We recommend that you read this manual completely so that you are fully aware of all important safety recommendations. Record your serial number. DANGER: This equipment was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury.
ENGLISH IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES 2. Make it a practice to completely lower the blade to the ground every time the vehicle is parked. A raised blade may drop unexpectedly and this can result in serious personal injury. WARNING! When mounting or removing the Snow Plow, keep hands and feet clear of the blade, mounting assembly and winch. Moving or falling assemblies have a potential to cause personal injury. Never use your finger to check alignment.
IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES CAUTION: The installation of a Snow Plow may have a bearing on the warranty for your vehicle. For more information, please carefully consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or your vehicle dealer. 7. The sudden jarring stop incurred when hitting hidden obstacles in the snow could trigger release of your vehicle’s airbags . Consult your vehicle manual or your vehicle dealer to mitigate this. 8.

ENGLISH INSTALLATION STEPS Pre-Installa�on The Installa�on should be completed on an asphalt/concrete surface, with sufficient area to work. Unpackage your new FRISTTRAX Snowplow, discard all shipping materials, recycle if possible. Once the plow is un-packaged, slowly roll the plow from its upright shipping configura�on over onto the built-in cart. Top up the oil reservoir to the fill line indicated with the 1L of hydraulic oil provided. Your new FIRSTTRAX Snowplow is now ready to be installed.
INSTALLATION STEPS ENGLISH Step 3 – A�aching the snowplow to the vehicle. Roll the plow to the front of your vehicle. The channel on the snowplow li� frame is to fit around the cross bar on the mount. Helpful hint…have the channel which is to slide over the front cross bar parallel to the ground. To alter placement simply push or pull on the top linkage which will allow you to change the current res�ng place.
ENGLISH INSTALLATION STEPS Step 4 – Connect the main power hand held control. Insert the large blue or red plug on the main power cord running from the ba�ery into the ma�ng plug on the passenger’s side of the li� link arm. Insert the handheld control plug into the matching rubber molded receptacle. Route the control wire up over the hood, under the driver’s side windshield wiper arm, around the driver’s side mirror and in through the window.
TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Plow is not func�oning: 1. Confirm the main power and control wire plugs are clean and properly connected 2. Confirm the control wire is properly connected to the hand held control. 3. Confirm that the main power inline breaker was not accidently tripped. Press the red bu�on on top and push the trip wing back in to reset Not the first three… 4.
ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING B - If the plow did not operate during the jumper test, check the small 10amp in line fuse down by the pump motor. If the fuse is ok remove the pump guard and with the use of a voltage tester confirm that there is 12volts on the main terminal where the red power lead is connected on the solenoid. If there is 12V supply try the next test to see if the control wire is defec�ve. Remove the cap on the main power feed and the green control wire from the solenoid.
ADJUSTMENTS If you are leaving the snowplow a�ached to a vehicle make sure rocker switch is in the middle posi�on on your hand held control when parked. If it is le� in the down (or float mode) posi�on it will con�nue to consume power and eventually drain your ba�ery Skid Shoe Adjustment With the use of two 1-1/8 open end wrenches loosen the jam nuts, adjust to desired height and re�ghten v.190915 En.
ENGLISH ADJUSTMENTS Drop Speed To adjust the drop speed of the blade when lowering loosen the 11/16 jam nut on the valve located at the front of the pump block below the down valve, adjust with a flat screw driver and re �ghten the jam nut. Turn clockwise to reduce drop speed, counter clockwise to increase drop speed.
