Maintenance And Adjustment - SnowEx 6800LT Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

WARNING
Lower the blade when the vehicle is
parked. Keep 8' clear of the blade.
Temperature changes could change
hydraulic pressure, causing the blade to
drop unexpectedly or damaging hydraulic
components. Failure to do this could
result in serious personal injury.
Your SnowEx ® snowplow is designed for rugged,
dependable service. However, like the vehicle
on which it is mounted, it needs regular care and
maintenance.
Lit. No. 72448, Rev. 02
MAINTENANCE
Check the following before and frequently during
the plowing season:
• Make sure that all fasteners, mounting bolts,
and hydraulic connections are tight.
• Make sure that all electrical connections,
including grounds, are clean, tight, free of rust
or corrosion, and coated with dielectric grease.
• Check all plugs and seals for hydraulic fl uid
leaks. Repair as necessary.
• Lubricate all moving parts. Not doing so will
make operation of the mount diffi cult and
possibly damage components. For HDV™ and
RDV™ V-plows, also see "Greasing Pivot Pin
Hinge" later in this section.
• Blade Finish: If the powder-coat fi nish is
nicked or scratched, repair the surface and
paint with SnowEx
(available in aerosol or quart can).
