Refer to Figure 2-3 on page 13:
Two high pressure hydraulic outlets are required for the
hydraulic motor and one outlet for the case drain.
1.
Route hydraulic hoses along the most convenient path
to access your skid steer or tractor mounted hydraulic
reservoir couplings.
2.
Clean quick connect couplers of dirt and then connect
couplers (#1 & #2) to the skid steer couplers or
couplers at the tractor mounted hydraulic reservoir.
Make sure quick connect couplers have fully engaged.
If they have not, check the following:
a. Make sure couplers are same size and type.
b. Make sure hydraulic pressure has been released.
3.
If case drain line is fitted with the optional coupler,
then connect that coupler (#3) to the tank/sump
coupler and skip to step 5 below.
4.
If screwing case drain line directly to the tank/sump:
a. Remove plastic cap from case drain line (#3) and
wrap teflon tape around the pipe threads on the
end of the case drain line.
b. Screw case drain line (#3) to your equipment’s
tank/sump port until tight. All required adapter
fittings are supplied by customer.
5.
Turn auxiliary hydraulics on to check impeller rotation.
The impeller should rotate counterclockwise viewed
from the operator’s seat and clockwise viewed facing
impeller and auger from the front. If impeller rotates
incorrectly, switch male and female couplers on the
hydraulic hoses and reconnect hoses.
6.
Cable ties to be added at end of solenoid hook-up.
Solenoid Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-2:
There are six optional wiring harnesses and all connect
the same way to the Snow Blower solenoids (#1 & #2) but
connect differently to the skid steer or tractor. See pages
15 thru 17 for a detailed descriptions of all six.
1.
Skip to step 3 if optional wire harness (#4) has a 6 pin
connector. Otherwise, continue with step 2 below.
2.
If solenoid harness has a 14 pin connector, attach
harness to the 14 pin connector located on the end of
the loader arm. Skip to step 4 on this page.
3.
There are three toggle switch control harnesses
available. One is for tractor mounted Snow Blowers,
and two are for skid steer mounted Snow Blowers.
•
Install “Tractor Control Harness 370-133A” using
“Installation Instructions for Tractor Harness” on
page 15.
•
Install “Skid Steer Control Harness 370-434A”
using instructions in manual 370-452M included
with this kit. See page 16 for harness description.
•
Install “Skid Steer Control Harness 370-134A”
using instructions in manual 370-349M included
with this kit. See page 16 for harness description.

4.
Route wire harness (#4) in Figure 2-2 & Figure 2-3
along side hydraulic hoses to solenoids (#1 & #2).
Do not secure wire harness (#4) with cable ties at
this time.
5.
At solenoid (#1), attach brown banded
connector (#1B) to brown wire connector (#3B) and
white banded connector (#1W) to white wire
connector (#3W).
6.
At solenoid (#2), attach red banded connector (#2R)
to red wire connector (#3R) and green banded
connector (#2G) to green wire connector (#3G).
7.
Sit in the skid steer or tractor seat, fasten seat belt,
start unit, turn auxiliary hydraulics “on”, and position
loader arms fully down.
8.
At the control box, push on the “Tilt Up/Down”
toggle switch to tilt deflector spout up and pull toggle
switch to tilt deflector spout down. Watch spout to
make sure it moves in the proper direction.
9.
At the control box, push on the “Rotate Left/Right”
toggle switch to rotate chute to the left and pull toggle
switch to rotate chute to the right. Watch chute to
make sure it rotates in the proper direction.
10. Shut skid steer/tractor down and make any needed
adjustments to the solenoid connections as follows:
•
If spout tilts opposite of what it should, change
green wire connector (#3G) with red wire
connector (#3R) at solenoid (#2).
•
If chute rotates in the opposite of what it should,
change brown wire connector (#3B) with white wire
connector (#3W) at solenoid (#1).
Refer to Figure 2-3 on page 13:
11. Adjust path of hydraulic hoses (#1, #2, #3) and wire
harness (#4) to suit and secure with cable ties (#5)
as needed.
