Snowplow Operation 01
Snowplow Operation
Your snowplow is the most advanced and versatile straight blade on the market.
The easy-to-use joystick control allows you to automatically adjust the plow
blade into an infinite number of plowing positions. Review the illustrations
below for instruction on maneuvering your snowplow.
A.
B.
C.
D.
A. Lowered or Float Position
Pushing the joystick forward, toward the “Lower/
Float” designation on the label, will lower your
straight blade to the ground. Pushing the joystick
ahead until the detent “locks” the control will allow
the snowplow to “float”, or follow the contour of
the ground when moving forward or backward.
B. Raised Position
Pulling the joystick back, toward the “Raise”
designation on the label, will lift your straight
blade off of the ground. To stop raising the plow,
simply return the joystick to its “neutral” or center
position. The snowplow has reached its maximum
raised position when the blade stops lifting –
return the joystick to its neutral position.
C. Angled Right Position
To angle your straight blade to the right, position
the joystick toward the “R” on the label. To stop
angling the plow, return the joystick to its “neutral”
or center position. The snowplow has reached its
maximum angled position when the blade stops
moving to either side.
D. Angled Left Position
To angle your straight blade to the left, position
the joystick toward the “L” on the label. To stop
angling the plow, return the joystick to its “neutral”
or center position. The snowplow has reached its
maximum angled position when the blade stops
moving to either side.

Warning!
Prior to operating your straight blade, review the WARNING! label at the
passenger’s side rear of the moldboard (shown below).
Note: Read and understand all warnings indicated in this manual prior to
operating the snowplow. Warnings and cautions in the manual are indicated
by the icons shown to the left.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
1. Verify the main power switch on the control unit is in the “OFF” position when the
snowplow is not in use.
2. Properly mount the snowplow prior to moving the vehicle.
3. Stand clear of the attachment area when mounting the snowplow to the undercarriage
and operating the Power Hitch Connect/Disconnect switch. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
4. Securely position all mounting pins prior to operating your snowplow.
5. Do not position your body between the snowplow and the vehicle when servicing
or operating.
6. Position snowplow in such a manner as to not block your vision or plow headlights
while in transit.
7. Do not change the position of the blade while in transit.
8. Do not exceed 40 mph when transporting plow.
9. Do not exceed 10 mph when plowing.
10. Always lower blade when vehicle is parked.
11. Vehicles equipped with air bags are designed to be activated in a frontal collision
equivalent to hitting a solid object or barrier at approximately 14 mph or more.
Careless or high speed driving while plowing snow, which results in vehicle impact
deceleration equivalent to or greater than the airbag deployment threshold described
above, would deploy the airbag.

Assembly Instructions
Unpacking & Inspection
Your Blizzard straight blade has been packaged to withstand transit and
weather related damage. Fully inspect all components upon receipt of your plow.
In the event of shipping damage or missing parts, immediately contact our
Customer Service Department toll free at 1-888-680-8600.
Begin unpacking and inspection in the following order:
1. Remove packaging slip from the end panel of the pallet wrap. Retain
all documentation for your records.
2. All wood framing and polyethylene material should be removed from the
pallet for easy access to the snowplow.
3. Due to the odd shaped components and size of several assembly parts,
various nylon ties and corrugates are used for scratch resistance and
package orientation. Please remove these items prior to assembly.
4. Place the main blade assembly on a flat, level surface.
Once you have inspected all parts and removed all restraining and protective
packaging materials, your snowplow is ready to be fully assembled.
Pallet Wrap End Panel
The tear resistant woven polyethylene pallet
wrap contains a moisture barrier to help protect
all packaged components and keep out the most
inclement weather during shipping and storage.
The end panel of the pallet cover contains
important information regarding the make, model,
and year of the vehicle the enclosed undercar-
riage is to be installed on. The plow model number
and the serial number of the snowplow are given
together. The first three digits and/or two letters
in the the number indicated is always the plow
model – 800 or 760LD – and the entire seven
(nine) digit number make up the serial number.
The packaging list is also attached to the end
panel. Be sure to retain this list for your records.
04 Assem. Instructions - Moldboard & A-frame
Moldboard & A-Frame Assembly
1. Begin the moldboard assembly by positioning the PIVOT BEAM and
A-FRAME near the connecting points at the rear of the blade between
the two center support ribs. Position the pivot beam between the two
support ribs until the connecting points on the beam align with those on
the plow. Insert one 3/4"-10 x 3-1/2" hex head screw through each mounting
hole and secure with a 3/4"-10 top lock nut. Tighten each nut until it is
snug with the pivot beam.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten hex head nuts! Binding may
prohibit the pivot beam from moving properly on the plow.
Note: To aid in the remaining installation, rotate the spring loaded kick-
stand clockwise until it locks into place. Adjust the foot on the kickstand
arm so the height of the A-frame, at its mount points, is 12-1/2" to level
ground (See diagram on page 7). Tighten both of the 1/2"-13 top lock nuts
on the kickstand.
2. Position each ANGLE CYLINDER with the rod end of the cylinder in the
pivot beam and the hydraulic hose port facing away from the A-frame.
Secure the cylinder to the pivot beam with one 3/4"-10 x 5" (3/4"-10 x
4-1/2" for 760LD only) hex cap screw and one 3/4"-10 top lock nut. Extend
each cylinder rod until the cylinder base mounting hole aligns with the
hole on the A-frame angle cylinder bracket. At this point, insert one
3/4"-10 x 5" (3/4"-10 x 4-1/2") hex cap screw through the aligned holes
and secure the screw with one 3/4" top lock nut. Repeat the same instal-
lation for the opposite angle cylinder.
3. Remove each dust cap from both of the hydraulic angle cylinder ports
and attach one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 90˚ ADJUSTABLE ELBOW O.R.B.
ADAPTER to each port. Note: All of the hydraulic adapters can be found
packaged with the manifold assembly. Hand tighten each adapter until
snug, then torque approximately 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 flats. Reference the table
on page 5 for proper torque specifications. Angle each adapter toward
the top of the moldboard and tighten approximately 1-1/2 flats. Connect
the 3/8" x 24" hydraulic hose, labeled #1, to the driver’s side angle cylinder
adapter. Attach the 3/8" x 24" hydraulic hose, identified by a #2, to the
passenger’s side angle cylinder adapter. Be careful not to overtighten the
hose connections. Route both hoses over the top of each angle cylinder.
4. Next, remove both of the plastic dust caps from the HYDRAULIC LIFT
CYLINDER ports. Attach one 7/16"-20 x 7/16"-20 45˚ ADJUSTABLE
ELBOW O.R.B. ADAPTER to the driver’s side port and one 7/16"-20 x
7/16"-20 MALE O.R.B. CONNECTOR ADAPTER to the passenger’s side
port. Once the adapters have been installed on the cylinder, connect the
HYDRAULIC HOSES. The 45˚ adapter on the driver’s side of the cylinder
receives a 1/4" x 17" hose identified by a label containing the number 3.
Connect the 45˚ angle on the hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder.
The male connector adapter on the passenger’s side of the cylinder
receives a 1/4" x 15" hose identified by a label containing the number 4.
Tighten the 45˚ end of the hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder.
Both hoses should be routed through the triangular openings in the A-frame.
5. Next, use a screwdriver to pull the hydraulic cylinder rod out from its
base. Place one 1-1/4" (1", 2" O.D. for 760LD only) diameter washer over
the cylinder rod, followed by the 12" COMPRESSION SPRING and another
1-1/4" (1", 2-1/4" O.D. for 760LD only) washer. Compress the coils approx-

grips. This will help facilitate the draw latch installation.
6. Begin the draw latch installation by first removing both of the 6" extension
springs on the latch. Proceed to remove both 1/2"-13 x 2" bolts with
washers and spacers from the DRAW LATCH BOLT MOUNT PIN. Once
the springs and hardware have been removed, loosen the SET SCREW
on the OUTER DRAW LATCH PLATE using a 1/8" Allen wrench and
remove the draw latch bolt mount pin from the assembly.
Next, remove the 1" x 4-1/2" (1" x 3-7/8" for 760LD only) DRAW LATCH
MOUNT PIN from the assembly. By removing this pin, the INNER DRAW
LATCH PLATES can swing free. Proceed to remove the 3/4" x 2-1/2"
(5/8" x 2-3/8" for 760LD only) INNER DRAW LATCH PLATE CYLINDER
MOUNT PIN. Position the plates on either side of the lift/lower cylinder rod
and insert the 3/4" x 2-1/2" (5/8" x 2-3/8") pin through the plates and
cylinder rod. Note: The A-FRAME LATCH, located at the rear center of the
A-frame, should be in the down position. Pull the A-FRAME LATCH PULL
PIN out and rotate the latch clockwise if it is in the raised position. Now
that the cylinder is connected to the inner draw latch plates, rotate the draw
latch assembly toward the draw latch mount holes on the A-frame. Align
the holes in the outer draw latch plate with those of the inner draw latch
plates and the A-frame. Secure the assembly to the A-frame by replacing
the draw latch mount pin. Remove the vise grips from the cylinder rod.
This will allow the compression spring to expand against the draw latch.
Rotate the A-frame latch counterclockwise until the A-frame latch pull pin
locks into place. Next, replace the draw latch bolt mount pin. The pin
should be evenly spaced on either side of the outer draw latch plates.
Tighten the set screw to secure the pin in place. Complete the draw latch
assembly by replacing the washers, spacers, extension springs and bolts
on both sides of the draw latch bolt mount pin.
Draw Latch Assembly
The draw latch consists of a series of intercon-
nected plates and pins that attach to the A-frame
and the hydraulic cylinder that raises and lowers
the plow. The draw latch is also the most difficult
component to install on the entire plow and may
require the help of a second technician.

Latch
To mount the straight blade, the A-frame latch
should be lowered over the spring mount – this
allows the draw latch to pull the plow into the
undercarriage. Once the plow is safely attached
to the undercarriage, rotate the A-frame latch
counterclockwise until the lock pin snaps in place.
The A-frame latch is only used to mount the plow.
Once you have completed the draw latch installation, we will shift our
attention to assembly of the manifold. The manifold, pump and coil harness
have been joined together at the factory; however, the manifold contains
several components that you will need to install prior to securing the assembly
to the A-frame.
7. Each of the 4 HYDRAULIC HOSE PORTS on the MANIFOLD are covered
with stretch wrap. Remove the wrap and install the appropriate fitting in
its respective port.
Note: All ports are identified by a stamped number on the manifold. The
numbers also identify the hydraulic functions, which can be referenced on
the label under the hydraulic pump and manifold cover (see illustration).
06 Assem. Instructions - Moldboard & A-frame
Installing The Manifold Adapters
There are a total of 6 hydraulic adapters to install.
All of the adapters can be found packaged with
the manifold assembly. Remove the protective
stretch wrap from the manifold in a clean area.
DO NOT let any foreign objects enter into the
open ports. The valves can become contaminated
and greatly hinder the plow’s performance.
Review the table on page 5 for proper torque
specifications.
The gray arrows shown on the manifold illustration
to the right indicate the direction the 90˚ adapters
should face to receive the hydraulic hoses.

8. Next, align the mount holes in the pump with the holes in the hinged
bracket, located on the A-frame. Note: To help facilitate the pump mount,
first angle the hinged bracket as needed and tighten the bracket hardware,
locking it in place.
CAUTION: When installing the manifold between the mount
brackets on the A-frame, hold the manifold at the sides of the
block. Never handle the manifold by the wire lead coils. Doing
so can cause a solenoid cartridge to bend, causing the cartridge
to stick when activated.
Secure one 3/8"-16 x 3/4" hex cap screw and 3/8" flat washer through the
top mount hole in the bracket and into the pump. Insert one 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2"
threaded stud and jam nylon insert lock nut through the bottom mount
hole in the bracket and into the pump. The threaded stud should bottom
out in the pump.
9. Once the pump and manifold assembly is in place, connect the hydraulic
hoses to their respective adapters on the manifold. Remember, the labeling
on the hydraulic hoses correspond with the stamped numbers on the
manifold.
Begin installing the hoses with the driver’s side raise cylinder hose (#3).
Attach the straight end of the hose to the 7/16"-20 x 9/16"-18 90˚ swivel
elbow adapter on the manifold. Connect the passenger’s side lower cylinder
hose to Port #4. Loop the hose through the opening in the A-frame and
connect the straight end of the hose to the 7/16"-20 90˚ swivel elbow adapter.
Run both angle cylinder hoses (#1 and #2) over the A-frame angle and
to their respective manifold ports. Note: The lift cylinder hoses should be
routed through the triangular openings in the A-frame.
10. Next, secure the manifold to the A-frame. Remove both 3/8" flat washers,
3/8" split lock washers and 3/8"-16 x 1" hex cap screws from the manifold
and align the mount holes with the A-frame brackets. Position the DIODE
PACK MOUNT BRACKET against the outside of the A-frame bracket on
the driver’s side. Note: Both of the prongs should be facing up. Align the
outside hole on the diode bracket with the holes on the A-frame and
manifold. Properly replace and tighten all hardware.
11. Hook each EXTENSION SPRING to the 3/4" diameter receiving holes
located on the pivot beam and connect the opposite end of the spring to
their respective SPADE BOLTS. Install the four 5/8"-11 x 6-11/16" (three
5/8"-11 x 5" for 760LD only) spade bolts through the EXTENSION SPRING
MOUNTING ANGLE on the top rear of the blade. Secure each spade bolt
by placing one 5/8" flat washer on the bolt and thread one 5/8"-11 nylon
insert lock nut. Tighten each lock nut until light appears between the coils
of the spring.
12. Install the flexible BLADE GUIDES at each end of the moldboard. Insert
the 5/16"-18 x 1" hex head screw through the holes provided at the top
of the outside reinforcement rib. Tighten all screws using the nylon insert
lock nuts provided.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed half of the installation.
Don’t quit now! You’re nearly out of the garage.
When installing the manifold between the mount
brackets on the A-frame, DO NOT handle the
manifold by the wire lead coils. The solenoid
cartridges can bend, causing them to stick when
activated. Always carry the manifold by the sides
of the aluminum block.
The kickstand is mounted to the side of the pivot
beam with one 1/2"-13 x 4-1/2" hex cap screw
and top lock nut. To pivot the kickstand, simply
pull the spring loaded leg out and rotate it until
the pin locks into place. The kickstand also has
an adjustable foot that can be moved to accom-
modate varying vehicle heights. The proper
height of your snowplow mounting points to level
ground should be set at 12-1/2".

the COIL WIRE LEAD HARNESS, from the manifold, to the 3/8"-16 x 1"
welded ground bolt on the A-frame. Secure both grounds to the A-frame
with a 3/8"-16 top lock nut. Note: If your plow only has a hole in the
passenger’s side A-frame angle, a 3/8"-16 x 1" bolt, nut and 3/8" tooth
lock washer can be found in the packaged hardware kit.
3. Remove the hex jam nut and external tooth lock washer from the POWER
HITCH CONNECT/DISCONNECT TOGGLE SWITCH and insert it through
the back of the mounting bracket on the A-frame. Align the notch in the
key washer on the switch to the notch on the bracket. Replace the lock
washer and jam nut and tighten until the switch is firmly in place. Next,
attach the connector on the plow harness to the switch. Note: Use caution
when making the connection. Switches can break if done forcefully.
4. Continue the harness installation by connecting the FEMALE ELECTRIC
CONNECTOR on the harness to the MALE ELECTRIC CONNECTOR
found on the coil wire lead harness attached to the manifold. Note: If the
plow harness you received contains a separate coil ground wire harness,
disregard this part (see illustration to the left). The coils on the manifold
are grounded to the A-frame. See step number two above.
5. Finalize the harness installation by sliding the DIODE PACK over the
diode pack mount bracket located behind the connect/disconnect toggle
switch.Position the wire harness braid in the notch on the switch bracket
and secure it with a nylon tie.The diode pack mount bracket contains an
extra hole for a nylon tie. Use it to secure the pack from moving.
6. To install the PUMP & MANIFOLD COVER, position it over the rear
brackets on the A-frame and align the notches in the cover with the welded
bolts on the brackets. Secure the cover with two 3/8" washers and wing
nuts.Verify the cover is positioned over the protective toggle switch hood.
Pop the front of the cover on the threaded stud and secure it with one
3/8" washer and wing nut.
Congratulations! You have just completed building the finest snowplow available!
However, the vehicle wire harness still needs to be installed. That is the focus
of the second half of the electrical assembly instruction.
A separate coil ground wire harness (P/N 62037),
pictured above, was packaged with the plow
harnesses during the 2000-01 season. This part
is no longer needed for use with the new electrical
system. The wire lead coil harness contains a
ground terminal that attaches to the A-frame.
