SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper installation and operation could cause
personal injury and/or equipment and property
damage. Read and understand labels and the
Owner's Manual before installing, operating, or making
adjustments.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Always inspect hydraulic components and hoses
before using. Replace any damaged or worn parts
immediately.
• If you suspect a hose leak, DO NOT use your
hand to locate it. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood.
FUSES
The snowplow electrical and hydraulic systems
contain several automotive-style fuses. If a problem
should occur and fuse replacement is necessary,
the replacement fuse must be of the same type and
amperage rating as the original. Installing a fuse with a
higher rating could damage the system and could start
a fire. Fuse Replacement, including fuse ratings and
locations, is located in the Maintenance section of this
Owner's Manual.
SAFETY
WARNING
Lower blade when vehicle is parked.
Temperature changes could change
hydraulic pressure, causing the blade to
drop unexpectedly or damaging hydraulic
components. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
CAUTION
See your BLIZZARD®outlet for application
recommendations.
CAUTION
Plowing speed should not exceed 10 mph
(16 km/h).
CAUTION
Transport speed should not exceed 45 mph
(72 km/h). Further reduce speed under adverse
travel conditions.
CAUTION
Read Owner's Manual before operating or
servicing snowplow.
WARNING
Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR including the
blade and ballast. The rating label is found on
the driver-side vehicle door cornerpost.
WARNING
Remove blade assembly before placing
vehicle on hoist.
WARNING
The driver shall keep bystanders clear of the
blade when it is being raised, lowered, or
angled. Do not stand between the vehicle and

moving or falling blade could cause personal
injury.
WARNING
You can die or be seriously injured. Keep
hands and feet away from hitch mechanism
and snowplow blade when operating the
POWER HITCH™ arm. The action of the arm
moves the snowplow toward the vehicle and
into position for proper attachment.
WARNING
To prevent accidental movement of the blade,
always turn the control OFF whenever the
snowplow is not in use. The power indicator
light will turn OFF.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can
cause skin injection injury. If you are
injured by hydraulic fluid, get medical
attention immediately.

Lit. No. 68251, Rev. 09 6 May 1, 2021
PERSONAL SAFETY

battery acid, gasoline, dirt, and dust.
• Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine,
radiator, hoses, and exhaust pipes.
• Always have a fire extinguisher rated BC handy,
for flammable liquids and electrical fires.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline
to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away
from sources of heat or flame.
CELL PHONES
A driver's first responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. The most important thing you can do
to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay
attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate
mobile communication equipment such as cell phones,
text messaging devices, pagers, or two-way radios.
VENTILATION
BATTERY SAFETY
NOISE
Airborne noise emission during use is below 70 dB(A)
for the snowplow operator.
VIBRATION
Operating snowplow vibration does not exceed
2.5 m/s2to the hand-arm or 0.5 m/s2to the whole
body.
SAFETY
WARNING
Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes.
Breathing these fumes, even in low
concentrations, could cause death. Never
operate a vehicle in an enclosed area without
venting exhaust to the outside.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and gasoline
vapor is explosive. Never smoke while
working on vehicle. Keep all open flames
away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up
any spilled gasoline immediately.
CAUTION

VEHICLE APPLICATION INFORMATION
Vehicle application recommendations are based on
the following:
• The vehicle with the snowplow installed must
comply with applicable Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
• The vehicle with the snowplow installed must
comply with the vehicle manufacturer's stated
gross vehicle and axle weight ratings (found on
the driver-side door cornerpost of the vehicle) and
the front and rear weight distribution ratio. In some
cases, rear ballast may be required to comply with
these requirements.
• BLIZZARD Power Match selection system is
based on available vehicle capacity for snowplow
equipment on a representative vehicle equipped
with options commonly used for plowing and with
300 lb of front seat occupant weight.
• Weights of front seat occupants can be adjusted
above 300 lb, but vehicle with snowplow must not
exceed vehicle GVWR or GAWR.
• In some cases there may be additional limitations
and requirements.
• Installation, modification and addition of
accessories must comply with published
BLIZZARD recommendations and instructions.
Available capacity decreases as the vehicle is
loaded with cargo or other truck equipment or
snowplow accessories are installed.
• If there is uncertainty as to whether available
capacity exists, the actual vehicle as configured
must be weighed.
CAUTION
See your BLIZZARD®outlet for specific
vehicle application recommendations before
installation. The Power Match selection
system has specific vehicle and snowplow
requirements.
BALLAST REQUIREMENTS
Ballast (additional weight) is an important part of
qualifying vehicles for snowplow eligibility. Rear
ballast must be used when necessary to remain in
compliance with axle ratings and ratios as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer.
If ballast is required, it is important that it be secured
properly behind the rear axle. A ballast retainer kit is
available from your BLIZZARD outlet, PN 62849.
NOTE: The ballast retainer kit is for snowplow
vehicles requiring ballast. See your BLIZZARD
outlet for the correct amount of ballast required.
Include the weight of the retainer as part of the
ballast requirement. Sand bags are recommended
for use as ballast.
NOTE: Ballast recommended and its weight
calculations assume the entire width of the bed is
filled as close to tailgate as possible.
Position
and secure ballast
as close to the tailgate
as possible.

Lit. No. 68251, Rev. 09 8 May 1, 2021
OPERATION
Your POWER PLOW™ snowplow is the most
advanced and versatile snowplow on the market. The
easy-to-use controls allow you to automatically adjust
the snowplow blade and wings into an infinite number
of plowing positions. Review the illustrations below to
determine the best position for your plowing needs.
A. Compact Position

• Primary position when transporting the
snowplow
• For use in heavy snow conditions with poor
visibility, initial clearing and tight quarters
• Ideal application: residential driveways, small
roads
B. WIDE PASS™ Position
(10' or 11'3" Blade Width)
• Primary position for clearing large surfaces
• For use in light snow conditions with good
visibility, final clearing and clean-up
• Ideal application: large parking lots, widening
roadways
C. BUCKET BLADE™ Position
(9'3" or 9'10" Blade Width)
• Primary position for transporting snow
• For use in initial clearing with decent visibility,
transporting large volumes of snow, final
clean-up
• Ideal application: roadway intersections
D. WIDE PASS Position Angled with Wing
Forward
• Primary position for accelerated angled plowing
• For use in directional plowing, cornering,
diverting snow away from objects or buildings
• Ideal application: plowing adjacent to buildings,
driveway/road intersections
NOTE: To prevent premature failure of the power
contactor (solenoid), return the joystick to its
neutral (center) position, or release the touchpad
button, immediately after the blade reaches
the limit of any position. Continuing to hold the
control after the blade has reached the limit of
movement in any position will reduce the life of
the solenoid.

movement of the snowplow.
The 45° adapter receives a 3/8" x 17" hydraulic
hose (B60273). Connect the 45° angle on the
hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder.
The male connector adapter receives a
3/8" x 15" hydraulic hose (B60274). Connect 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. Tighten fittings
and hoses per torque chart.
6. 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 a 3/4" x 5" clevis pin (95739) and a
1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pin (90601). Extend each
cylinder rod until the cylinder base mounting hole
aligns with the hole on the A-frame angle cylinder
bracket. Insert another clevis pin and secure it
with a cotter pin.
7. Remove the dust cap from both of the
hydraulic angle cylinder ports and attach one
9/16" 90° adjustable elbow ORB adapter to
each port. Each adapter should be angled
toward the top of the moldboard. Connect one
3/8" x 24" hydraulic hose (B60091 or B60223) to
each angle cylinder adapter. Be careful not to
overtighten the hose connections. Route both
hoses over the TOP of each cylinder. This will
prevent them from hanging or being pinched.
Tighten fittings and hoses per torque chart.

up to insert the draw latch mount pin. Pull
the A-frame latch pin out and rotate the latch
counterclockwise if it is locked into position.
Secure the assembly to the A-frame by replacing
the draw latch mount pin, spacer, and cotter pin.
Reset the A-frame latch so the A-frame latch pin
locks into place.

NOTE: Before mounting the pump, angle the
hinged bracket as needed and tighten the bracket
hardware to lock it in place.
Secure with 3/8" x 3/4" cap screw and 3/8" flat
washer through the top mount hole in the bracket
and into the pump. Insert 3/8" x 1-3/4" threaded
stud with 3/8" locknut through the bottom mount
hole in the bracket and into the pump. The
threaded stud should bottom out in the pump.
NOTE: 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 coils. Doing so can cause a
solenoid cartridge to bend, causing the cartridge
to stick when activated.
NOTE: A medium-strength threadlocking
compound should be used on both of the pump
mount fasteners.
12. Connect the hydraulic hoses to their respective
adapters on the manifold. Hose PN B60091
or B60223 Ports #1 and #2, Hose PN B60273
Port #3, Hose PN B60274 Port #4, Hose
PN 49501 Ports #7 and #10, Hose PN 49501
Ports #8 and #9. Tighten hoses per torque chart.
NOTE: All hoses, except #1 and #2 (angle
cylinders) should be routed through the triangular
openings in the A-frame. Position these hoses
over the A-frame angle and to their respective
manifold ports.
NOTE: The hoses that operate the retract
functions (rod) of the cylinders are closest to the
base of each cylinder. The hoses that operate
the extend functions (base) of the cylinders are
closest to the rod of each cylinder.
10. Assemble the manifold. The manifold, pump,
and coil harness have been connected at the
factory; however, the manifold contains several
components that you will need to install prior to
securing the assembly to the A-frame. Each of the
hose ports on the manifold is covered with stretch
wrap. Remove the wrap and install the appropriate
fitting in its respective port. Tighten fittings and
hoses per torque chart.
NOTE: The arrows shown on the manifold
illustration indicate the direction in which the
90° adapters should be positioned to receive the
hydraulic hoses.
NOTE: DO NOT let any foreign objects enter
into the open ports. The valves can become
contaminated and greatly hinder the snowplow's
performance. Torque to proper specifications.
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.
11. Align the mount holes in the pump with the holes
in the hinged bracket, located on the A-frame.

14. Hook each extension spring to the receiving holes
on the pivot beam and attach the opposite end of
the spring to its respective spade bolts. Install the
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" locknut. Tighten each
locknut until a piece of paper can pass between
the third and fourth coils on the spring.
15. Install the blade guides at each end of the
moldboard. Insert the cap screw through the holes
at the top of the wing reinforcement rib. Tighten all
screws with locknuts.
13. Secure the manifold to the A-frame. Remove the
washers, split lock washers, and cap screws from
the manifold and align the mount holes with the
A-frame brackets. Properly replace and tighten all
hardware.
NOTE: A medium-strength threadlocking
compound should be used to secure the manifold
mount fasteners.
