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 FISHER®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 can damage the system and could start
a fire. Fuse Replacement, including fuse ratings and
locations, is located in the Maintenance section of the
Owner's Manual.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Remove the ignition key and put the vehicle in
PARK or in gear to prevent others from starting
the vehicle during installation or service.
• Wear only snug-fitting clothing while working on
your vehicle or snowplow.
• Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure long
hair.
• Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from
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.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can cause skin
injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic
fluid, get medical attention immediately.
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.
WARNING
Lower the 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.
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 vehicle and
blade or within 8 feet of a moving blade. A
moving or falling blade could cause personal
injury.
WARNING
Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR, including
blade and ballast. The rating label is found on
driver-side vehicle door cornerpost.
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
Keep hands and feet clear of the blade and
T-frame when mounting or removing the
snowplow. Moving or falling assemblies could
cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Refer to the current eMatch selection system
for minimum vehicle recommendations and
ballast requirements.

Lit. No. 74916, Rev. 02 4 August 1, 2020
95150, 95160, 95180-3, 95190-3
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.
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.
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.

HEADGEAR TO T-FRAME ASSEMBLY
NOTE: For easier assembly and installation, the
vehicle and all snowplow components should
be on a smooth, level, hard surface, such as
concrete.
1. With the vehicle parked on a solid, level surface,
measure the distance from the center of the
connecting pin hole to the ground. Refer to the
table below to determine which T-frame hole
should be used to attach the headgear to the push
assembly. If the vehicle is unavailable, use hole 2
and reposition the headgear later if necessary.

5. While supporting the headgear, remove the self-
tapping screw from each shipping bracket and
discard.
6. Remove the cable ties and discard. Remove and
retain the 3/4" x 2-1/2" clevis pins. Discard the
shipping brackets.
7. Remove the packaging from the lift chain so that
it has enough slack for the headgear to move
upward as necessary.
8. Align the headgear holes with the T-frame holes
selected above. Connect the headgear to the
T-frame by installing the two 3/4" x 2-1/2" clevis
pins from the outside of the headgear through
both sets of holes. Install 3/4" flat washers and
5/32" x 1-1/2" cotter pins from the parts bag to the
clevis pins.

T-FRAME TO BLADE ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the blade wings from the metal shipping
brackets. Discard the shipping brackets and
replace the cutting edge hardware.
2. Align the hinges of the blade wings. Position the
T-frame assembly between the blade wings so
that the pivot holes in the T-frame are aligned with
the holes in the wing hinges.
3. Insert the pivot pin from top to bottom through all
the hinges as shown below.
4. With the snowplow in normal operating position,
pull the jack lock to lower the jack to support the

secure each rod to the blade. Secure the clevis
pins with 5/32" x 1-1/2" cotter pins as shown.
8. Install the center snow deflector using two
3/8" x 1-1/2" cap screws and 3/8" locknuts.

HEADLAMPS
Headlamps, hardware, and instructions are found in
the headlamp box.
1. Install the vehicle wiring according to the
instructions provided.
2. With the driver- and passenger-side headlamps on
the correct sides, set each headlamp and swivel
into place on the headgear light bar.
3. Secure the headlamps with the correct hardware
for the application as shown below. Inner and
outer posts require different hardware. On LED
headlamps, a rubber washer must be installed
under the slotted holes. Hand tighten fasteners.
4. Connect the headlamp wires to the headlamps.
5. Aim the headlamps according to the Snowplow
Headlamp Beam Aiming Instructions
(Lit. No. 27769). For LED headlamps,
tighten the fasteners to 22 ft-lb (30 N·m). For
halogen headlamps, tighten the fasteners to
50 ft-lb (68 N·m).

4. Turn the control ON and completely extend and
retract the driver-side wing several times. Repeat
for the passenger-side wing. With both wings fully
retracted, raise and lower the snowplow several
times. Activate the control FLOAT function and
manually collapse the lift ram all the way. Turn the
control OFF.
5. Remove the fill plug and check the fluid level.
With the snowplow wings and lift ram fully
retracted, the fluid level should reach the fill hole.
If additional fluid is needed, fill the reservoir
with FISHER®EZ Flow Hydraulic Fluid rated
to –40°F (–40°C), or other fluid conforming to
Military Specification MIL-H-5606 A, such as
Mobil Aero HFA or Shell AeroShell®Fluid 4.
NOTE: Remove the fill plug slowly to relieve any
pressure in the reservoir.
NOTE: Add fluid only when all rams are retracted.
6. Replace and tighten the fill plug.
CAUTION
Do not mix different types of hydraulic fluid.
Some fluids are not compatible and may cause
performance problems and product damage.
FLUID CAPACITY
• Insta-Act®Unit Reservoir 1-3/4 quarts
• Insta-Act System Total 2-1/8 quarts
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.

BLADE DROP SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The quill in the valve manifold adjusts the blade drop
speed.
1. Lower the blade to the ground before making
adjustments.
2. Turn the quill IN (clockwise) to decrease drop
speed. Turn the quill OUT (counterclockwise) to
increase drop speed.
3. Stand 8 feet clear of the blade when checking
adjustment.
4. Replace the hydraulic unit cover.
WARNING
Keep 8' clear of the blade when it is being
raised, lowered, or angled. Do not stand
between the vehicle and the blade or directly
in front of the blade. If the blade hits or drops
on you, you could be seriously injured.
