1. Perform this operation with the snowplow
attached to the truck on a hard, level surface.
Disable the one‑touch FLOAT feature, if
enabled. (See "One‑Touch FLOAT" in the
Operating Your Snowplow section of this
manual.)
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Do not mix different kinds of hydraulic
uid. Some uids are not compatible and
may cause performance problems and
product damage.
CAUTION
Change the uid at the beginning of each
plowing season. Failure to do this could
result in condensation buildup during the
non-plowing season.
2. Place a sturdy block under the A‑frame/
T‑frame so the blade will be suspended a few
inches off the ground when lowered.
3. Lower the blade until its weight is supported
by the block.
4. Activate the control FLOAT function and
manually collapse the lift ram all the way. (Not
required for HT Series™ blades.) Turn the
control OFF.
NOTE: Loosen the ll plug slowly to relieve
any pressure in the reservoir.
5. Remove the drain plug in the bottom of the
hydraulic reservoir for straight blades, or the
drain cap located on the tting side of the
hydraulic unit for XtremeV™, XV2™, and XLS™
blades. (See illustrations on previous page.)
6. Completely drain the reservoir and replace the
drain plug/cap.
