MOLDBOARD ASSEMBLY
1. Remove dust cap from both of the slide box cylinders
located at the center/rear of the moldboard. Attach adapters
(60007 on the 810SS and 60272 on the 8611SS) to each of
the base ports and rod ports.
NOTE: All of the hydraulic adapters can be found packaged with
the manifold assembly.
2. Connect hoses (60224) to each of the hydraulic adapters on
the cylinders. NOTE: Review the label on each hose for the appropriate part number
3. Position the pivot beam and A-frame, near the mount
locations at the rear of the blade. Place the slide box cylinder
hydraulic hoses through the rubber grommet openings on
each side of the front face of the pivot beam.
4. Position the pivot beam between the two support ribs until
the connecting points on the beam align with those on the
plow. Insert clevis pin (50069) through each mounting hole
and secure with cotter pins (61357).
5. Hook each extension spring to the receiving holes on the
pivot beam and attach the opposite end of the spring to its
respective spade bolts. Install the spade bolts through the
extension spring mounting angle on the top rear of the blade.
Secure spade bolts with a 5/8" flat washer and a 5/8"-11
nylock nut. Tighten each nut until a piece of paper can pass
between the 3rd & 4th coils on the spring.
6. Install the blade guides at each end of the moldboard. Insert
the capscrew through the holes at the top of the wing
reinforcement rib. Tighten all screws with lock nuts.
7. Assemble the A-Frame.

1. The manifold and angle cylinders have been secured to the
A-Frame at the factory; however, each contains several
components that you will need to install.
2. Remove the A-Frame cover to gain access to the manifold.
3. Each of the hose ports on the manifold are covered with
stretch wrap. Remove the wrap and install adapter (60272)
to ports #1, 2, 7, 8, 9 & 10.
NOTE: DO NOT let any foreign objects enter into the open ports.
The valves can become contaminated and greatly hinder the
plow’s performance. Torque to proper specifications.
NOTE: All ports are identified by a stamped number on the
manifold. The numbers also identify the hydraulic functions,
which can be referenced on the label under the manifold cover.
4. Route the hydraulic hose groupings from the pivot beam to
the access holes located on the sides of the a-frame.
Connect the hoses to their respective adapters on the
manifold.
CAUTION: When handling the manifold, hold the
manifold at the sides of the block. Never handle the
manifold by coils. Doing so can cause a solenoid
cartridge to bend, causing the cartridge to stick when
activated.
5. Remove the dust cap from both of the hydraulic angle
cylinder ports and attach a 90° adjustable elbow adapter
(60005) to each port. Each adapter should be angled toward
the top of the moldboard. Connect one 3/8" x 26" (60223 or 60224 36" for 8611) hydraulic hose to each angle cylinder
adapter. Be careful not to over tighten the hose
connections. NOTE: The cylinder ports should be facing
away from the A-frame. NOTE: The 810SS & 8611SS Aframe are the same but use different mounting points for the
angle cylinders due to different stroke length on the
cylinders. Use caution when replacing.
6. Connect the hoses to their respective adapters on the
manifold.
7. Install adapters (60089) to ports “P” & “T” on the manifold.
Connect hydraulic hose (60086) to adapters. Be careful not
to over tighten the hose connections.
8. Install the wire harness.

1. Connect the manifold coil harness to the plow harness. Feed
the opposite end of the plow harness through the top access
hole in the A-frame (same as 3/4" tank hydraulic hose)
located on the driver’s side.
2. Attach the grounds on the coil wire harness and plow
harness with a 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" hex cap screw and 3/8" tooth
lock washer to the A-frame. Secure the wires with a lock
nut. Review the diagram for the proper ground location.
3. Connect the plow harness to the vehicle harness, and then
the vehicle harness to the pistol grip control harness. Attach
the ground wire from the vehicle harness to the cab of the
skid steer. The pink/black power wire connects to a switched
power source (on and off with ignition) with a minimum of 12
volts.
4. Position the vehicle harness mount bracket in an accessible
location for easy on-and-off installation inside the skid steer.
Secure the vehicle side harness in the notch on the bracket.
5. Position the control harness mount bracket vertically or

MOUNTING & DISMOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to operating your Power Plow® snowplow, review the Mounting and Dismounting Instructions label on the
back of the driver’s side moldboard.
NOTE: If at any time the Mounting and Dismounting Instructions label, or any other label attached to your
snowplow become illegible, promptly replace them.
64060 (2005-810&8611SkidSteer).doc
19
Page 20
TESTING
1. To test all of the functions on the Power Plow, your
snowplow needs to be properly attached to the skid steer.
Refer to the Mounting & Dismounting label on the back of
the plow.
2. Complete the hydraulic connections with the skid steer
turned off. Note: Due to the various make and model skid
steer available, hydraulic couplings for the auxiliary hydraulic
connections are not provided. Consult your skidsteer’s
Operation Manual for the appropriate couplings needed.
Connect the couplings to the hoses for the pressure port
(“P”) and the tank port (“T”)on the manifold. Complete the
hydraulic installation by making the appropriate connections
at the skid steer.
WARNING: Always use caution when connecting
high-pressure hydraulic fittings. Hydraulic fluid
under pressure can puncture skin causing serious
injury or death. In the event of a hydraulic leak,
relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings.
If injured, seek emergency medical help
immediately.
3. Start the skid steer and begin to initiate the Power Plow’s
blade functions. Note: Depending on the skid steer model, it
may be necessary to turn on the skid steer’s auxiliary
hydraulic switch prior to operating the plow. The left switch
operates the driver’s side wing. Push the switch “up” to
extend the wing and “down” to retract the wing. Push the
center switch “up” to angle left and “down” to angle right.
The right switch operates the passenger’s side wing and
works the same as the left switch. Upon initiating the
switches on the pistol grip control, you may notice a plow
function is slow or delayed. The hydraulic fluid is filling the
cylinders and replacing air in the system. Monitor the
hydraulic fluid level in your skid steer, and fill as necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
S5 coil is not magnetizing.
Plow functions will not work after all
connections are made or plow functions
are slow.
Plow functions start and terminate
suddenly.
Multiple valves function simultaneously.
Plow functions are reversed (i.e.
Driver’s side wing extends when
passenger’s side wing is activated from
the control.)
Both wings extend when the skid steer
hydraulics are turned on.
Plow angles only one way.
Wing will not stay angled when plowing.
Plow will not stay angled when plowing.
Wing will not move.
Wing will not move. Coils are receiving power.
Plow will not angle. Review all probable causes above.
Should your snowplow develop other problems not indicated, contact your local Dealer for technical assistance and/or
replacement parts.
Solenoid cartridge valve may be
contaminated or damaged. A bent or
over torqued cartridge will not allow the
valve to move freely inside of the
cartridge.
Skid steer hydraulic fluid flow is set to
variable flow.
Diodes may be corroded or damaged. Clean diodes thoroughly and/or replace.
Wire harness may be damaged.
Hydraulic hoses are connected wrong
or coils and wiring are incorrect.
Pressure (P) and tank (T) hoses are
installed in the wrong position on the
skid steer.
Skid steer computer conflicts with
cylindrical connection.
The wing pressure relief valve is
contaminated.
The angle pressure relief valve is set
too low. NOTE: Increasing the pressure
relief valve will cause damage to your
plow. Do not set the pressure relief
greater than 3000PSI.
Control station, harness or cables may
be loose or improperly connected.
No power to the cartridge valve.
Solenoid cartridge may be
contaminated or damaged. A bent
cartridge will not allow the valve to
move freely inside of the cartridge.
S5 coil should magnetize with each
function.
Determine a damaged cartridge valve
by reversing the driver’s side and
passenger’s side cartridge valves one at
a time. Replace valve if necessary.
For plow functions to work, the skid
steer hydraulic fluid flow should be set
to continuous flow. Review your skid
steer operation manual for proper flow
settings.
Verify harness is not damaged. Review
schematic(s) to troubleshoot
connection(s). Replace if needed.
Review the Hydraulic Valve &Hose Port
Identification Guide under the A-frame
cover for proper port locations and/or
place respective coils over correct
valves.
Review the skid steer operation manual
to determine the pressure and tank
connections.
Using a jumper wire, connect pin K to
pin L at the back of the cylindrical
connector (cylindrical connector only).
Test the wing pressure relief. Attach a
T-fitting with a fluid PSI gauge to the
base end of the wing cylinder. Pressure
relief should not be greater than
1700PSI (2800PSI for 8611SS) Replace
if less than 1500-1700PSI (26002800PSI).
Follow the guidelines indicated above;
however, the PSI setting should not
exceed 3000PSI. NOTE: If the plow is
floating back when angled to the right,
adjust the left pressure relief valve and
vice versa.
Verify control station, harness and all
cables are securely connected. Clean if
necessary.
Verify S9 &S10 coils (passenger’s side
slide box retract and extend) and S1
&S2 (driver’s side slide box retract and
extend) are connected properly.
Diagnose the wire harness. Review all
wire harness schematics. If power is
present, review the next step.
Verify coils are magnetizing. Position a
screwdriver inside of the coil. When the
respective function is activated, the
screwdriver is drawn to the side of the
coil. If the coil is not drawn to the
screwdriver, replace the coil. If power is
present, review the next step.
Determine a damaged cartridge valve
by reversing the driver’s side and
passenger’s side cartridge valves.
Replace valve if necessary.
