Emergency Hitch Pin
& Hair Pin Cotter
In the event you should lose hydraulic power while
snowplowing, raise the snowplow into a pile of
snow and insert the emergency hitch pin. The pin
will lock the plow in a temporary raised position
until proper service can be performed to restore
hydraulic power. Note: For clarity, the draw latch
is not shown in this illustration.

7. Next, remove the front directional light assembly on the driver's side
of the vehicle. Feed the VIOLET, turn light wire and GRAY, run light wire
from the main lighting harness through the opening in the directional
light housing. At this point, use a test light or ohm meter to determine
the proper wires in the vehicle's electrical system to splice into. Once
you have identified the proper wires, position one end of the turn or
run light wire into a SPLICE LOCK CONNECTOR provided. Attach
the vehicle wire to the opposite side of the splice lock connector.
Complete the splice by pinching both wires together and locking the
connector. Repeat the splice procedure for the remaining wire. The
passenger's side directional light assembly requires the same instal-
lation; however, only one wire, the PINK, turn light, needs to be spliced.
8. Connect the vehicle headlights to the main lighting harness using a
HEADLIGHT ADAPTER KIT. Due to differences in the construction
of the adapter kits, and the various make and model vehicles Blizzard
snowplows are installed on (see list to the left), a headlight adapter
kit is not packaged with your snowplow. Contact your local Blizzard
Dealer to obtain the appropriate adapter for your vehicle.
9. Begin the adapter kit installation by removing the existing vehicle head-
light connector from the headlight. Attach the HEADLIGHT ADAPTER
CONNECTOR to the existing vehicle headlight connector. Next, plug
the BLACK, FIVE-PIN CONNECTOR on the headlight adapter into
the gray, five-pin connector on the vehicle wire harness. Lastly, plug the
HEADLIGHT ADAPTER CONNECTOR into the vehicle headlight re-
ceptacle. Note: If more than one plug is present, match the colors of
each connector (ie gray to gray, black to black, Chevrolet daylight run-
ning is clear to gray). Repeat the installation for the opposite headlight.
10. Once the headlight adapter connections are completed, proceed to
secure the braided harness to the vehicle. Safely route all harness
lengths around the engine components and attach them to the vehicle
with cable ties. Extend the PLOW HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS, from
the main lighting harness, through the grill of the vehicle and position
the HARNESS POWER PLUG and WEATHER CAP near the bumper.
Cable tie the power plug to the vehicle bumper or tow hook to keep
the harness from hanging too low.
11. Return to the driver's side cab interior to install the remainder of the
vehicle wire harness. Connect the RED POWER WIRE (with 10 AMP
FUSE) to a switched power source with a minimum of 10 amps. Note:
The red power wire MUST be fused and switched on and off with
ignition. Secure all loose wires under the dash.
12. Next, install the LIGHT TOWER. Position the tower arms into the
receiving pockets located on the undercarriage push beam. Align the
mounting holes in the light tower with those on the push beam and
insert two 1/2"-13 x 1-1/4" hex head cap screws. Secure the screws
with 1/2" washers and top lock nuts. See your local Blizzard Dealer
for complete installation instructions for your vehicle undercarriage.
