20 V-Plow Assembly
20. At this point, assemble the mount kit on the
truck as described in the instructions sup-
plied with each kit.
Prongs from the truck mount kit should be at
a height that will slightly lift the plow frame
when attaching the plow.
Apply powdered graphite on the prongs to
help the plow slide on and off more easily.
Prong receivers on the plow frame must be
parallel to the ground before attaching the
plow.
Attach the plow onto the truck by driving the
truck prongs into the receivers on the plow
frame. Pull the latch handle into the frame
clevis to move sliders through the notches
in the prongs and receivers. Pin the handle
in the clevis with its klik pin.
Raise the parking stand to its highest posi-
tion and repin.
Connect the three electrical cables from the
plow to their corresponding receptacles on
the truck.
21. Select an appropriate hydraulic oil from the
DWG NO. 4166
NOTE: New hydraulic cylinders will leak a small
amount of oil until packings become saturated
and produce a good seal. If leakage is exces-
sive, or if leaking continues after initial cycling,
tighten the cylinder packing nut in 1/8-turn in-
crements until leaking stops.

accompanying chart.
Pour hydraulic oil into the power unit
reservoir until the oil level reaches the fill
line - about 1-1/4 inches from the top.
Remove the two angle irons bracing the
wing cylinders while the plow is still on
the ground.
Raise and lower the plow, and cycle the
wings to purge any air trapped in the sys-
tem. Check the oil level with the plow on
the ground and the wings retracted.
Add oil to the fill line, if necessary, but do
not overfill the reservoir.
