Do you have a question about the POWER PLOW 8100PP and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My truck batteries go dead when plow is hooked up. If I unplug the hand held switch it doesn’t happen. Is that a common problem? Blizzard 8100 PP
The Blizzard 8100PP plow has a pump motor that operates on a 12V starter and draws 145A. If the electrical system is not properly maintained, or if the battery is weak, the high amperage draw could potentially drain the truck battery. Regular battery inspection, testing, and recharging or replacement as necessary are recommended to ensure proper operation.
