HYDRAULIC SAFETY
WARNING
Hydraulic fl uid under pressure can cause skin
injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic
fl uid, get medical attention immediately.
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 snowplow electrical and hydraulic systems
contain several blade-style automotive 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 fi re. Fuse Replacement, including fuse
ratings and locations, is located in the Maintenance
Section of this Owner's Manual.
WARNING
Remove blade assembly before placing
vehicle on hoist.
Lit. No. B64118, Rev. 03 5 March 1, 2009
SAFETY
PERSONAL SAFETY
Remove 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-fi tting 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 fi re extinguisher rated BC handy, •
for fl ammable liquids and electrical fi res.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
WARNING
Gasoline is highly fl ammable and gasoline
vapor is explosive. Never smoke while
working on vehicle. Keep all open fl ames
away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up
any spilled gasoline immediately.
VENTILATION
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.
BATTERY SAFETY
CAUTION
Batteries normally produce explosive gases
which can cause personal injury. Therefore,
do not allow fl ames, 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.
NOISE
Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline
to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away
from sources of heat or fl ame.
CELL PHONES
A driver's fi rst 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.
Airborne noise emission during use is below 70 dB(A)
for the snowplow operator.
Lit. No. B64118, Rev. 03 6 March 1, 2009
VEHICLE APPLICATION INFORMATION
CAUTION
See your BLIZZARD® outlet for specifi c
vehicle application recommendations before
installation. The Undercarriage Selection
Guide has specifi c vehicle and snowplow
requirements.
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 plowing 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, modifi cation 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.
BALLAST REQUIREMENTS
Position
and secure ballast
as close to the tailgate
as possible.
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 specifi ed 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
fi lled as close to tailgate as possible.
If there is uncertainty as to whether available •
capacity exists, the actual vehicle as confi gured
must be weighed.
Lit. No. B64118, Rev. 03 7 March 1, 2009
OPERATION
Your snowplow is the most advanced and versatile
straight blade on the market. The easy-to-use controls
allow you to automatically adjust the snowplow blade
into an infi nite number of plowing positions. Review
the illustrations below for instruction on maneuvering
your snowplow.
A.
B.
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 straight blade to the ground. Pushing and
momentarily holding the control in this position will
allow the snowplow to "fl oat," 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 straight blade off
the ground. To stop raising the snowplow, simply
return the joystick to its "neutral" or center position
or release the touchpad button. The snowplow has
reached its maximum raised position when the
blade stops lifting.
C. Angled Right Position
To angle your straight blade to the right, position
the joystick toward the "R" on the label or push
the R button on the touchpad. To stop angling the
snowplow, return the joystick to its "neutral" or
center position or release the touchpad button.
The snowplow has reached its maximum angled
position when the blade stops moving to the right
side.
C.
D.
D. Angled Left Position
To angle your straight blade to the left, position
the joystick toward the "L" on the label or push
the L button on the touchpad. To stop angling the
snowplow, return the joystick to its "neutral" or
center position or release the touchpad button.
The snowplow has reached its maximum angled
position when the blade stops moving to the left
side.
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.
Lit. No. B64118, Rev. 03 8 March 1, 2009
