Storing Your Snowplow 11
Storing Your Snowplow
Placing Your Plow In Storage
1. Position your plow on a flat, level surface for storage. Follow the dis-
mounting procedure illustrated on page 9.
2. Pressure wash and dry the entire snowplow prior to placing in storage.
3. Apply a liberal amount of white lithium grease to the male and female
electric connectors on the pistol grip wire harness.
4. Lubricate all exposed hydraulic cylinder rod ends with liquid white
lithium grease to prevent corrosion.
5. Lubricate all pins and bushings to prevent corrosion and to maintain
consistent operation, including the inner slide boxes. A NLGI Grade 2
multipurpose lithium complex grease with molybdenum (MPGM) is
recommended for lubrication.
6. Clean and cover deep scratches or exposed metal with Blizzard Snow-
plow white (P/N 61219) or black (P/N 63073) touch-up paint. Contact
your local Blizzard dealer for availability.
7. Change the hydraulic oil fluid in your skid steer as indicated by the
maintenance table in your skid steer Owner’s Manual. It is recom-
mended that the fluid in the snowplow attachment be replaced annually
and the hydraulic pump filter on the skid steer be cleaned.
8. Cover the snowplow with a tarp if stored outside. This will protect your
plow from sun fading and inclement weather which can lead to
accelerated corrosion.
Removing Your Plow From Storage
1. Perform all regular maintenance indicated on the previous page.
2. If you have not replaced the hydraulic fluid in the snowplow’s hydraulic
system, it is strongly encouraged that you do so prior to operating your
plow.
3. Follow the mounting procedure illustrated on page 9.
4. Once the plow has been properly mounted to the skid steer and all
electrical connections have been made, initiate all of the functions of
the snowplow. Monitor the fluid level in the skid steer periodically.
