the dashboard. Secure the
joystick to the pedestal with four 8-32 x 3/4" machine screws provided.
Next, slide the VELCRO® STRAP through the slots cut in the pedestal.
The metal D-RING should be located on the side opposite of the radius.
Wrap the strap around the bench and fasten. Finally, connect the
white power connector from the vehicle wire harness to the connector
on the control station. The power switch on the joystick should be in
the middle or "OFF" position. See the diagram to the left.
This completes the electrical assembly installation for the vehicle wire
harness and main lighting harness. You are now ready to perform all of
the test functions on the snowplow.
