Hydraulics
Hydraulic connections from the power unit to the SB snow blade are made at the snow blade. Hydraulic hoses and
connectors from the snow blade to the power unit is the responsibility of the owner.
The following describes the typical connection procedure, however customizing the connections is possible (mid mount
loader valve, etc) and is up to the customer. See your power unit manual on how to operate your auxiliary hydraulics.
Caution: only
qualified personnel should make modifications and connections to the power units hydraulic system.
Hydraulics
• The hydraulic hoses must be:
• Good quality, 3000 psi min
•
Sufficient length to reach the auxiliary ports
• 3/8 i.d. minimum.
• Snow blade end of the hose must have 1/2” NPT
fittings
•
Power unit end, connectors to fit your auxiliary
ports.
• At the power unit, route the hydraulic hoses from the
power units auxiliary remote hydraulic connections to
the SB snow blade connection at the cross over relief
valve.
• Do not lock the auxiliary hydraulics in the “ON”
position unless your snow blade has the optional HLA
Wired Joystick Control, open center valve kit.
• Ensure the hydraulic hose is secured and protected
from snags, crimping or pinching.
• Mark the connections appropriately on the hoses.
Test and Inspect
Once the SB is securely attached and hydraulics connected test the function of the hydraulics. Ensure there are no
bystanders in the working area around the snow blade or power unit to avoid potential injury.
Check clearances for the hydraulic hoses and wire harnesses, rotate blade left and right and look for any interference.
At first use the hydraulic components on this product may contain air or an air-fluid mixture. Cycle all the hydraulic
components several times, fully cycle through their range of motion until all air has been completely removed from all
components.
