adapter on the cylinder. Both hoses should be routed through the tri-
angular openings in the A-frame.
5. Begin the draw latch installation by first removing the DRAW LATCH
MOUNT PIN & SPACER from the assembly. By removing this pin, the
INNER DRAW LATCH PLATES can swing free. Proceed to remove
the INNER DRAW LATCH PLATE LIFT CYLINDER MOUNT PIN.
Position the plates on either side of the lift/lower cylinder rod and insert
the pin through the plates and cylinder rod. With the cylinder connected
to the inner draw latch plates, rotate the draw latch assembly toward
the draw latch mount holes on the A-frame. Align the holes in the outer
draw latch plate with those of the inner draw latch plates and the
A-frame. Note: The A-FRAME LATCH, located at the rear center of
the A-frame, should be raised up to insert the draw latch mount pin.
Pull the A-FRAME LATCH PULL PIN out and rotate the latch counter-
clockwise if it is locked into position.Secure the assembly to the A-frame
by replacing the draw latch mount pin and spacer. Reset the A-frame
latch so the A-frame latch pull pin locks into place.
Once you have completed the draw latch installation, we will shift our
attention to assembly of the manifold.The manifold, pump and coil harness
have been joined together at the factory; however, the manifold contains
several components that you will need to install prior to securing the
assembly to the A-frame.
6. Each of the 4 HOSE PORTS on the HYDRAULIC MANIFOLD are
covered with stretch wrap. Remove the wrap and install the appropriate
fitting (illustrated on page7) in its respective port.
Note: All ports are identified by a stamped number on the manifold.
The numbers also identify the hydraulic functions, which can be ref-
erenced on the label under the hydraulic pump and manifold cover
(see illustration on page 7).
To mount the straight blade, the A-frame latch
should be lowered over the draw pin–this allows
the draw latch to pull the plow into the undercar-
riage. Once the plow is safely attached to the
undercarriage, rotate the A-frame latch counter-
clockwise until the lock pin snaps into place.The
A-frame latch is only used to mount the plow.
Do not allow the lock pin to set behind the pin
catch hole in the raised position.The A-frame
latch should always be locked in place when
not in use.
All of the hoses shipped with the snowplows
contain either a stamped number on the sleeve or
a printed label applied to the hose. All numbers,
stamped or printed, correspond with the stamping
of the ports on the manifold.
