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
or two-way radios.
VENTILATION
BATTERY SAFETY
NOISE
Airborne noise emission during use is below 70 dB(A)
for the snowplow operator.
SAFETY
WARNING
Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes.
Breathing these fumes, even in low
concentrations, can 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
Batteries normally produce explosive gases,
which can cause personal injury. Therefore,
do not allow flames, sparks or lit tobacco
to come near the battery. When charging or
working near a battery, always cover your
face and protect your eyes, and also provide
ventilation.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which burns
skin, eyes and clothing.
• Disconnect the battery before removing or
replacing any electrical components.

Lit. No. B64093, Rev. 09 7 April 15, 2011
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 Undercarriage Selection Guide is
based on available vehicle capacity for snowplow
equipment on a representative vehicle equipped
with options commonly used for snowplowing 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 Undercarriage Selection
Guide has specific vehicle and snowplow
requirements.
VEHICLE APPLICATION INFORMATION
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. B64093, Rev. 09 8 April 15, 2011
OPERATION
Your SPEEDWING™ snowplow is the newest
multi-position snowplow on the market. The
easy-to-use controls allow you to automatically adjust
the snowplow blade into a variety of plowing positions.
Review the illustrations below for instruction on
maneuvering your snowplow.
A. Lowered or Float Position
Pushing the joystick forward, toward the
"Lower/Float" designation on the label, or pushing
the D button on the touchpad will lower your blade
to the ground. Pushing and momentarily holding
the control in this position 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, or pushing the U button
on the touchpad will lift your blade off the ground.
To stop raising the snowplow, simply return the
joystick to its neutral (center) position or release the
touchpad button. The snowplow has reached its
maximum raised height when the blade stops lifting.
C. BUCKET BLADE™ Position
(7'-7" or 8'-7" Blade Width)
Automatic position when blade is not angled;
creates a scoop and eliminates trails.
• Primary position for transporting snow
• For use in initial clearing with decent visibility,
transporting large volumes of snow, final clean-up
• Ideal application: residential driveways, small
roads, roadway intersections
D. Angled Width with Trailing Wing
(6'-7" or 7'-10" Blade Width)
To angle your blade, position the joystick toward
the "R" or "L" on the label or push the R or L
button on the touchpad. An angled blade will
automatically extend the trailing wing. To stop
angling the blade, return the joystick to its neutral
(center) position or release the touchpad button.
The blade has reached its maximum angled
position when it
stops moving to the side.
• 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
E. Back Blade Position
(8'-7" or 9'-9" Blade Width)
Lock the wings into place to create the largest
clearing path and get the most out of your wings.
• 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
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.

MOLDBOARD & A-FRAME ASSEMBLY
8. 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: Install the adapters as shown on the
manifold above to correctly receive the hydraulic
hoses.
NOTE: The flow control will need to be removed to
install the fitting into Port #3.
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.
9. Remove the washers, split lock washers and cap
screws from the manifold. Save this hardware to
be reused later.
Align the mount holes in the pump with the holes
in the bracket, located on the A-frame.
Insert 3/8" x 1-3/4" threaded stud with a
3/8" locknut through the bottom mount hole
and line it up with the bottom mount hole in the
manifold. Tighten the stud using the locknut. The
stud should bottom out in the manifold. Secure
the manifold through the top mounting hole with a
3/8" x 3/4" cap screw and 3/8" flat washer.
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.
10. Connect the hydraulic hoses to their respective
adapters on the manifold. Hose PN B60273 Port #3;
Hose PN B60274 Port #4; Hose PN B60452 Port #2
and Hose PN B60451 (45° angle at manifold end)
Port #1. Tighten hoses per torque chart.
NOTE: Both lift cylinder hoses 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.

13. 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.
14. 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.
MOLDBOARD & A-FRAME ASSEMBLY
11. Secure the manifold to the A-frame. 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.
12. Insert the cable through the pivot bushing from
center. Pin on A-frame extensions. Slide cable
through spring. Add washer and nut. Adjust nuts
on cable at full angle so that the wing stops just
touch the outside moldboard ribs.
NOTE: Too much adjustment will cause the wings
to stop before the snowplow is fully angled and
could stretch the cables.
Adjust with snowplow centered, then angle to
see if stops are touching. Install and lock in place
with jam nut. The blade needs to be operational
and installed on the vehicle to complete these
adjustments.
