SAFETY
Safety 3
This is a safety alert symbol. It alerts
an operator to information concern-
ing personal safety. Always observe
and heed these symbols and instructions,
otherwise death or serious injury can result.
Operator safety is a principle concern in equipment design and distribution. However, many
accidents occur because a few seconds of
thought, and a more careful approach to handling, were ignored.
Accidents can be avoided by knowing and following the precautions cited in this manual.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Read this manual thoroughly. Make sure
the operator understands it and knows
how to operate this equipment safely. This
equipment can kill or injure an untrained or
careless operator and bystanders. If you
sell this equipment, ensure the new owner
acknowledges receipt of this manual.
BEFORE OPERATION
1. Discipline yourself to visually check for
worn, damaged or cracked parts before
starting use. Replace these with genuine
Hiniker parts.
2. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
Do not use your hand to check for leaks.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard to nd
suspected leaks.
Tighten all connections before pressurizing
hydraulic lines.
If uid is injected into the skin, get medical
attention immediately to prevent serious infection.
3. Check all controls and operating functions
of the machine in a safe area before starting to work.
2. This plow is intended for plowing snow
only. Plowing gravel, rocks, etc., or using
the plow for any purpose other than plowing
snow could result in harm to the operator or
bystanders or cause damage to the plow or
vehicle.
3. Do not service or other wise handle a plow
in the raised position unless it is securely
blocked against unexpected falling.
Likewise, bolt or pin ribs on the back of the
moldboard to prevent unexpected rollover
of the plow due to accidental loss of hydraulic pressure or cylinder removal.
4. Do not attempt to handle or service this
equipment, or direct others to do the same,
unless you know how to do it safely and
have the proper tools for the job.
5. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away

2. Ensure everyone is clear of the machine,
especially away from blind areas of the operator, before starting, actuating hydraulics
or operating this equipment.
3. Do not plow snow at excessively high
speeds.
4. Avoid hitting objects that will damage your
plow or truck.
5. Set the brakes and stop the truck’s engine
before adjusting or servicing your plow.
AFTER OPERATION
1. Park the plow on a solid, level surface. Fully
collapse the lift cylinder with the upper lift
links before unhitching the plow to prevent
the plow frame from falling forward.
4 Operating Procedures
OPERATING PROCEDURES
ATTACHING THE PLOW
Attachment prongs on the truck should be mounted such that the bottom edge of the prongs measure about 10 inches above the ground. Prong
receivers on the plow frame should remain parallel to the ground and at the correct height by fully
retracting the lift cylinder with the upper lift links
before removing the plow from the truck (See “Removing the Plow”). Ideally, the prongs on the truck
should lift the plow frame slightly when driving into
the plow for attachment.
Powdered graphite applied on the prongs will help
the plow slide on and off more easily.
Check that the prongs are in line with the receivers. Lightly tap the gas pedal on the truck until the
truck prongs slide into the back of the receivers,
then gradually bring the truck to a stop. Slamming
on the brakes will allow the plow to slide forward
and the notches on the prongs and receivers will
not line up. Set the parking brake in the truck to
prevent it from creeping back out from the receivers.
Handle Pinned With Plow On Truck DWG NO. 4199
Pin the handle in the clevis with its klik pin. Failure
to pin the handle in place may allow the plow to fall
off the truck.
NOTE: Before connecting the plow’s wiring to the
truck, make sure power is switched “Off” on the
joystick controller.
Remove the tab lock pin from the parking stand index plate to raise the stand to its highest position.
Reinstall the pin in the plate for transport.
Pull the latch handle into the clevis on the lift frame
to force the sliders through the notches in the
prongs and receivers. Check that both sliders are
fully engaged.
DWG NO. 5617A
Alignment Tab and Slot DWG NO. 5232
Plug in the three electrical connectors between
the plow and the truck after latching the plow. The
alignment tab on the 10-pin receptacle will mate
with the slot in the mounting plate on the truck grill
to ensure proper connection.
Check that the plow headlamps and turn signals
are operational, and headlamps are aimed correctly. Test the lift and angling cylinders in a safe
area before using the plow.
Operating Procedures 5
To make alignment of the plow easier in the future,
mark a point on the back of the head lamp, a point
on the hood near the front of the truck and a point
on the windshield that are in line when you are
seated behind the steering wheel. Line up these
three points when driving into the plow.
THE JOYSTICK CONTROLLER
The joystick control box has slide switches for controlling power to the snowplow and for switching
from the truck headlights to the headlights on the
plow.
The joystick controls the left and right angling functions of the snowplow, and also controls the raising
and lowering of the plow. Two push button switches are used to curl and uncurl the plow blade.
NOTE: Drawings 4162 and 4163 show the raise
and lower functions of the joystick controller as
received from the factory. Functions may be reversed to suit the preference of the operator by
following the instructions on page 26 for switching
the controller joystick and face plate.
The vehicle’s electrical power must be turned on
before the control box will function.
NOTE: When removing the plow, remember to
place the headlight switch in the “Truck” position
to return power to the truck’s headlights.
Raise or lower the plow by moving the joystick to
the “Raise” or “Lower” position. Hold the plow at
an intermediate height by releasing the controller
from the “Raise” position when the plow reaches
the desired height. Moving the controller to the
“Lower” position will lower the blade to the ground
and allow the plow to “Float” along the contour of
the ground while plowing snow.
The green light on the control box will turn yellow
to indicate the plow is in the oat mode. Momentarily moving the joystick to the “Raise” position will
remove the plow from the oat condition and the
yellow indicator will return to green.
Move the joystick left or right to angle the blade.
Release the joystick when the blade is at the desired angle.
Curl the plow blade forward by pushing the left
hand button on the control box. Uncurl the blade
by pushing the right hand button. Release the button to hold the blade at an intermediate position
between full forward or full back.
Joystick Control Box DWG NO. 4162
Place the on/off switch on the joystick control box
in the “On” position to supply power to the snowplow. A green light will indicate power is on.
Move the headlight slide switch on the control box
to the “Plow” position to change from the truck
lights to the snowplow lights. Activate high beam/
low beam and turn signal/parking lamps from the
truck as you normally would without the plow attached.
The blade will move more freely if the curl and uncurl functions are done with the plow in the raised
position to avoid resistance from the ground.
TRANSPORTING THE PLOW
The extra weight of the snowplow on your truck
will impair handling response and increase braking
distance.
The plow will also block some airow to the vehicle’s cooling system, possibly causing the vehicle
to overheat. Therefore, it is important not to exceed
speeds above 45 mph when the plow is attached.
Remove the plow if you must drive your truck for
long distances when the temperature is warm.
Adjust the height, angle and curl of the blade to
avoid blocking the headlights before transporting
the plow.
Transport the plow with power to the joystick control box switched off to prevent accidental lowering
of the plow. Never adjust the blade height or angle
the blade while driving.
6 Operating Procedures
PLOWING SNOW
WARNING: Always wear a seat belt
when plowing snow. Sudden contact
with a hidden object can result in serious personal injury.
Inspect areas to be plowed before snowfall for potential hazards, and mark obstructions with stakes
that will be seen when snow covers the ground.
Identify any emergency equipment and utility outlets that may need to be cleared in the event of
a storm. Prepare a plan beforehand for clearing
snow from tight or enclosed areas and locate sites
for stacking snow.
Adjust the skids at the back of the moldboard according to the surface to be plowed. The bottom
of the skids should be about 1/2” below the cutting edge when plowing gravel roads or lots. Skids
should be even with the cutting edge on hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete.
Always plow snow as it is accumulating. Wet snow
may weigh about 12 pounds per cubic foot. The
weight of snow being pushed by your plow may
increase to several tons.
CAUTION: Prevent premature wear or
damage to the plow by only backdrag-
ing snow with the plow blade straight
across the truck. Do not angle the plow
when the upper edge is rolled over for pulling snow.
To backdrag snow away from a building,
straighten the plow across the truck. Raise the
plow with the joystick controller. Curl the upper
edge forward with the LH controller button until
the tip of the upper cutting edge is barely visible
from the cab.
Allowing snow depth to grow to unmanageable
levels can cause difcult removal problems and
can be costly in terms of wear on equipment.
WARNING: Serious personal injury
can result from plowing at excessive
speeds, as well as costly damage to
equipment and property, if an obstruction is
encountered while plowing. Do not exceed 10
mph while plowing.
Plow snow in the lowest truck gear to transfer
maximum power to the cutting edge. Clear areas
in front of buildings rst.
WARNING: Serious damage to the
snowplow will result if an obstruction
is encountered while driving forward
with the blade curled. Do not attempt to push
snow when the upper cutting edge is curled
forward or on the ground. Never attempt to
drive forward when the upper cutting edge is
not visible from the cab.
DWG NO. 5411
Slowly drive to the building, then shift the vehicle transmission to neutral.
DWG NO. 5412
Lower the plow to the ground with the joystick
controller.
Operating Procedures 7
DWG NO. 5413
Curl the plow fully forward with the LH controller button. Shift the vehicle transmission into reverse and pull snow away from the building.
DWG NO. 5414
Raise the plow slightly, then uncurl the blade
with the RH controller button. Push the snow to
a clear area.
Clear large lots by angling the blade and creating a single path. Roll snow to outer edges
of the lot by taking successive passes with the
blade angled.
DWG NO. 5469
The two lower cutting edges may be bolted together to function as a single edge, if desired, by
installing a 5/8” grade 5 bolt (not supplied) through
holes in the support plates on the back of the trip
edge sections. The cutting edge will trip harder
when an obstruction is hit when the two sections
are bolted together.
PARKING
Lower the plow to the ground when parking your
truck for a long period of time with the plow attached. Place the on/off switch in the “Off” position
to prevent the plow from drawing power from the
truck battery. The plow’s power unit may continue
to draw electrical current from the truck battery if
the control switch is left on; possibly resulting in
insufcient charge to start the truck.
REMOVING THE PLOW
To remove the snowplow from your truck, park on
a solid level surface with the blade straight, across
the truck. Lower the plow to the ground and leave
the controller in the “Float” mode.
When plowing very deep snow, it may be necessary to raise the blade and shear off layers of
snow until a working area is cleared. Work small
areas in multiple passes to push snow to outer
edges. Generally, 6 inch snow can be plowed
with the entire blade width; 9 inch snow with
3/4 of the blade width; 12 inch snow with 1/2 of
the blade width. Local conditions will determine
how much work can be done before stalling or
getting stuck.
Lower Plow, Leave Controller in “Float” DWG NO. 4163
8 Operating Procedures
NOTE: The plow control box must be in the
“Float” mode to manually retract the cylinder
rod. If the cylinder rod cannot be retracted with
power on and the controller in float, loosen the
packing nut on the lift cylinder up to 1-1/2 turns
to reduce friction.
Retract Cylinder With Upper Lift Links DWG NO. 6000
Push Lift Frame Back DWG NO. 6005
Swing the latch handle open until the latch
sliders are fully removed from the attachment
prongs.
With the plow lowered to the ground and the
controller in the ”float” mode, push down on the
upper lift links to fully retract the lift cylinder rod.
Retracting the lift cylinder will orient the prong
receivers correctly for reattaching the plow later.
Failure to retract the lift cylinder rod will allow
the lift frame to fall forward, possibly causing
personal injury or damage to plow components.
Rotate the stop plate up to contact the spacer
bushing on the lift cylinder bolt.
Swing Handle To Remove Sliders DWG NO. 3856
Lower the parking stand to the ground by removing the tab lock pin from stand index plate,
then swinging the stand to the ground with the
lever.
Rotate Stop Plate DWG NO. 6004
Gently push back on the headlight bracket to
tilt the lift frame back as far as possible, then
release the bracket to allow the weight of the lift
frame to lock the stop plate in place.
Lower and Pin Parking Stand DWG NO. 5251A
Reinstall the pin in the index plate through the
hole in the lever to hold the stand in place.
Disconnect Plugs DWG NO. 5233
Disconnect the three electrical connectors by
pulling them straight out from the receptacles.
Do not twist the connectors, twisting will damage the connector pins or the wiring harness.
Operating Procedures 9
Turn Off Lights and Power DWG NO. 4164
Back inside the truck, return control of the headlights to the truck and switch power off on the
snowplow control box, then slowly back the
truck out from the plow.
NOTE: The stop plate will automatically fall forward as soon as the lift cylinder is fully extended for raising the blade prior to transporting the
plow.
If the snowplow won’t be used for an extended
period of time, the prong weldment can be removed from the truck by removing the hex bolts
that fasten it to the truck mount frame.

12 Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Do not service or otherwise handle a plow in the raised po-
sition unless it is securely blocked
against unexpected falling. Likewise, bolt
or pin ribs on the back of the moldboard to
prevent unexpected rollover of the plow due
to accidental loss of hydraulic pressure or
cylinder removal.
Dependable snowplow operation is the result of
following good maintenance procedures. Inspect
your plow frequently to ensure that all parts are
working smoothly, and develop a schedule for
maintenance at required intervals.
GENERAL
Wash salt and dirt off the plow before storage.
Touch-up any chips or scratches in the paint
and apply a light coating of grease to extended
cylinder rods to prevent corrosion.
Clean the suction filter at the pump inlet and
wipe any metal shavings off the magnet on the
pump.
Assemble the reservoir onto the power unit and
fasten the power unit onto the snowplow before
adding new hydraulic oil.
Reattach hydraulic hoses and electrical wires at
the correct locations on the power unit.
Pour hydraulic oil into the power unit reservoir
until the oil reaches the fill level.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The majority of snowplow operational problems
are caused by bad oil in the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic oil should be changed every year for
best performance. Select Hiniker Cold Flow Hydraulic Oil or an equivalent oil that meets military specification 5606, for plowing in extremely
cold temperatures.
To change hydraulic oil, first pin the upper and
lower moldboard halves together through holes
in the center moldboard ribs and center cylinder
supports to prevent the upper half from falling
forward when the hydraulic lines are removed.
Disconnect the electrical wiring harnesses from
the power unit and uncouple five hydraulic lines.
Unbolt the power unit from the plow, and remove
it to a clean working area that can capture any
spilled oil.
DWG. NO. 6470
Angle the plow full left and right to fill the angling
cylinders with oil. Add more oil to the reservoir
until the oil again reaches the fill level.
Un-pin the upper and lower moldboard halves.
Cycle the plow left and right, up and down,
and work the curl mechanism to purge any air
trapped in the system.
Check the oil level with the plow on the ground
and the blade uncurled. Add oil to the fill level, if
necessary, but do not overfill the reservoir.
Carefully unbolt the oil reservoir from the power
unit and discard old oil. Purge old oil from the
angling cylinders by forcing rods to retract.
Maintenance 13
MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
Prior to the operation of a new snowplow, or one
which has been stored, inspect all hardware and
verify proper torque on all bolts and nuts in accordance with the recommended torque specifications.

*Applications without lock nuts.
ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE
Periodically check all electrical connections for
proper fit and remove any contamination that
may be present.
To prevent contamination always place dust
caps on connectors when not in use. This is
particularly important when the plow is being
stored. The use of dielectric grease is recommended to reduce corrosion of the contacts and
to make connecting and disconnecting easier.
Before each season check vehicle battery and
electrical system for proper operation. A weak
battery, dirty terminals, or faulty charging system may cause improper operation and possible
failure of the joystick controller.
Before every plowing season, and throughout
the season, check the snowplow headlamps for
proper function and aim. Refer to sections titled
“System Check-Out” and “Headlamp Aiming
Procedure” in this manual for instructions.
Loose bolts can cause hole elongation and part
failure resulting in dangerous operating conditions and equipment breakdown.
Check all hardware periodically during operation
and keep tightened to specified torque values.
Replace worn bolts and lock nuts with grade 5
bolts and equivalent type B or type F lock nuts.
Type B lock nuts are plain hex; type F lock nuts
are flanged hex.
Inspect wear of the cutting edges before every
plowing season and frequently throughout the
season. Replace cutting edges before wear
reaches the main plow blade.
The 5/16” hex bolts in the latch sliders are factory retained with anaerobic threadlock. If removal or replacement of these bolts is necessary,
purchase new bolts with threadlocker from your
Hiniker dealer, or apply a commercially available
threadlock, i.e., Loctite 242 (blue) or Perma-Lok
HM118 (red), to standard 5/16-18 X 3/4” grade 5
hex bolts before reassembly.
