Operating Procedures

ATTACHING THE PLOW
Attachment prongs on the truck should be mount-
ed such that the bottom edge of the prongs mea-
sure about 10 inches above the ground. Prong
receivers on the plow frame should remain par-
allel 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 receiv-
ers before 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 parking stand
index plate and raise the stand to its highest po-
sition. Reinstall the pin in the plate 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.
Alignment Tab and Slot
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.
