Operating Procedures

ATTACHING THE PLOW
Attachment prongs on the truck should be
mounted such that the bottom edge of the
prongs measure about 10 inches above the
ground. Prong receivers on the plow frame
should remain parallel to the ground and at the
correct height by fully retracting the lift cylinder
with the upper lift links and bracing the frame
with the stop plate before removing the plow
from the truck (See "Removing the Plow").
Ideally, the prongs on the truck should lift the
plow frame slightly when driving into the plow
for attachment.
Powdered graphite applied on the prongs will
help the plow slide on and off more easily.
Check that prongs are in line with the receivers
before slowly driving into the plow. Set the
parking brake in the truck to prevent it from
creeping back out from the receivers.
Remove the tab lock pin from the indexing
hole and raise the parking stand to its highest
position. Repin the stand lever to the front hole
in the push frame for transport.
Pull the latch handle into the clevis on the lift
frame to force the sliders through the notches
in the prongs and receivers. Check that both
sliders are fully engaged.

Handle Pinned With Plow On Truck
Pin the handle in the clevis with its klik pin.
Failure to pin the handle in place may allow the
plow to fall off the truck.
NOTE: Before connecting the plow's wiring to
the truck, make sure power is switched "Off" on
the joystick controller.
Plug in the two electrical connectors between
the plow and the truck after latching the plow.
The alignment tab on the 16-pin plug will mate
with the slot on the mating receptacle to ensure
proper connection.
