and lock nuts
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 center mast. The hoist should be ca-
pable of lifting at least 1,000 lb. loads.
Remove two side markers and 5/16 inch
hardware 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 as-
sembling the side markers.
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 pre-
vent 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-ring/flare hydraulic fitting in the hardware
bag in the parts box.
Install the O-ring end of the 90
the lift cylinder port so that the flared end
points toward the rod end when tightened.
Swing the lift frame up to its approximate
working 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.
