complete contents of this manual. It is the re-
sponsibility of owners who do not operate this
equipment to ensure the operator is properly
instructed and understands the contents of this
manual. It is also the owners responsibility to

mentally and physically capable of so doing.
Important information is contained in this manu-
al to help ensure safe and efficient operation.

Machine Serial No. This is a safety alert symbol. It alerts
an operator to information concern-
ing personal safety. Always observe
and heed these symbols and instructions,
otherwise death or serious injury can result.
Operator safety is a principle concern in equip-
ment design and distribution. However, many
accidents occur because a few seconds of
thought, and a more careful approach to han-
dling, were ignored.
Accidents can be avoided by knowing and fol-
lowing the precautions cited in this manual.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Read this manual thoroughly. Make sure
the operator understands it and knows
how to operate this equipment safely. This
equipment can kill or injure an untrained or
careless operator and bystanders. If you
sell this equipment, ensure the new owner
acknowledges receipt of this manual.
2. This plow is intended for plowing snow
only. Plowing gravel, rocks, etc., or using
the plow for any purpose other than plow-
ing snow could result in harm to the opera-
tor or bystanders or cause damage to the
plow or vehicle, and will void the warranty.
3. Do not service or otherwise handle a plow
in the raised position unless it is securely
blocked against unexpected falling.
4. Do not attempt to handle or service this
equipment, or direct others to do the same,
unless you know how to do it safely and
have the proper tools for the job.
5. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from moving parts.
6. Do not alter the equipment to the extent of
compromising safety or performance.
SAFETY
BEFORE OPERATION
1. Discipline yourself to visually check for
worn, damaged or cracked parts before
starting use. Replace these with genuine
Hiniker parts.
2. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
Do not use your hand to check for leaks.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard to find
suspected leaks. Tighten all connections
before pressurizing hydraulic lines.

If fluid is injected into the skin, get medical
attention immediately to prevent serious in-
fection.
3. Check all controls and operating functions
of the machine in a safe area before start-
ing to work.
DURING OPERATION
1. Always wear seat belts when operating a
motor vehicle.
2. Ensure everyone is clear of the machine,
especially away from blind areas of the op-
erator, before starting, actuating hydraulics
or operating this equipment.
3. Do not plow snow at excessively high
speeds.
4. Avoid hitting objects that will damage your
plow or truck.
5. Set the brakes and stop the trucks engine
before adjusting or servicing your plow.
AFTER OPERATION
1. Park the plow on a solid, level surface. Ful-
ly collapse the lift cylinder and use the stop
plate, as described on page 7, before un-
hitching the plow to prevent the frame from
falling forward.
Safety 3 OPERATING PROCEDURES
ATTACHING THE PLOW
Attachment prongs on the truck should be mount-
ed such that the bottom edge of the prongs mea-
sure about 10 inches above the ground. Prong
receivers on the plow frame should remain par-
allel to the ground and at the correct height by
fully retracting the lift cylinder with the upper lift
links and bracing the frame with the stop plate
before removing the plow from the truck (See
Removing the Plow). Ideally, the prongs on
the truck should lift the plow frame slightly when
driving into the plow for attachment.
Powdered graphite applied on the prongs will
help the plow slide on and off more easily.
Check that prongs are in line with the receivers
before slowly driving into the plow. Set the park-
ing brake in the truck to prevent it from creeping
back out from the receivers.
DWG NO. 5690
Remove the tab lock pin from the indexing hole
and raise the parking stand to its highest posi-
tion. Repin the stand lever to the front hole in
the push frame for transport.
Pull the latch handle into the clevis on the lift
frame to force the sliders through the notches in
the prongs and receivers.

Handle Pinned With Plow On Truck DWG NO. 5691
Pin the handle in the clevis with its klik pin.
Failure to pin the handle in place may allow the
plow to fall off the truck.
NOTE: Before connecting the plows wiring to
the truck, make sure power is switched Off on
the joystick controller.
Plug in the two electrical connectors between
the plow and the truck after latching the plow.
The alignment tab on the 10-pin receptacle will
mate with the slot in the mounting plate on the
truck grill to ensure proper connection.
Alignment Tab and Slot DWG NO. 3922
4 Operating Procedures Check that the plow headlamps and turn signals
are operational, and headlamps are aimed cor-
rectly. Test the lift and angling cylinders in a safe
area before using the plow.
To make alignment of the plow easier in the future,
mark a point on the back of the headlamp, a point
on the hood near
