4. USAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT & COMPONENTS
PRESCRIBED USE (S)
This equipment must be connected to a motorized vehicle and used for outdoor snow
removal and to accomplish the following operations:
a) Push snow forward.
b) Backdrag snow.
c) Windrow snow left or right.
* Always wear a seat belt when operating a motor vehicle.
Any other non-prescribed use of this equipment will void any warranty or liability.
DURING OPERATION
a) Make sure that no one is in your area of operation, keeping a lookout for blind
spots.
b) Do not clear snow at excessively high speeds.
c) Avoid hitting any objects that could damage the equipment.
DURING INACTIVITY
* Before adjusting or repairing equipment, always apply the parking brakes, stop the
engine, and lower the equipment to the ground.
Always be cautious when leaving equipment unattended.
a) Lower the snow blade to the ground when parking your vehicle for extended
period of time.
b) Set all switches to the “OFF” position to prevent the snow plow from draining
power from the vehicle’s battery. The equipment may continue to draw current if the
control switch is turned to the“ON”position; possibly causing insufficient charge to
restart the vehicle.
Any breakage CAUSED BY excessive collision may not be covered under warranty

6. INITIAL ASSEMBLY
Upon initial receipt of the equipment, some assembly may be required, check the
following:
6.1 HYDRAULIC HOSES
The equipment may require additional hydraulic hoses from the vehicle to the snow
plow. It is the responsibility of the user to supply these. Hydraulic hoses must be
routed and positioned in a way that they do not bind with mobile parts of the equip-
ment. In certain conditions, it is recommended to add supports or protective sheath
to to keep the hydraulic hoses protected. (Fig.2)
Warning: Diverter valves are available in 12 or 24 volts. Verify the coils on the
valve to appropriately feed the correct voltage.
Warning: The fuse associated with the power source must not exceed 10 amps.

6.3 QUICK COUPLER INSTALLATION
In order to attach the plow to a loader, follow these procedures.
Using the loader’s quick coupler, approach the plow with caution and hook onto it.
Make sure the locking pins are activated.
6.2 HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
a) It is strongly recommended that all hydraulic components (fittings, valves,
cylinders etc.) be verified before initial operation. It is the owner’s responsibility to make
sure that all components are secure, operational and free of leaks.
b) Hydraulic hoses will need to be provided and installed from the loader to the
diverter valve. Hoses arriving from the loader must enter port A1, A2 or P1, P2 of the
diverter valve. Depending on model of valve these ports may either be on the left or the
right side of the valve. (Fig.2)
c) Attached to the diverter valve is a wiring harness. Run the wiring up the loader arms
and into the cab. Depending on model chosen, install the controller
accordingly. In the cab, it will be necessary to hook up the wiring into an available and
adequate power source.
d) Required power source (either 12 or 24 volts) will be dictated by the voltage of the
coils.
e) The wiring harness includes a male/female sealed connector (Fig.2.1). This connector
is useful when detaching the snow plow from the vehicle. It is strongly recommended to
add electrical grease on the connectors (Fig.2.2). It is also imperative that the operator
takes care to prevent moisture from entering the connector. Safety caps with molded
rubber seals are included and must be used properly when coupling and uncoupling the
blade to prevent possible failure of the wiring harness.
f) The hydraulic wings are equipped with flow control valves. Is is important that these
valves are adjusted correctly to allow a smooth rotation of the wings.
g) Relief valves (Fig.2) are installed for protection of the hydraulic cylinders. These are
pre-set at the factory. It is not recommended to adjust these without prior approval from
Metal Pless. If adjustment is necessary, note that both ports of the relief valve must be
adjusted simultaneously for proper pressure relief of oil flow in either direction.

8. FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS
8.1 LEVELLING THE PLOW
In order to operate the equipment properly and also in order to avoid premature
wear of this equipment, it is imperative that the plow is level and square to the
ground during operations. (Fig. 3) The plow must sit 90 degrees square to the
ground when considering the angle of the pin that allows the wings to rotate onto the
mouldboard versus the ground. (Fig. 4)
Operating the equipment that is not properly set or level can cause premature wear
of the edges and result in high maintenance costs.

WARNING

PLOWMAXX 14
8.2 HYDRAULIC WINGS
The snowplow may be configured in different ways using its hydraulic power. Always
configure the wings and plow with caution.
This equipment has two (2) hydraulic wings, one on each side of the blade. The wings
can be articulated 180 degrees. Onyly use hydraulic power to rotate the wings. Never
try to exceed limitations of the wing’s rotation.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the hydraulic wings slightly open. Avoid working in the
fully closed position.
Operating the snowplow with the wings in a fully boxed position may create
damage to the surface and severly increase wear to the equipment.
Warning : Hydraulic wings may come in contact with the tires of the vehicle it is
attached to. The operator must exercise caution and adjust the position of the
wings to prevent them from coming in contact with the tires. Metal Pless shall not
be liable for any damages caused to tires.
180˚ 180˚
BE CAREFUL. DO NOT OPERATE THE HYDRAULIC
WINGS IF SOMEONE IS STANDING NEARBY.
WARNING
Operation of the diverter valve is controlled by either a two button joystick grip, a
three position rocker switch, or a direct pin wiring.
- It is important to note that the rocker switch must remain in the center position
when the hydraulic wings are not in use to avoid burning out the DIN connectors or
the wiring harness.
- When using a direct pin it may be necessary to contact your dealership to ascertain
which controles are required whitin the cab of the vehice to operate the snow plow’s
different functions.

EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE SNOW PLOW
MAY CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR AND MAY CAUSE
ADDITIONAL COSTS.
WARNING
8.3 COIL SPRINGS & LEAF SPRINGS
Leaf springs and/or coil springs are installed on each side wing of this equipment, as
shown below. Such leaf springs and/or coil springs allow limited movement of the
abrasion shoe while maintaining down pressure onto the ground. Said springs are
bolted and use pre-perforated holes. Extra holes are available for proper adjustment
of the spring.
It is the owner’s responsibility to appropriately adjust the pressure of the leaf/coil
springs. Depending on the operator it may be necessary to completely remove the
springs to assure minimal pressure of the wing to the ground.
Coil Springs for HD or LIVE EDGE Hydraulic wings Leaf Springs for STD, HD
or LIVE EDGE Hydraulic wings

(Fig. 5)

PLOWMAXX 16
8.4 VISUAL MARKERS
A visual marker is installed on each wing. (Fig.6) The marker allows the operator of
the vehicle to establish a visual cue in width, height and space before the passage.
The markers serve ONLY as a guide and should in no way be taken to the exact value
of its position. The markers are bolted and use pre-perforated holes.
8.5 VISUAL MARKERS WITH LEVELING INDICATORS
On certain models an additional option may be available for the visual markers to
offer a self leveling indicator. By positionning both markers at an equal height the
plow is set level to the ground (Fig.4).
8.6 CUTTING EDGES (WEAR)
The cutting edges are considered wear parts. On this equipment, friction and
abrasion will lead to wear of the cutting edges. Depending of the type surface, the
outdoor temperature, the speed and how the user operates the equipment, the
cutting edge’s may wear at a much faster rate than normal.
A trained operator will use the appropriate amount of pressure. Too much pressure
will lead to premature wear. The maximal wear point is indicated by a groove cut into
the cutting edges. (Fig. 8)

8.7 CUTTING EDGES (REPLACEMENT)
On HD models, it will be necessary to replace the abrasion shoes on the wings at the
same time as the replacement of the main cutting edges of the blade. (Fig.8)
On live edge models, it is common to replace only the abrasion shoes multiple times
prior to requiring the replacement of the live edge sections on the main blade.
