BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY PROCEDURE IN THIS
BOOK, READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE SAFETY
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION. IN
ADDITION, ENSURE ALL INDIVIDUALS WORKING
WITH YOU ARE ALSO FAMILIAR WITH THESE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
For your safety Warning and Information Decals have
been placed on this product to remind the operator
to take safety precautions. It is important that these
decals are in place and are legible before operation
begins. New decals can be obtained from Sno-Way or
your local dealer.
REMEMBER The careful operator is the best
operator. Most accidents are caused by human error.
Certain precautions must be observed to prevent the
possibility of injury to operator or bystanders and/or
damage to equipment.
NEVER operate Plow when under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or other medications that could hamper
your judgement and reactions. An accident may result in
serious injury or death to other persons or yourself.
ALWAYS operate vehicle in a well-ventilated area. The
carbon monoxide in exhaust gas is highly toxic and can
cause serious injury or death.
NEVER allow hands, hair or clothing to get near any
moving parts such as fan blades, belts and pulleys. Never
wear neckties or loose clothing when working on the
vehicle.
NEVER wear wrist watches, rings or other jewelry when
working on the vehicle or individual equipment. These
things can catch on moving parts or cause an electrical
short circuit that could result in serious personal injury.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles when working on the
vehicle to protect your eyes from battery acid, gasoline,
and dust or dirt from flying off of moving engine parts.
ALWAYS be aware of and avoid contact with hot
surfaces such as engine, radiator, and hoses.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields when
striking metal against metal! In addition, it is
recommended that a softer (non-chipable) metal material
be used to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could result
in serious injury to the eye(s) or other parts of the body.
NEVER allow children or unauthorized person to
operate this unit.
NEVER exceed 45 m.p.h. when snow plow is attached
to vehicle. Braking distances may be increased and
handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds
above 45 m.p.h.
ALWAYS lock the vehicle when unattended to prevent
unauthorized operation of the plow.
ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people.
NEVER exceed 10 m.p.h. when plowing. Excessive
speed may cause serious injury and damage of
equipment and property if an unseen obstacle is
encountered while plowing.
ALWAYS position blade so it does not block path of
headlamps beam. Do not change blade positions while
traveling. An incorrect plow position blocking headlamp
beam may result in an accident.
ALWAYS check surrounding area for hazardous
obstacles before operating this unit.
ALWAYS inspect the unit periodically for defects. Parts
that are broken, missing or plainly worn must be replaced
immediately. The unit, or any part of it should not be
altered without prior written approval of the manufacturer.
ALWAYS shut off the vehicle engine, place the
transmission in Neutral or Park, turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position and firmly apply the parking brake of
the vehicle before attaching or detaching the blade from
the vehicle or when making adjustments to the blade.
ALWAYS inspect lift system bolts and pins whenever
attaching or detaching the plow, and before traveling.
Worn or damaged components could result in the plow
dropping to the pavement while driving, causing an
accident.
ALWAYS keep hands and feet clear of blade and A-
Frame when attaching or detaching plow.
NEVER stand between the vehicle and blade or directly
in front of blade when it is being raised, lowered or
angled. Clearance between vehicle and blade decreases
as blade is operated and serious injury or death can
result from blade striking a body or dropping on hands or
feet.
NEVER work on the vehicle without having a fully
serviced fire extinguisher available. A 5 lb or larger CO2
or dry chemical unit specified for gasoline, chemical or
electrical fires, is recommended.
NEVER smoke while working on the vehicle. Gasoline
and battery acid vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid
leaks; escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury! If any
fluid is injected into the skin, see a doctor at once!
Injected fluid MUST BE surgically removed by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury or gangrene may result.
REMEMBER it is the owner’s responsibility for
communicating information on the safe use and
proper maintenance of this machine.

General
The Sno-Way Skid Loader V-Plow is mounted using a
universal mounting plate. The V-Plow pressure and return
lines are connected to the auxiliary hydraulic quick
couplers. Blade extend and retract functions are operated
by using the skid loader auxiliary hydraulics. Reversing
the flow changes the wing directions. The rocker switch
controls which blade is functioned.
Plow Operational Limits
Figure 1-1
The Sno-Way Skid Steer Plows are designed to plow
snow within certain operational limits. A floating link
enables the plow to "float" over the contours of an uneven
grade during operation. Plowing with all four skid steer
wheels "on the ground" is recommended for optimum
plowing performance and reduced loading on plow
components.
Skid Steer Power Unit
Features
18-30 gpm (gallons per minute)
3000 psi max. operating pressure
3000 psi relief
Auxiliary hydraulic lines
The skid steer is the primary hydraulic source to the V-
Plow. A typical system operates at a maximum pressure
of 3000 psi and maximum flow rate of 30 gpm. The
hydraulic system has a 3000 psi relief that dumps all
excess hydraulic fluid to the tank when the system is
loaded beyond 3000 psi. The auxiliary hydraulic circuit
consists of two lines that come directly from the skid steer
hydraulic pump and are actuated by an auxiliary control in
the cab. The lines are connected to the V-Plow valve
block assembly so that one line feeds pressure and the
other dumps to the tank.
Skid Steer V-Plow Hydraulic System
The auxiliary hydraulics are routed to the valve block
where the hydraulic fluid is diverted for wing functions. To
activate the wing function, diverter valves are actuated for
right wing functions and deactivated for left wing
functions. To change the direction of the wing motion, the
direction of the auxiliary hydraulics is reversed.
Hydraulic Valve Block Assembly
The Hydraulic Valve Block Assembly consists of a valve
body containing two (2) flow control valves and two (2)
check valves.
The valve body directs hydraulic fluid to operate two (2)
hydraulic circuits; angle left side and angle right side. The
angle circuits receive fluid under pressure.
IMPORTANT: The electric coils, which operate the
solenoid valves, require a minimum of 9-1/2 volts DC
for proper operation. Lower voltage will cause erratic
operation, or failure to operate.
Wing Angling Mode Of Operation
Each wing can be angled forward or rearward
independently by operating the wing angle switch for
either the right or the left wing. Operating the wing angle
switch energizes the solenoid valve. Depending on the
auxiliary hydraulics flow direction, this directs hydraulic
fluid, under pressure, to either the base end (extend) or
rod end (retract) of the wing cylinder, which then moves
the wing forward or rearward.
Controls
Left Wing Angle Switch:
Used to angle the left wing forward and rearward.
Right Wing Angle Switch:
Used to angle the right wing forward and rearward.
FLOATING LINK
THEORY OF OPERATION

5
Before The Season Begins
1. Inspect vehicle safety equipment for proper
operation; brakes, headlights, plowing lights, windshield
wipers, flashers, etc.
2. Inspect the plow, plow frame and all attaching
hardware for wear and corrosion. Replace worn or
damaged parts and clean and repaint exposed metal
parts with a high quality, corrosion resistant enamel.
3. Inspect all fasteners to insure that they are properly
tightened. If any fasteners are loose, re-tighten to the
proper torque (refer to the Torque Specification Chart in
this manual) and carefully inspect the adjacent area for
damage or wear as well as carefully inspecting all
adjacent fasteners for proper torque.
4. Apply a small amount of light oil to the hitch pins and
pivots, to pivot pins between the A-frame and center
tower assembly, between wing cylinder pivot pins and the
lift linkage.
5. Apply oil or grease to the wing pivot pin through two
lubrication holes provided in the pin housing. (See Figure
1-2)
Figure 1-2
6. Check the reservoir oil level (see maintenance
instructions) and repair any oil leaks and worn hoses.
7. Install auxiliary and flashing lights (if not equipped).
Transporting Vehicle With Plow Attached
1. Position the blade out of the beam path of the vehicle
work lights before operating.
2. Inspect plow and plow attaching hardware for wear or
damage before transporting and beginning plow
operations.
Plowing Like A Pro
1. Become familiar with the area to be plowed and mark
potential hazards before the snow falls. Many immovable
objects cannot be seen when covered with snow.
Developing a plan early can save valuable time and
equipment damage. Allow sufficient room to pile snow,
out of the traffic area, with enough space for snow when
the next storm comes.
2. Plow with the storm. The “Pros” are out early
removing only several inches of snow at a time. Allowing
snow to accumulate to unmanageable levels can cause
difficult removal problems and can be costly in terms of
“wear and tear” on equipment. The plow is not a “Ram or
Bulldozer”. If used properly, it will give you many years of
safe and reliable service.
3. Research municipal ordinances for restrictions on the
disposal of snow. Many municipalities do not allow snow
to be placed in roads or throughways.
Plow Storage
1. To avoid corrosion during storage, coat the exposed
(chrome) portion of the wing cylinders with a light grease.
2. Lubricate all pivot points.
3. Make sure that protective caps are on all electrical
connections. A small amount of dielectric grease may be
used to insure a moisture proof seal on the caps.
4. Check and replace any worn and/or damaged
component, such as wearstrips, shoes or deflectors.
Performing preventative maintenance tasks in the spring
when the plow is stored will ensure that you will be ready
to plow in the fall.

LUBRICATION
POINTS
WARNING
• Never exceed 10 mph when plowing! Serious
personal injury can result, as well as damage to
equipment and property, if an unseen
obstruction is encountered while plowing.
• Wear your seat belt! Contact with a hidden
obstruction can cause serious personal injury
from bodily contact within the vehicle cab or
whiplash from sudden stops.
FAILURE TO HEED CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR
DEATH.

MAINTENANCE
General
• Before operating, perform a thorough visual
inspection of the equipment. Look for fluid leaks,
cracked, bent or broken components, loose nuts,
bolts or attachments and proper fluid levels.
• A clean hydraulic system is essential to long
pump life and proper performance.
• When adding oil to the reservoir, wipe the area
around the filler port clean before removing the
breather cap. Use clean oil and a clean funnel,
(DO NOT use a cloth or rag to strain the oil).
• The operational environment for snow plows is an
extremely harsh and corrosive one.
• Ensure all electrical connections are clean and
tight.
• To prevent rust from forming, clean and repaint
exposed metal surfaces.
• NEVER operate the equipment with the
protective covers or guards removed.
Periodic Inspection
After approximately every 20 hours of operation perform
the following inspections procedures:
1. Inspect the plow assembly for any damage or
excessive wear. Also inspect all fasteners to insure that
they are properly tightened. If any fasteners are loose re-
tighten to the proper torque (Refer to the Torque
Specification Chart in this manual). Also carefully inspect
adjacent area for damage or wear as well as carefully
inspecting all adjacent fasteners for proper torque.
2. Apply a small amount of light oil to the hitch pins and
pivots, between wing cylinder pivot pins and the lift
linkage.
Electrical Quick Disconnect Plugs
Install protective caps on quick disconnect ends to
prevent corrosion from forming on terminal ends during
storage or when Plow is disconnected from vehicle.
Hydraulic Cylinders
To avoid corrosion during storage, coat the exposed
(chrome) portion of the Angle Cylinders with a light
grease.
Fluid Compatibility
Hydraulic fluid used in skid steers is compatible with the
plow system.
Special Fasteners Torques and
Requirements
IMPORTANT: Incorrectly securing fasteners may
result in incorrect operation, excessive wear, and
early failure of Plow components. It may also void
your warranty.
• ALWAYS check to make sure you are using the
correct torque specification for the fastener you
are using.
• DO NOT use any lubricants on the threads of any
fastener unless specifically called for in the
assembly or maintenance story for that
component.
• NEVER use liquid locking materials, such as
Locktite™ or Threadmaker™, on any fasteners
unless specifically called for in an assembly or
maintenance story for that component.
Standard Fasteners:
The Torque Specifications Chart on page 15 of this
manual should be used as the guide for fastener torque
requirements for most standard fasteners used on the
plow.
Standard fasteners with special torque requirements will
be noted in assembly or service stories pertaining to the
specific piece of equipment.
Hydraulic Fittings:
Hydraulic fittings with lock nuts should be assembled with
at least three full turns of the fitting in the port and then the
lock nut should be tightened to 27 lb.-ft.

1. Lower the snow plow to the ground.
2. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and electric
connector from the vehicle.
3. Unlock the universal mount from the snow plow and
slowly back the vehicle away, while tilting the universal
mount slightly forward.
Plow Adjustment
1. The plow frame height should be adjusted relative to
the optimum resting position of the loader arms. To
adjust, remove the locknuts and hex head cap screws
that secure the rear of the A-frame to the mounting lugs
of the universal adapter. Move the A-frame to a higher or
lower position as required and re-install the capscrews
and locknuts. Tighten securely.
2. This plow is equipped with the MaxAdjustTM System
(Patent pending). Adjust capscrew as required to position
center of moldboard at a 90° angle to the ground. (See
Figure 1-14).
Figure 1-14
3. This plow as an option has 4 shoes that may be
installed to help with gravel plowing and aid in over all
cutting edge wear. Two plow shoes are located at the
outboard end of each wing. The two inner plow shoes are
located inboard on the wing underneath the cylinder
mounting area.
IMPORTANT: To ensure the best function of this
Snow Plow, it is a requirement that all four plow
shoes be adjusted equally.
Adjust the plow shoes as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a smooth level surface. Adjust
the wings straight out on each side and lower the
plow to the ground.
b. When properly adjusted, the plow shoes and
wearstrips contact the ground at the same time.
Determine whether the plow shoes or wearstrips
are off the ground.
• If the plow shoe(s) were off the ground - washers
must be moved from the top to the bottom of the
shoe stem.
• If the wearstrips are off the ground - washers
must be moved from the bottom to the top of the
shoe stem.
c. Raise the plow and place suitable blocking under
the plow to allow at least six inches (6") of
clearance from the bottom of the plow shoes to the
ground.
d. Lower plow onto blocking. Turn ignition switch OFF
and apply the emergency brake.
e. Adjust shoe assemblies by removing shoe mounting
lynch pin and adding or subtracting washers on the
top or bottom of the shoe mounting location. (See
Figure 1-15).

f. After the disk shoe position is properly adjusted
place washers on the shoe stem - above the plow
frame and below the retaining lynch pin - to remove
all up and down movement of the disk shoe in the
frame. Failure to do so will result in excessive wear
of the holes in the frame or bending of the shoe
stem.
IMPORTANT: Snap lynch pin ring over so that it
contacts the pin. If ring does not contact lynch pin,
rotate the pin and reverse the direction of the ring. If
the ring does not contact the pin it is not locked and
could fall out.
g. Lower the plow to the ground and check adjustment.
Repeat adjustment if required.
Trip Spring Adjustment
NOTE: The trip springs are factory installed and
adjusted, but adjustment should be checked during plow
set-up and installation.
Springs are properly adjusted when two or more coils
allow a 0.010" feeler gauge to just pass between the
separated coils. (A 3 x 5" post card is approximately the
same thickness.)
If re-adjustment is required:
1. Raise the plow to the full UP position and support the
blade with suitable blocking.
2. Turn the vehicle OFF, apply the parking brake and
remove the ignition key.
3. Check to make sure that the springs are installed as
illustrated. (See Figure 1-16).
Figure 1-16
4. Loosen the lower jam nut on each eyebolt. (See
Figure 1-16).
5. Tighten the upper retaining nut until a 0.010" feeler
gauge can pass between two or more coils on each
spring.
6. Hold the upper nut and tighten the lower nut securely
on each spring.
