COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The primary snow plow components are described
within the following list:
• Moldboard — Snow blade constructed from high
tensile steel
• Trip springs — Allow the moldboard to tilt for
ward and slide over obstructions without losing the snow load
• Sector — Used for positioning the moldboard
• straight ahead or angling it to the right or left

Description
and
Operation
3
• Sector shear pin — Self-locking pin that locks the moldboard in either a straight ahead or an an
gled plowing position
If the blade impacts obstructions, the pin will
shear to protect the snow plow and the vehicle
from damage. The pin is not used with power angle plowing.
• Power angling cylinders — Enable the operator
to move the moldboard either straight ahead or to
the side
• Hinge pins — Allows the A-Frame to pivot up
and down. The pins act as attaching points.
• Cutting edge — Replaceable blade edge extends
the life of the blade • Runners — Adjustable runners retain the cutting
edge at the proper height
• Sno-Flo paint — Specially developed high-
• visibility, yellow paint provides fast, smooth snow-
rolling action • Hydraulic pump and motor (Electro-Touch ™)
— Hydraulically raises, lowers and angles the snow
plow
• A-frame — Provides the means for attaching the snow plow to the vehicle
• Lift arm — Raises and lowers the snow plow.
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
AND OPERATION HYDRAULIC CYLINDER
AND
MOTOR
The hydraulic cylinder and motor unit is designed
to raise, lower and angle the blade. The power unit is a high torque, 12-volt motor that
is coupled to a gear-type hydraulic pump. The toggle switches operate the solenoid valves.
The following components control the snow plow blade positioning: • Solenoid valves designated A,B, and C
• Mechanical hydraulic check valves
• Pilot check valve
• Crossover relief valve
SOLENOID
fELEGTRO'MEGHANIGALj VALVES
Three solenoid valves are used for snow plow con
trol. Each valve is comprised of two components:
• Cartridge — Comprised of a valve and a solenoid.

13 - 4
FRAME
AND
BUMPERS
• • Coil — The electrical component that retracts the
cartridge solenoid.
With power applied, the solenoid retracts and pulls
the poppet valve into the OPEN position.
When power is turned off, the spring forces the so
lenoid back to its normal, CLOSED position.
SOLENOID
VALVE
A The solenoid valve A cartridge contains a poppet
valve. This valve is normally de-energized in the CLOSED position. When closed, the valve retains
pressure in the lift cylinder. When it is energized (valve opened), it allows the fluid to flow from the
lift cylinder back to the reservoir. This enables the
plow blade to lower via gravity.
Solenoid valve A is designed to remain energized
(valve open) during plowing to provide a floating
blade position. This ensures that the plow blade is guided up-down by the surface deviations.
SOLENOID
VALVE
B The solenoid valve B cartridge contains a spool
valve. This valve is normally in the de-energized CLOSED position. This allows the fluid to flow to the
C solenoid. In the energized OPEN position, the fluid
is diverted to the lift cylinder. This causes the plow
blade to be raised.
SOLENOID
VALVE
C The solenoid valve C cartridge contains a spool
valve that is normally in the de-energized CLOSED
position. This allows the fluid to flow to the right- side power angling cylinder. This angles the blade to
the left. At the same time, it allows the fluid from
the retracting left-side power angling cylinder to re
turn to the pump reservoir. Energizing the solenoid valve will route fluid to
the left side angling cylinder. This angles the plow
blade to the right. Also, the fluid is forced from the
retracting right side cylinder. It flows through the C cartridge valve and returns to the pump reservoir.
MECHANICAL HYDRAULIC VALVES The mechanical hydraulic valves all have the same
function: they control the direction of the hydraulic
fluid flow.
CHECK
VALVES
Check valves allow fluid to flow freely in one direc
tion while preventing fluid from flowing in the oppo site direction.
A pump check valve is used to prevent fluid from
leaking back through the pump to the reservoir.
Two additional check valves are necessary because
solenoid valves B and C have some leakage.
One check valve is located between solenoid valve
B and the lift cylinder. It prevents fluid in the lift cylinder from leaking back through solenoid valve B.
If fluid leaks back, it could angle the blade to the
left. This would force fluid through solenoid valve C into the right side cylinder.
The other check valve is located between valve B
and valve C. It prevents fluid from being forced
through solenoid valve B.
PILOT CHECK VALVE
A pilot check valve has a piston in addition to a
ball seat and spring. A pilot check valve is located
between solenoid valve C and the reservoir. It has two functions:
• Prevents the hydraulic fluid in either angling cylinder from leaking back to the reservoir.
• Allows the hydraulic fluid from a retracting an
gling cylinder to return to the reservoir. The valve action is done by fluid moving the pis
ton, which forces the check ball off its seat.
CROSSOVER
RELIEF VALVE
This valve protects against damage by a sudden
impact against the end of the blade. This will cause
high hydraulic pressure to accumulate in one of the angling cylinders. The hydraulic pressure increases enough to open
the crossover relief valve. The valve allows the
highly pressurized hydraulic fluid to flow to the other cylinder. This cushions the impact and changes
the position of the blade.
SYSTEM OPERATION Refer to Figures 2 through 5 for voltage application
and hydraulic fluid flow for each snow plow function.
Each figure shows the components that are actuated
for each function.
SNOW
PLOW WIRING DIAGRAMS
Refer to Figures 6, 7 and 8 for wiring diagrams.
Refer to Specifications chart at the end of this
group.
SNOW PLOW MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS
AND
TESTS
Refer to the charts and illustrations for proper di
agnosis.
SOLENOID VALVE COIL FUNCTIONAL TEST Test the coils for proper operation, according to the
following procedure. (1) Hold a screwdriver blade about 1/8 inch above
the nut on the coil to be tested. (2) Have a helper operate the control switch that
energizes the applicable coil.
CAUTION:
Do not connect an ohmmeter to a coil
when it is
applied.
This
can
cause
internal
damage
to the ohmmeter.
(3) If the coil is working, the electromagnetic ac
tion will pull the screwdriver down to the retaining nut. If this does not occur, use an ohmmeter to check
the coil for continuity.
