SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper installation and operation could cause
personal injury and/or equipment and property damage.
Read and understand labels and the Owner's Manual
before installing, operating or making adjustments.
WARNING
Lower the blade when vehicle is parked.
Temperature changes could change
hydraulic pressure, causing the blade to
drop unexpectedly or damaging hydraulic
components. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING
The driver shall keep bystanders clear of the
blade when it is being raised, lowered or angled.
Do not stand between the vehicle and the blade
or within 8 feet of a moving blade. A moving
or falling blade could cause personal injury.
WARNING
Keep hands and feet clear of the blade and
A‑frame when mounting or removing the

HYDRAULIC SAFETY
WARNING
Hydraulic 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 SnowEx® 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 re. Fuse Replacement, including fuse ratings and
locations, is located in the Maintenance section of the
Owner's Manual.

UNPACKING
1. Set aside the blade guides and parts bags. The
vehicle electrical harnesses and Owner's Manual
packet are in the bag with the headlamp box.
Move the attach/detach lever to unpin the
receivers, receiver pins, spacers and R-pins, and
set aside.
NOTE: Leave handle in the detach position during
entire assembly process.
2. Remove the lag screws and wood blocks securing
the headlamp channel to the headgear and set the
headlamp channel aside.
3. Remove the fasteners and blocking securing the
A-frame to the pallet.
A‑FRAME HOLE POSITION
IMPORTANT! Before assembling the headgear
to the A-frame, the A-frame hole position must be
determined using the following procedure. (If the truck
is not available, use the middle position. Adjustments
can be made later.)
Before measuring the vehicle mount height, the
vehicle mount must be installed, ballast must be
installed, if required, and the vehicle must be parked
on a level surface.
1. Measure the distance "d" from the ground to the
center of the hole in the vehicle mount. Measure
the distance on both sides of the vehicle and
determine average value for "d."

2. Use distance "d" from Step 1 and the following
chart to determine the proper A-frame hole
position.
