08 Moldboard & A-frame Assembly (Continued)
Secure one 3/8" flat washer, lock washer and 3/8"-16 x 1-1/4" hex
head cap screw through the top mount hole in the rear bracket and
into the pump. The bottom mount hole receives one 3/8" INTERNAL/
EXTERNAL TOOTH LOCK WASHER, 3/8" lock washer and 3/8"-16 x
1-1/4" hex head cap screw. The bottom mount location will serve as
the ground for the plow electrical harness. Installation instructions for
the harness can be found on page 9.
Note: A medium strength
threadlocker, such as Loctite® 242® should be used on the pump
and manifold mount fasteners. This will help prevent the fasteners
from working free. Mount the manifold to the side brackets on the A-
frame using the hardware provided on the manifold. The passenger’s
side mount bracket will serve as the ground location for the manifold
coil harness. Installation instructions for the coil harness can be found
on page 9.
9. Once the pump and manifold assembly is in place, connect the
hydraulic hoses to their respective adapters on the manifold. Review
the label under the pump cover to identify which hoses connect to
each port (See page 7).
Begin installing the hoses with the lift cylinder hoses. Connect the
base end hose (P/N 60293) to port #3. Connect the rod end hose
(P/N 60295) to port #4. Next, attach the 90˚ fitting, on the passenger’s
side angle cylinder hose (P/N 60296), to the male connector adapter
on port #2. Route the hose under the pump and over the manifold.
Lastly, connect the driver’s side angle cylinder hose (P/N 60294) to
port #1. Route the hose over the pump to the hydraulic adapter.
10. Hook each EXTENSION SPRING to the receiving holes located on
the pivot beam and connect the opposite end of the spring to their
respective SPADE BOLTS. Install the 5/8"-11 x 4-3/8" spade bolts
through the EXTENSION SPRING MOUNTING ANGLE on the top rear
of the blade. Secure each spade bolt by placing one 5/8" flat washer
on the bolt and thread one 5/8"-11 nylon insert lock nut. Tighten each
lock nut until a piece of paper can pass between the 3th & 4th coils
on the spring.
11. Install the flexible BLADE GUIDES at each end of the moldboard.
Insert the 5/16"-18 x 1" hex head cap screw through the holes provided
at the top of the outside reinforcement rib.Tighten all screws using the
nylon insert lock nuts provided.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed half of the installation.
Don’t quit now, you’re nearly out of the garage!
A medium strength threadlocker, such as
Loctite® 242®, should be used to properly
secure the mount hardware for the pump and
manifold.This will help prevent the hardware from
working free from vibration and plow use. Apply
a liberal amount of threadlocker to all threaded
fasteners and the threads in the pump and mani-
fold. Both the pump and manifold receive two
3/8"-16 x 1-1/4" hex cap screws—one on each
side of the A-frame and two into the pump.
