<strong>RPME</strong>TRUCK HITCH INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUEDSTORAGEFigure 3 – Truck HitchFigure 4 – StorageFully retract lift cylinder <strong>and</strong> remove Pin A (Figure 3) from lift arm. Raise the lift arm <strong>and</strong> rotate thecylinder up to the hitch. Lower lift arm to the storage position as shown in Figure 4. Secure with Link<strong>and</strong> Pin B. Secure the cylinder in the storage position using Pin A.CAUTIONOPERATING INSTRUCTIONSMake sure the lift arm is supported before removing Pin A. Otherwise, thelift arm will drop when the pin is removed, causing damage or injury.Pull the plow lift lever to raise the plow, push the plow lift lever to lower the plow. When the lever isreleased, the valve will return to a neutral hold position <strong>and</strong> the plow will remain in that position. Somelift cylinders have a detent or (float) position on the lower (down) position.Hold the lever in the down position until the plow has found its lowest level, then release the lever.This allows the plow to properly follow the contour of the plowing surface. If the truck is equippedwith a four-position plow lift valve with a detent in the down position, the plow will naturally find itslowest level to follow the contour of the plowing surface.NOTICE!When lowering plow during snow plowing operation, make sure plow willnot drop instantly. A restrictor must be installed in the hydraulic line to thelift cylinder or the plow may lower too fast. Be sure the restriction to flow isin the down hydraulic circuit only.Please Give Part No., Description <strong>and</strong> Unit Serial No. 89766-C18Page Rev. A
