SNOWPLOW ASSEMBLY
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION! Before working on the wiring, winch or activator in your vehicle,
disconnect the battery and any other power sources.
CAUTION! For work connected with the vehicle, avoid touching any hot
surfaces such as the engine, radiator, hoses and exhaust pipes.
WINCH LEADS
1. Connect the winch leads (g.18), tagged
“To Motor”, to the contacts on the winch motor
as shown (g.19). Be sure the rubber caps
cover the connections well to prevent water
entry. The red lead should be connected to the
positive (+ upper) terminal on the winch, and
the black lead connected to the negative (-
lower) winch terminal.
2. Lay the red and black leads down along
the winch support tower, using nylon ties to
secure them in place.
3. Use a nylon tie to retain the short cable
leash on the blue 2” connector plug cap to the
winch support tower.
CONTROL BOX
The control box includes a transponder that can connect it wirelessly to a wireless
remote control switch (optional at extra cost). There is also a hard-wired manual
winch control switch (y, g.20) included to operate your plow.
1. Attach the control box (s,g.20) to the vehicle in the engine compartment. Mount
it securely, away from moving parts and sources of heat. Take into account the
amount of wire available to reach the vehicle battery and the amount of wire
available to connect to the winch leads.
2. Run the red (p, g.20) and black wires (n, g.20) attached to the blue 2 inch
connector plug (v, g.20) forward to a point outside the front of the vehicle near
the custom mount, where the plug can easily be connected to the plow lead.
Leave some slack.
3. Run the red and black wires marked “To Battery” to the battery. The black wire
should be connected directly to the negative terminal of the battery.
NOTE: Do not connect the black (negative ground) wire to the vehicle chassis
or bodywork. It must lead directly to the negative battery terminal.
4. The red wire must be connected to the positive terminal of the battery with an
intervening in-line 35 amp circuit breaker (w, g.20) or fuse. The 35 amp circuit
breaker is necessary to prevent possible electrical damage to either the winch
or the vehicle’s electrical system.
WARNING: If there is a DK2 wireless controller in the immediate vicinity of
the control box, it can operate your plow’s winch. Be aware there is danger of
unexpected movement of the winch and blade.
5. Run the hard-wired control lead so that the switch (y, g.20) goes into the cab
of the vehicle and the plug (u, g.19) connects to the socket in the top of the
control box (t, g.20).
WARNING: Never stand between the vehicle and the blade nor stand within
3 m (10 feet) of a blade in motion. Moving or falling blades can cause serious
personal harm.
