Operating Procedures

ATTACHING THE PLOW
Attachment prongs on the truck should be
mounted such that the bottom edge of the
prongs measure about 10 inches above the
ground. Prong receivers on the plow frame
should remain parallel to the ground and at
the correct height by fully retracting the lift
cylinder with the upper lift links before remov-
ing the plow from the truck (See "Removing
the Plow") Ideally, the prongs on the truck
should lift the plow frame slightly when driv-
ing 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 slowly 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 to raise the stand to its
highest position. 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.
Plug in the two electrical connectors between
the plow and the truck after latching the plow.
The alignment tab on the 10-pin receptacle
will mate with the slot in the mounting plate
on the truck grill to ensure proper connection.
