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 14.
2. Pressure wash and dry the entire snowplow prior to placing in storage.
3. Apply a liberal amount of dielectric grease to all electrical plugs and
connections. Clean and install all dust caps.
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 A-frame latch. 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. Remove and properly discard the fluid from the pump reservoir. Clean
the pump filter and replace the hydraulic oil to within 3/4" from the top
of the reservoir. Changing the fluid annually will prolong the life of your
pump and manifold. Never mix different types of hydraulic oil. Contact
your local dealer for replacement Blizzard Snowplow Rapid Action
Hydraulic Oil (P/N 63070).
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 oil in the pump reservoir, it is
strongly encouraged that you do so prior to operating your plow. Pro-
longed storage could result in condensation build-up.
3. Follow the mounting procedure illustrated on page 14.
4. Once the plow has been properly mounted to the vehicle and all
electrical connections have been made, initiate all of the functions of
the snowplow. Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir and fill to 3/4" from
the top of the tank if needed.
5. Adjust the snowplow headlights as needed.
