04 Unpacking & Inspection
Assembly Instructions
Unpacking & Inspection
Your Blizzard Power Plow snowplow 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 at 1-888-680-8600.
Begin unpacking and inspection in the following order:
1. Remove the shipping document 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 cable ties and corrugated material 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 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 impor-
tant information regarding the snowplow model
and the plow’s serial number. Both of these num-
bers are given together. The first three digits, and
two letters, of the number indicated is always the
plow model – 810SS and the entire nine digit

Moldboard Assembly 05
Moldboard 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. Feed the right and left group of HYDRAULIC
HOSES protruding from the SLIDE BOX through the 1-1/2" diameter
rubber grommet openings in the front face of the pivot beam.
CAUTION: The hoses inside of the slide box are installed
such that they move laterally with the action of each wing.
To avoid damaging the hose connections and the wing and
slide box cylinders, pull approximately one foot of each
hose grouping toward the center of the moldboard. Verify
that there is approximately 12" of “slack” for each hose
grouping. Reposition both 12" lengths back into the slide
box–the hoses are now at a safe travel distance for operation.
The slide box is closed by two SLIDE BOX ACCESS PLATES. Rest
each grouping of hoses in the opening of the plates and position the
“lip” of each plate in the bottom, inside edge of both slide box open-
ings. Fasten each plate with two 1/4"-20 x 3/4" hex cap screws.
2. Position the pivot beam between the two support ribs until the con-
necting points on the beam align with those on the plow. Insert one
3/4"-10 x 3" (2" shank) hex head cap 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. Review the maximum bolt torque chart
on page 14.
3. 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"
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.
4. Install the flexible BLADE GUIDES at the end of each plow wing. Insert
the 5/16"-18 x 1" hex head screw through the holes provided at the
top of the wing reinforcement rib. Tighten all screws using the nylon
insert lock nuts provided.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed the first stage of
assembly for the Blizzard Power Plow Model 810SS. In the next section
you will assemble the A-frame and the components that are attached to it.

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 over-tighten
the hose connections. Complete the hose installation by running each
hose through the access holes in the A-frame to their respective
manifold ports.
4. The PRESSURE & TANK HYDRAULIC HOSES attach to the ports on
the side of the manifold labeled “P” and “T”. Verify that the 3/4" x 78"
hydraulic hose with the 1-1/16"-12 female swivel is attached to the
1-1/16"-12 x 1-1/16"-12 MALE O.R.B. CONNECTOR ADAPTER
located in the pressure port (“P”). The 3/4" x 78" hydraulic hose, with
the male O.R.B. 90˚ swivel, connects to the tank port (“T”). Once you
have completed the installation of the hydraulic hoses, begin to install
the wire harness.
When handling the hydraulic manifold DO NOT
hold the manifold by the wire lead coils. The sole-
noid cartridges can bend, causing them to stick
when activated. Always carry the manifold by the
sides of the aluminum block.
Electrical Assembly - Control Wire Harness
1. Begin the installation by connecting the MALE ELECTRIC CONNEC-
TOR found on the COIL WIRE HARNESS (on manifold) to the FEMALE
ELECTRIC CONNECTOR on the WIRE HARNESS EXTENSION
(PLOW). Once both connectors are locked together, feed the opposite
end of the wire harness extension through the top access hole (same
as 3/4" tank hydraulic hose) in the A-frame located on the driver’s side.
2. Locate the GROUND END RING TERMINAL on the coil wire harness
and wire harness extension. Using a 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" hex cap screw
and 3/8" tooth lock washer, ground both wires to the A-frame. Secure
the wires using a 3/8" top lock nut. Review the diagram below for the
proper ground location.
3. Next, connect the MOLDED RUBBER CONNECTOR from the wire
harness extension (plow) to the connector on the WIRE HARNESS
EXTENSION (VEHICLE). Lock together the remaining male electric
connector on the PISTOL GRIP CONTROL HARNESS to the female
electric connector on the wire harness extension (vehicle). Complete
the electrical assembly by attaching the BLACK, GROUND wire from
the wire harness extension to the cab of the skid steer. The PINK/
BLACK POWER wire connects to a switched (on and off with ignition)
Manifold Mount Holes
There are two sets of holes in the bottom plate on
the A-frame. One set contains two holes and is
used to mount the RED anodized manifold (see
diagram). The other set contains four holes and
can accept the CLEAR anodized manifold. When
mounting the red manifold, the hole in the upper
right serves as the location for the ground stud.
Use a 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" bolt, tooth lock washer and
3/8"-16 top lock nut to secure the electrical
grounds to the A-frame.

Congratulations! You have just completed building the finest snowplow
skid steer attachment available! However, the snowplow’s functions still
need to be tested.
Testing The Snowplow
1. To test all of the functions on the Power Plow, your snowplow needs
to be properly attached to the skid steer. Follow the mounting proce-
dure on page 9.
2. Once the skid steer plate and the UNIVERSAL MOUNT PLATE on the
A-frame have been locked together (using the locking levers on the
skid steer), complete the hydraulic connections with the skid steer
turned off. Note: Due to the various make and model skid steer avail-
able, hydraulic couplings for the auxiliary hydraulic connections are
not provided. Consult your skid steer’s Operation Manual for the
appropriate couplings needed. Once you have identified the appro-
priate hydraulic couplings for your skid steer, make the connections to
both of the 3/4" x 78" hydraulic hoses provided. The hydraulic hose
with the female swivel is attached to the male adapter connector
located in the pressure port (“P”) on the manifold. The remaining
hydraulic hose with the 90˚ swivel is attached to the tank port (“T”).
Complete the hydraulic installation by making the appropriate connect-
ions at the skid steer.
WARNING: Always use caution when connecting high-
pressure hydraulic fittings. Hydraulic fluid under pressure
can puncture skin causing serious injury or death. In the
event of a hydraulic leak, relieve hydraulic pressure before
loosening fittings. If injured, seek emergency medical help
immediately.
3. Start the skid steer and begin to initiate the Power Plow’s blade func-
tions. Note: Depending on the skid steer model, it may be necessary
to turn on the skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulic switch prior to operating
the plow. The left switch operates the DRIVER’S SIDE WING. Push
the switch UP to EXTEND the wing and DOWN to RETRACT the
wing. Push the center switch UP to LEFT ANGLE the snowplow and
DOWN to RIGHT ANGLE. The right switch operates the PASSENGER’S
SIDE WING. Again, pushing up will extend the wing and down will
retract the wing. Upon initiating the switches on the pistol grip control,
you may notice a plow function is slow or delayed. The hydraulic fluid
is filling the cylinders and replacing air in the system. If necessary,
monitor the hydraulic fluid level in your skid steer. Also, look for any
leaks around the manifold, hydraulic hoses and all cylinders.
Congratulations on a successful assembly and installation! Once all of the
blade functions have been tested, your Blizzard Power Plow is ready for
action. Should you need additional support during a plow assembly, con-
tact your local authorized Blizzard Dealer or call our Customer Service
Department toll free at 1-888-680-8600.

(B) ANGLE: UP-Left, DOWN-Right
(C) PASS. BOX: UP-Extend, DOWN-Retract
Pistol Grip Control Mount Bracket
The bracket is designed to mount in a variety of
positions (see hole placement above). Use the
hardware provided to secure the bracket to the
skid steer.
Position the pistol grip control into the bracket
and “twist-lock” it into place. Depending on oper-
ator preference, the control can be mounted
vertically or horizontally.
Note: Some skid steer models have safety
devices that rotate in front of the operator when
seated. Do not install the mount bracket such that
it interferes with the operation of these devices.
