Attaching the Snow Plow to the Prime Mover
NOTE: Before attempting to attach the Snow Plow to the prime mover, verify that all hydraulic couplings
are compatible.
WARNING – Improper attachment to the prime mover may cause personal injury.
CAUTION – All hydraulic connections must be clean and free of debris before making any connection.
1. Place the Snow Plow attachment on a level surface.
2. Position and align the prime mover to the rear of the attachment, within proximity of the front of
prime mover.
3. Insert and connect the prime mover into the attachment.
4. Connect the hydraulic lines from the attachment to the prime mover.
5. Close latches (or other locking mechanism) to secure the attachment to the prime mover.
6. Using the prime mover, raise the attachment and move the attachment to ensure hydraulic lines
are clear of air and operate properly.
CAUTION – Hydraulics should operate in an even and smooth manner. Hydraulic movement that is
not even and smooth may indicate that air is in the hydraulic lines.
7. Lower the attachment to ground level.
8. Route hoses away from pinch areas – install cable ties if necessary to assure extended hose life.
9. Inspect that the attachment is mounted properly and securely. If the attachment does not meet
this requirement, follow the instructions to remove the Snow Plow and re-attach using the
instructions above.
Removing the Snow Plow from the Prime Mover
WARNING – Improper disconnection may result person injury or damage to the attachment and prime
mover.
CAUTION – All hydraulic connections must be clean and free of debris before disconnection.
1. Using the prime mover, lower the attachment to the ground.
2. To prevent contamination, remove any dirt and debris from the couplings. Disconnect the
hydraulic connection between the attachment and the prime mover.
NOTE: Hydraulic connections must be disconnected before disengaging latches to prevent damage to
the prime mover or the attachment.
3. Disengage the prime mover latches (or other locking mechanism) from the attachment.
4. Move the prime mover from the attachment.

Operation and Maintenance
Equipment Inspection
It is recommended to inspect the equipment for damage and wear before use. Use the following list as a
guideline during equipment inspection.
• Check all hardware connections to the prime mover for damage or fatigue such as cracks
or other structural flaws.
• Check that all latches or locks are closed.
• Check that all hydraulic fittings are tight and free of leaks
• Check that all hydraulic lines are free of leaks, holes, or cracks.
WARNING – Do not use hands to check for hydraulic leaks. Keep body parts away from leaking
hydraulic lines and couplings that are under pressure.
• Check that the tires on the prime mover are in good condition and have proper load
ratings.
NOTE: Replace any damaged hardware, hoses, and fitting before using the equipment.
Usage Guidelines
Before each use do the following:
• Perform the equipment inspection by performing a walk around.
• Perform daily inspection as indicated in the Inspection Checklist.
• Verify that the proper attachment is being used for the task.
DANGER – Keep all body parts away from the Snow Plow when in use. The pivoting blade is
dangerous and hazardous and could potentially cause serious bodily injury or death.
Inspection Checklist
 Are all safety notices and warning stickers in proper locations and visible?
 Are there any visible hydraulic leaks?
 Are any cracks visible in Snow Plow structure?
 Is the cutting edge worn or bent?
 Are the bolts holding blades secure and tight?
 Has the prime mover been properly inspected for hydraulic leaks and proper tire inflation?
 Has the prime mover been properly maintained?
Operation
Always be sure the A-frame of your SnowWolf is level (perpendicular) with the ground when plowing, to
insure proper cutting edge wear. You can regulate the scraping ability of your SnowWolf by increasing or
decreasing the down pressure you apply via your tilt cylinders. The angle of your SnowWolf can be
changed at any time by using your auxiliary circuit. As you become experienced with the SnowWolf, you
will find its productivity will amaze you.
