Unpacking & Inspection
Your Blizzard Power Plow 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.

04 Assem. Instructions - Moldboard & A-frame
Feed each group of hoses (four per side) through
the 1-1/2" diameter holes in the pivot beam and
up through the A-frame openings. Positioning
the hoses through the pivot beam supports the
hoses while the snowplow is in use and prevents
them from dragging on the ground.
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. 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 approx-
imately 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 openings. 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 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 8). Tighten both of the 1/2"-13 top lock nuts
on the kickstand.
3. 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" 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" hex cap screw through the
aligned holes and secure the screw with one 3/4" top lock nut. Repeat
the same installation for the opposite angle cylinder.
4. 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.

5. 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.
6. Next, use a screwdriver to pull the hydraulic cylinder rod out from its
base. Place one 1-1/4" diameter washer over the cylinder rod, followed
by the 12" COMPRESSION SPRING and another 1-1/4" washer. Compress
the coils approximately 2" and clamp the spring and washers in place
using a pair of vise grips. This will help facilitate the draw latch installation.
7. 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" 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" INNER DRAW LATCH

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.

lift/lower cylinder rod and insert the 3/4" x 2-1/2" 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.
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
preassembled at the factory; however, the manifold contains several compo-
nents that you will need to install prior to securing the assembly to the A-frame.
8. Each of the 12 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 page 7).

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.
Installing The Manifold Adapters
There are a total of 24 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.

9. 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 hard-
ware, 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 car-
tridge 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.
10. Once the pump and manifold assembly is in place, connect the hydraulic
hoses to their respective adapters on the manifold. Remember, the label-
ing on the hydraulic hoses correspond with the stamped numbers on the
manifold.
Begin installing the hoses with the driver’s side slide box retract hose (#7).
Continue installing hoses # 10, 1, 6, 11, 2, 5, 8, 3, 4, 12, and 9. Installing
the hoses in this order will provide the best clearance for securing each
hose to the manifold. Note: All hoses, except #1 & #2 (angle cylinders)
should be routed through the triangular openings in the A-frame.
11. 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
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 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.

1. Begin the installation by connecting the RED POWER WIRE to the PUMP
motor terminal using the hardware provided on the pump.
2. Place one 3/8" TOOTH LOCK WASHER, BLACK GROUND WIRE from
the PLOW ELECTRICAL HARNESS and the RED GROUND WIRE on
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. The coils on the manifold are grounded to the A-frame.
See step number two above.
