V-Plow Assembly
GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: To prevent personal injury
or death, be certain to keep clear of
any parts that may drop when remov-
ing bundling straps, wires or brackets. Sup-
port heavy sections with hoist or blocks be-
fore removing wires or straps.
In the following instructions, left and right ma-
chine references are defined as being viewed
from the cab of the truck.
Be certain that hydraulic hoses and electrical
wires are safely routed and allow full motion of
moving parts. Secure loose wires with plastic tie
straps.
Some components are fastened at incorrect lo-
cations for shipping purposes.
All hardware should be tightened only enough
to ensure safety during assembly. Torque hard-
ware to specified values, as shown in the fol-
lowing chart, only after assembly has been com-
pleted.

1.
Lift the snowplow moldboard assembly to a
clear level working area by hooking hoist chains
through the two holes in the top plate of the cen-
ter mast. The hoist should be capable of lifting at
least 1,000 lb. loads.
Remove two side markers and 5/16 inch hard-
ware from the top of the moldboard, and set
aside for assembly later. Save two sets of 5/16
inch hex bolts, flat washers and lock nuts from
the shipping brackets for assembling the side
markers.
Do not remove shipping straps from wing cylin-
ders at this time.
2.
Open the frame crate and set aside the power
unit box, headlamp boxes and parts boxes for
later assembly. Remove the frame assembly
from the shipping crate to a piece of cardboard
or other padding that will prevent scratches in
the paint.
Locate the 3/4 inch x 4-1/4 inch hex bolt, 3/4
inch nylon insert lock nut and one 90 O O-ring/
flare hydraulic fitting in the hardware bag in the
parts box.
Install the O-ring end of the 90 O fitting into the
lift cylinder port so that the flared end points to-
ward the rod end when tightened.
Swing the lift frame up to its approximate work-
ing position and hold with a hoist or forklift.
Bolt the upper lift links to the outside of the two
lugs on the lift frame, then pin the lower end
of the lift cylinder between the two lugs on the
frame assembly with the hardware provided.
