Blizzard Power Plow 8611 Assembly & Operation Manual page 10

When installing the manifold between the mount
brackets on the A-frame, DO NOT handle the
manifold by the coils. The solenoid cartridges
can bend, causing them to stick when activated.
Always carry the manifold by the sides of the
aluminum block.

Hardware
A medium strength threadlocker, such as Loctite®
242®, should be used to properly secure the
mount hardware for the pump and manifold. This
will help prevent the hardware from working free
from vibration and plow use. Apply a liberal
amount of threadlocker to both threaded fasten-
ers and the threads in the pump (top diagram).
The manifold receives two 3/8"-16 x 1-1/4" hex cap
screws—one on each side of the A-frame. Like-
wise, use threadlocker on these fasteners and
the tapped holes in the manifold (bottom diagram).

10. Next, align the mount holes in the pump with the holes in the hinged
bracket, located on the A-frame. Note: To help facilitate the pump mount,
first angle the hinged bracket as needed and tighten the bracket
hardware, locking it in place.
Secure one 3/8"-16 x 3/4" hex head cap screw and 3/8" flat washer
through the top mount hole in the bracket and into the pump. Insert
one 3/8"-16 x 1-3/4" threaded stud and 3/8"-16 jam nylon insert lock
nut through the bottom mount hole in the bracket and into the pump.
The threaded stud should bottom out in the pump. Note: A medium
strength threadlocker, such as Loctite® 242® should be used on both
of the pump mount fasteners. This will help prevent the fasteners from
working free.

11. Once the pump and manifold assembly is in place, connect the
hydraulic hoses to their respective adapters on the manifold. Review
the label under the pump cover to identify which hoses connect to
each port. Note: All hoses, except #1 & #2 (angle cylinders) should
be routed through the triangular openings in the A-frame. Position
these hoses over the A-frame angle and to their respective manifold
ports. Note the positions for the rod- and base-end slide box hoses.
The hoses that operate the retract functions (rod) of the cylinders are
closest to the base of each cylinder. Likewise, the hoses that operate
the extend functions (base) of the cylinders are closest to the rod of
each cylinder. Review the diagram on page 5 and the hose installation
list on page 7.
CAUTION: When installing the manifold between the mount
brackets on the A-frame, hold the manifold at the sides of
the block. Never handle the manifold by coils. Doing so can
cause a solenoid cartridge to bend, causing the cartridge
to stick when activated.
