SAFETY

Safety 3

This is a safety alert symbol. It alerts
an operator to information concerning

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
factory service 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.

DURING OPERATION

2. This manual Does Not instruct the operation
or maintenance of the skid steer loader.
Obtain training on control and function
of the skid steer loader from your loader
dealer.

3. 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
and will void the warranty.

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. Do not service or otherwise handle a plow
in the raised position unless it is securely
blocked against unexpected falling.

6. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from moving parts.

1. Always wear the seat belt and lower the
seat bar, if equipped, when operating the
loader.

2. Make sure all controls are in the neutral
position before starting the loader.

3. Ensure everyone is clear of the machine,
especially away from blind areas of the
operator, before actuating hydraulics or
operating this equipment.

4. Do not plow snow at excessively high
speeds.

5. Avoid hitting objects that will damage your
plow.

6. Set the brakes and stop the loader’s engine
before adjusting or servicing your plow.

AFTER OPERATION

7. Do not alter the equipment to the extent of
compromising safety or performance.

1. Park the plow on a solid, level surface.

4 Operating Procedures

OPERATING PROCEDURES

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to
snowplow components, skid steer

loaders with a “High Flow/Low Flow”
hydraulic system must be operated in the
Low Flow setting when the plow is attached.

ATTACHING PLOW

Mount the plow on the skid steer loader by
driving the loader into the mount frame, then
set the brakes and relieve hydraulic pressure
before exiting the cab. Secure the plow frame
to the loader as instructed in the loader
manual. Make sure all latches are fully locked
in place to prevent the plow from detaching.

Clean quick couplers of dirt before making
hydraulic connections. Make sure quick
couplers are fully engaged. If quick couplers
do not fully engage, check that the couplers
are the same size and type. Check also to see
that hydraulic pressure has been relieved.
See your loader or attachment dealer for
coupler information.

When using a 7 or 14 pin harness that operates
the plow through the base machines internal
controls operators need to push and hold the
joystick button speci! c to each manufacturer
which will activate a solenoid valve.

Rotate the box ends (forward or backward) by
pushing and holding the appropriate joystick
button speci! c to each machine while directing
oil through the auxiliary ports. Reverse rotation
by pushing and holding the appropriate joystick
button speci! c to each machine while reversing
the oil " ow direction through the auxiliary ports.

Clean electrical connections then check that
the pins and receptacles are aligned before
plugging the connector on the plow into the
connector on the loader.

Test the angling and rotating box end functions
in a safe area before using the plow.

CONTROLLING PLOW FUNCTIONS

Raise and lower the plow by operating the
loader arms as you would for any other
attachment. Avoid tipping the mount plate
forward to apply down pressure on the plow.

Angle the plow left and right by directing oil
through the auxiliary hydraulic ports on the
skid steer loader. Reverse oil flow to angle
the blade the opposite direction.

Release the hydraulic flow controller to hold
the blade at an angle position between full
left or full right. If the plow angles opposite
from what is expected, switch couplers on the
two feed hoses that connect to the loader.

DWG NO. 7603

When using a Fox universal controller rotate
box ends rearward by pushing and holding the
round button switch while directing oil to the
auxiliary ports on the skid steer loader putting
the plow in back drag mode.

Rotate box ends forward by pushing and holding
the round button switch while reversing the oil
flow direction to the auxiliary hydraulic ports on
the loader to put plow in push mode.

To hold box ends at an intermediate position
between full forward or full back, release
hydraulic flow controller, then release round
button switch.

Box ends will move more freely if rotating box
end functions are done with plow in raised
position to avoid resistance from ground.

TRANSPORTING PLOW

Raise plow to a position where it does not block
your view forward. Transport plow with hydraulic
flow off or in neutral to prevent accidental
lowering of plow. Never adjust blade position
while driving.

PLOWING SNOW

WARNING: Always wear seat belt
and lower seat bar, if equipped, 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.

Operating Procedures 5

DWG NO. 7742

To back drag snow away from a parking stall or
building, lift plow up off of ground and straighten
plow across loader. Rotate box ends all the way
rearward.

Set the loader lift arms into the float mode so
the plow can follow the contour of the ground
and clean up low areas while plowing snow.

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.

Allowing snow depth to grow to unmanageable
levels can cause difficult 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.

DWG NO. 7743

Slowly drive into area to be cleaned out lower
cutting edge to ground.

DWG NO. 7744

Tilt plow blade to align level indicators.
