Why does the vehicle battery die when all of the switches are in the NEUTRAL position on my Boss Snowplow RT3?
If the vehicle battery dies when all switches are in the NEUTRAL position on your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower, there may be a short. Repair or replace the controller, the wire harness, or the valve coils to resolve this issue.
Why is my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower not angling or angling slowly?
If your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower plow does not angle or angles slowly, start by ensuring the hydraulic-fluid level is within 2 cm (3/4 inch) of the top of the reservoir when the plow is lowered. Next, check that the power/ground cables and control cables are properly connected. Also, check the wiring connections on the valve block. A damaged or depleted battery can also cause this issue, so load test the battery and replace it if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the ANGLE control solenoid valve may not be opening completely and should be replaced.
What to do if the pump continues to run on my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower while the switch is in neutral?
If your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower pump continues to run while the switch is in neutral, disconnect the controller and turn the ignition on. If the pump continues to run, quickly remove power to the pump by disconnecting the power/ground cables to the plow and replace the solenoid. If the pump stops running when the controller is disconnected, there may be a short between the black and white/black wire in the controller, in which case you should replace the wire. Alternatively, the switch itself may have failed and needs replacement.
Why is my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower plow not lowering?
If your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower plow does not lower, first ensure that the power/ground and control cables are properly connected. Next, make sure the flow-control valve is open by placing the controller in neutral and then opening the valve. Check the wiring on the valve block. Additionally, check the voltage between the solenoid valve terminal and ground while the ignition switch is on and the controller is in the Float position; if voltage is present, replace the solenoid valve or valve coil. Finally, ensure that power from the relays is connected by checking the voltage between the black wire and ground at the white 9-pin connector; if no voltage is present, connect the relays.
How to fix oil leaks from the lift cylinders on my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower?
To fix oil leaks from the lift cylinders on your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower, tighten any loose fittings. If the rods are pitted or rough, polish them with a copus cloth or extra fine steel wool. You can also contact your authorized BOSS dealer for a seal kit.
How to troubleshoot a pump motor that does not run on a Boss Snowplow Snow Blower?
If your Boss Snowplow pump motor isn't running, start by checking the power, ground, and control cables to ensure they are properly connected. If the cables are connected, check for voltage at the pump motor while the ignition switch is on and the Raise button is pressed on the controller. If voltage is present, the motor brushes or pump/motor assembly may need to be replaced. Also, verify the cable between the battery and the solenoid is connected and not broken by testing for voltage between both large terminals and ground. If no voltage is present between one large terminal and ground, connect or replace the cable. If the cable is OK, check the solenoid by testing for voltage between the other large terminal of the solenoid and ground while jumping power to the small terminal with the w...
Why are the plow lights and truck lights on at the same time on my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower?
If the plow lights and truck lights are on at the same time on your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower, the vehicle wire harness may be plugged into the vehicle headlight. Check the wiring connections.
Why are all the plow and vehicle lights on at the same time on my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower?
If all of the plow and vehicle lights are on at the same time on your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower, the headlight adapters may not be installed correctly. Correctly install the headlight adapters.
Why does the blade on my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower trip too easily?
If your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower blade trips too easily, check if the trip springs are loose or damaged. Tighten the springs if they are loose, or replace them if they are damaged. Also, ensure the pushbeam is at the correct height and adjust it if necessary.
What should I do if I see fluid leaking from the lift cylinders on my Boss Snowplow Snow Blower?
If you notice fluid leaks from the lift cylinders on your Boss Snowplow Snow Blower, first check if the fittings are loose and tighten them. If the fittings are not the issue, the O-rings may be damaged. Additionally, inspect the rods for pitting or roughness; if present, polish them with a copus cloth or extra fine steel wool.
