Mount Bracket
Diode Pack
Mount Bracket
The diode pack (on the plow harness) clips onto
the diode pack mount bracket. Place a cable tie
through the hole at the end of the bracket and
over the pack to secure it in place.
The draw latch toggle switch installs through the
rear of the bracket with the protective hood. Align
the key washer with the slot cut in the bracket to
prevent the switch from turning. Secure the
switch with the hardware provided. Note: Use the
square notch in the bracket (below the protective
hood) to position the braided harness. Use another
cable tie to hold the harness against the bracket.
The Pump Cover Installs Over
The Top Of The Draw Latch
Switch Bracket
To properly secure the pump and manifold cover
on the A-frame, position the cover over the top of
the protective hood on the draw latch switch
mount bracket. Align the slots in the cover with
the welded bolts on the A-frame brackets—
secure the cover using three flanged wing nuts.

1. Begin the electrical assembly by connecting the RED POWER WIRE
from the PLOW ELECTRICAL HARNESS to the PUMP motor terminal
stud using the hardware provided on the pump.
2. Place one 3/8" INTERNAL/EXTERNAL TOOTH LOCK WASHER, the
BLACK GROUND WIRE (from the harness) and the RED GROUND
WIRE on the COIL WIRE HARNESS (from the manifold) over the
tapped hole on the pump and secure the ground using one 3/8"-16 x
3/4" hex head cap screw.
3. Remove the hex jam nut and external tooth lock washer from the
POWER HITCH CONNECT/DISCONNECT TOGGLE SWITCH and
insert it through the back of the mounting bracket on the A-frame. Align
the notch in the key washer on the switch to the notch on the bracket.
Replace the lock washer and jam nut and tighten until the switch is
firmly in place. Next, attach the connector on the plow harness to the
switch. Note: Use caution when making the connection. Switches can
break if done forcefully.
4. Continue the harness installation by connecting the PLASTIC FEMALE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR on the harness to the PLASTIC MALE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR found on the coil wire harness.
5. Finalize the harness installation by sliding the DIODE PACK over the
diode pack mount bracket located behind the connect/disconnect toggle
switch. Position the wire harness braid in the notch on the switch
bracket and secure it with a cable tie.The diode pack mount bracket
contains an extra hole for a cable tie. Use it to secure the diode pack.
6. To install the PUMP & MANIFOLD COVER, align the notches in the
cover with the welded bolts on the A-frame brackets. Secure the cover
with two 3/8" FLANGED WING NUTS. Verify the cover is positioned
over the protective toggle switch hood. Pop the front of the cover on
the threaded stud and secure it with the remaining wing nut.
Congratulations! You have just completed building the finest snowplow
available! However, the vehicle wire harness still needs to be installed.
That is the focus of the second half of the electrical assembly instruction.
