25. Mark hydraulic fittings for position and location on
both Angle and Raise Cylinders and carefully disconnect
them.
NOTE: Do not loosen fitting in cylinder body. Loosen only
at connection with hose.(See Figure 2-9)
26. Manually work the two and Raise Cylinders through
their entire range of motion in order to drain the fluid
remaining in the cylinders.
27. Reconnect hydraulic fittings in their correct position
and Torque to 20-25 lb-ft. If unit utilizes O-Ring and jam
nut type connectors tighten jam nut to 12-15 lb-ft.
28. Re-install plow on vehicle according to the
instructions earlier in this manual.
29. Fill the hydraulic reservoir until the fluid level registers
full on dip stick.
NOTE: Vehicle must be parked on level ground and Plow
must be in the lowered position in order to properly check
the oil level with the Dipstick. Checking oil level with plow
elevated will give wrong reading.
30. Refer to plow operation instructions and operate the
plow to purge all air from the hydraulic system.
31. Replenish the fluid in the reservoir until the fluid level
registers full on dip stick.
32. Operate system and check for leaks, repair or tighten
as necessary.
Disk Shoe Adjustment
1. Raise the plow to the full UP position.
2. Place suitable blocking under plow to allow at least
10” of clearance to the ground.
3. Lower plow onto blocking.
CAUTION
Do Not
use Teflon tape or Pipe Dope On
hydraulic fittings. These can dislodge and jam
valves in the hydraulic system.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and apply the emergency
brake.

5. Adjust shoe assemblies by removing Shoe Mounting
Pin and adding or subtracting washers on the top or
bottom of the shoe mounting bracket. (See Figure 3-10)
NOTE: Adjust shoe assemblies to meet road conditions.
1/4” to 1/2” off the ground for hard surfaces, 1” to 2” for
gravel roads, etc.
6. After the Disk Shoe position is properly adjusted,
place washers on the Disk Shoe Stem - above the Disk
Shoe Mounting Bracket, and below the Retaining Pin - to
remove all up and down movement of the Disk Shoe in
the Bracket. Failure to do this will result in excessive wear
of the holes in the Disk Shoe Mounting Bracket and will
also result in bending the Disk Shoe Stem.
Cutting Edge
NOTE: Cutting Edge must be replaced when it is worn to
the bottom edge of the frame.
1. Raise the plow to the full UP position.
WARNING
Keep hands and feet clear of blade and A-Frame
when setting blocking and lowering plow.
Moving or falling assemblies could result in
serious injury.
