public property.
Operation
•Hydraulic connections may be hot after use. Use
gloves if connecting or disconnecting after use.
•Check and be sure all operating controls are in
neutral before starting the engine.
•Keep people away from loader and attachment
when in use. This attachment has moving parts.
•Always stay in the operator’s position when using
the attachment.
Operation (continued)
•NEVER operate near embankments or terrain that
is so steep that rollover could occur.
•Before leaving the operator’s position, lower the
attachment to rest flat on the ground, stop engine,
relieve hydraulic pressure to the attachment, set
park brake, and wait for all motion to stop.
•NEVER place hands near moving parts or clear
debris while engine is running.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard
•Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
•Avoid the hazard by relieving the
pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines.
•Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY
PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when servicing or performing maintenance on
hydraulic systems.
•If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
Maintenance
•NEVER make adjustments, lubricate, clean, or
perform any service on the machine while it is in
operation.
•Make sure the attachment is serviced on a daily
basis. Improper maintenance can cause serious
injury or death in addition to damage to the

USER’S MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
After the initial set-up assembly is completed, use the following procedure to mount the attachment to the loader.
Coupler wedges or pins must extend through holes in attachment. Levers must be fully
down and locked. Failure to secure wedges or pins can allow the attachment to come off and cause injury
or death.
1. Use the step, safety treads, and grab handles to
get on and off the loader and attachment.
2. Sitting in the operator’s seat, lower seat bar (if so
equipped) and fasten the seat belt.
3. Drive the loader to the rear of the attachment. Put
the loader quick attach coupler into theattachment
mounting bracket.
4. Tilt the loader coupler backward a small amount
until it is fully engaged in the attachment mounting
bracket.
5. Stop the engine and engage the park brake.
6. Secure the coupler locking mechanism that
attaches the attachment to the loader.

8
USER’S MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Connect the hydraulic quick couplers from the
attachment to the loader.
IMPORTANT: Wipe the ends of the hydraulic
quick couplers (both lead and loader) with a rag
to remove any possible contamination.
Contamination can cause hydraulic components
to fail and is not covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the quick couplers are
fully engaged. If the quick couplers do not fully
engage, check to see that the couplers are the
same size and brand. Do not force the quick
couplers together.
NOTE: See the loader’s operator’s manual for
auxiliary hydraulic specifications and connection
instructions.
NOTE: Attachment is shipped with 8FJX (1/2”
Female JIC Swivel) fittings on the ends of the
lead hoses.
8. Make sure the hoses are properly routed to fit
your specific loader. If the hoses are not routed
correctly, hoses may get pinched or rub on tires.
Be sure to check the hose routing through the full
range of intended motion of the attachment
before operating it.
More than one routing may be acceptable
depending on the loader. Pick the routing that
best suits your loader.
IMPORTANT: Proper hose routing is the
responsibility of the owner and/or operator.
Pinched or stretched hoses are not covered
under warranty.
Mounting is now complete and the attachment is
ready for operation. Use reverse order of above
instructions to dismount the attachment from the
loader.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
V

Scoop
Angle Right
Angle Left
IMPORTANT: The v-plow is designed for snow
removal only. It is not designed for moving or grading
soil.
1. With the operator in the seat of the loader, the seat
belt fastened, and the seat bar lowered (if so
equipped), start the engine.
2. With the loader lift arms fully lowered, tilt the
attachment forward to rest on the skid shoes.
3. Drive the loader forward to push snow.
4. Use the loader lift and tilt functions to increase
traction and adjust the pitch of the v-plow.
Blade Angle
The v-plow utilizes a specially designed valve block to
change the blade orientation without the requirement
of an electrical attachment control system. The valve
block isolates one side of the attachment as the
priority side, with the secondary side moving once the
priority side has reached the end of its stroke.
1. Activate the auxiliary hydraulic circuit to move the
priority side to the desired position and keep it
activated until the secondary side has moved to
the desired configuration.
2. To move the blades into a position other than the
end of the stroke, activate the auxiliary hydraulic
circuit until the secondary side is in the desired
position, then reverse the hydraulic flow until the
priority side in in the desired position.
NOTE: The blades may have to be repositioned after
hard contact with a solid object. This is normal due to
the design of the valve block.
Trip Springs
The v-plow is equipped with trip springs which allow
the cutting edge to trip when it strikes an obstruction.
This helps to protect the attachment and the
obstruction from damage.
To reset the trip springs after striking an obstruction,
raise the loader lift arms to lift the attachment slightly
off of the ground, or slowly drive the loader backward
a few feet.

10
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Lower the attachment to rest flat on the ground, shut down the engine, relieve the
hydraulic pressure to the attachment, set the park brake, and wait for all motion to stop before leaving
the operator’s seat to perform service of any kind.
It is the operator’s responsibility to make daily inspections of the loader and attachment for damage, loose bolts,
fluid leaks, or anything else that could cause a potential service or safety problem. Preventive maintenance is
the easiest and least expensive type of maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Bolts can loosen after initial usage. After the first hour of operation check all bolts.

Use No. 2 lithium base gun grease when lubricating
all attachment grease fittings.
Grease both mounting plate pivot bushings [A] every
8 hours of operation.

2. Remove the lynch pin [D] from the first skid shoe
and slide the skid shoe out of the mount bushing.
3. Install spacer washers [E] on the skid shoe to
achieve the desired cutting edge height, and slide
the skid shoe back into the mount bushing.
4. Store remaining spacer washers on top of the
mount bushing, an install the lynch pin to secure
the skid shoe and washers in place.
