Testing The Snowplow
1. To test all of the functions on the Power Plow, your snowplow needs to
be properly attached to the skid steer. Follow the mounting procedure on
page 7.
2. Once the skid steer plate and the UNIVERSAL MOUNT PLATE on the
A-frame have been locked together (using the locking levers on the skid
steer), complete the hydraulic connections with the skid steer turned off.
Note: Due to the various make and model skid steer available, hydraulic
couplings for the auxiliary hydraulic connections are not provided. Consult
your skid steer's Operation Manual for the appropriate couplings needed.
Once you have identified the appropriate hydraulic couplings for your skid
steer, make the connections to both of the 3/4" x 78" hydraulic hoses
provided. The bottom hydraulic hose is attached to the pressure port ("P")
on the manifold and the top hydraulic hose is attached to the tank port ("T").
Complete the hydraulic installation by making the appropriate connections
at the skid steer.
WARNING: Always use caution when connecting high-pressure
hydraulic fittings. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can puncture
skin causing serious injury or death. In the event of a hydraulic
leak, relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings. If
injured, seek emergency medical help immediately.
3. Start the skid steer and begin to initiate the Power Plow's blade functions.
Note: Depending on the skid steer model, it may be necessary to turn on
the skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic switch prior to operating the plow.
Push the left switch UP to LEFT ANGLE the snowplow and DOWN to
RIGHT ANGLE. The center switch operates the DRIVER'S SIDE WING.
Push the switch UP to EXTEND the wing and DOWN to RETRACT the
wing. The right switch operates the PASSENGER'S SIDE WING. Again,
pushing up will extend the wing and down will retract the wing. Upon
initiating the switches on the pistol grip control, you may notice a plow
function is slow or delayed. The hydraulic fluid is filling the cylinders and
replacing air in the system. If necessary, monitor the hydraulic fluid level
in your skid steer. Also, look for any leaks around the manifold, hydraulic
hoses and all cylinders.
Congratulations on a successful assembly and installation! Once all of the
blade functions have been tested, your Blizzard Power Plow is ready for
action. Should you need additional support during a plow assembly, contact
