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.
CAUTION
Read Owner's Manual before operating or servicing snowplow.
CAUTION
Transport speed should not exceed 45 mph. Further reduce speed under adverse travel conditions.
CAUTION
Plowing speed should not exceed 10 mph.
CAUTION
See your BLIZZARD® outlet for application recommendations.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY
WARNING
Hydraulic fl uid under pressure can cause skin injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic 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. B64090, Rev. 07 5 June 15, 2010
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. B64090, Rev. 07 6 June 15, 2010
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 snowplowing 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 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. B64090, Rev. 07 7 June 15, 2010
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 of 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. B64090, Rev. 07 8 June 15, 2010
UNPACKING & INSPECTION

3. Position each angle cylinder with the rod end of the cylinder in the pivot beam and the hydraulic hose port facing away from the A-frame. Secure the cylinder to the pivot beam with a 3/4" x 5" clevis pin (95739) and a 1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pin (B61357). Extend each cylinder rod until the cylinder base mounting hole aligns with the hole on the A-frame angle cylinder bracket. Insert another clevis pin and secure it with a cotter pin.
4. Remove the dust cap from both of the hydraulic angle cylinder ports and attach one 9/16" 90° adjustable elbow ORB adapter to each port. Each adapter should be angled toward the top of the moldboard. Connect one 3/8" x 24" hydraulic hose (B60091) to each angle cylinder adapter. Be careful not to overtighten the hose connections. Route both hoses over the TOP of each cylinder. This will prevent them from hanging or being pinched. Tighten fi ttings and hoses per torque chart.
5. Remove the plastic dust caps from the hydraulic lift cylinder ports. Attach one 9/16" 45° adjustable elbow ORB adapter (B60272) to the driver-side port (base end) and one 9/16" x 9/16" male ORB connector adapter (B60007) to the passenger­side port (rod end). Once the adapters have been installed on the cylinder, connect the hydraulic hoses. Tighten fi ttings and hoses per torque chart.
NOTE: Position the 45° fi tting in the cylinder port so that the hoses install directly in the center of the A-frame access holes. A hose installed too close to the edge of the opening may work itself free with the operation of the lift cylinder and/or movement of the snowplow.
The 45° adapter receives a 3/8" x 17" hydraulic
hose (B60273). Connect the 45° angle on the hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder. The male connector adapter receives a 3/8" x 15" hydraulic hose (B60274). Connect the 45° end of the hose to the hydraulic adapter on the cylinder. Both hoses should be routed through the triangular openings in the A-frame. Tighten fi ttings and hoses per torque chart.
