Lock Pin
To mount the Power Plow snowplow, the A-frame
latch should be lowered over the draw pin– this
allows the draw latch to pull the plow into the
undercarriage. Once the plow is safely attached
to the undercarriage, rotate the A-frame latch
counterclockwise until the lock pin snaps into
place. The A-frame latch is only used to
mount the plow. Do not allow the lock pin to
set behind the pin catch hole in the raised
position. The A-frame latch should always be
locked in place when not in use.
06 Moldboard & A-frame Assembly (continued)
A-frame. Secure the cylinder to the pivot beam with one 3/4" x 5"
CLEVIS PIN and one 1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pin. Extend each cylinder
rod until the cylinder base mounting hole aligns with the hole on the
A-frame angle cylinder bracket. At this point, insert another clevis pin
and secure it with a cotter pin. Repeat the same installation for the
opposite angle cylinder.
6. Remove each dust cap from both of the hydraulic angle cylinder ports
and attach one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 90˚ ADJUSTABLE ELBOW O.R.B.
ADAPTER to each port. Each adapter should be angled toward the
top of the moldboard. Connect one 3/8" x 26" hydraulic hose (P/N
60223) to each angle cylinder adapter. Be careful not to overtighten
the hose connections. Route both hoses over the TOP of each angle
cylinder. This will prevent them from hanging or being pinched.
7. Next, remove both of the plastic dust caps from the HYDRAULIC
LIFT CYLINDER ports. Attach one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 45˚ ADJUST-
ABLE ELBOW O.R.B. ADAPTER to the driver's side port (base end)
and one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 MALE O.R.B. CONNECTOR ADAPTER
to the passenger's side port (rod end). Once the adapters have been
installed on the cylinder, connect the hydraulic hoses. Note: Position
the 45˚ fitting in the cylinder port such that the hoses install directly
in the center of the A-frame access holes. A hose installed too close
to the edge of the opening may work itself free with the operation of
the lift cylinder and/or movement of the plow. The 45˚ adapter receives
a 3/8" x 17" hydraulic hose (P/N 60273). Connect the 45˚ angle on the
9/16"
hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder. The male connector
adapter receives a 3/8" x 15" hydraulic hose (P/N 60274). Tighten the
45˚ end of the hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder. Both
hoses should be routed through the triangular openings in the A-frame.
