General Maintenance

Diamond Equipment recommends this maintenance information for regular

service. Sustained heavy operation may call for more frequent service.

Snowplowing subjects a vehicle to exceptionally rugged use. As a result, it is

important to inspect and bring the snowplow and vehicle up to maximum

operating conditions. Inspection should be made of both the vehicle and

snowplow prior to the plowing season and after each use.

Pre-Season Maintenance

Scheduled vehicle maintenance should be performed as recommended by

the manufacturer.

Don't forget that in addition to keeping equipment in order:

1. Keep windshield wipers, heaters and lights working.

2. Diamond offers as standard equipment quartz halogen snowplow lights

for even brighter illumination.

3. Equip vehicles with chains where necessary.

4. Provide operators with protective clothing and with rubber gloves for

handling snow melting chemicals.

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM—For maximum efficiency, the vehicle

supporting the snowplow must be properly serviced. The system should

consist of at least a 70 amp/hr. battery and a 60 amp alternator. Be sure to

check regularly:

1. Battery terminals to assure they're clean and free of corrosion.

2. Electrical connections, to assure they're tight and corrosion-free. Taping

may be called for. All wires must be held clear of moving or hot engine

parts or sharp sheet metal.

3. Battery must be in top operating condition.

4. Alternator and regulator, to assure maximum electrical output.

SNOWPLOW

NOTE: ALWAYS lower moldboard to ground when vehicle is not in use.

Check the Troubleshooting Chart, pages 20-22, and Post Season

Maintenance, page 19, for advice on maintaining the unit.

1. Check and maintain hydraulic fluid reservoir level to 1 " - 1 1/2" from top

cap. (Lift cylinder in down position.)

2. Check entire hydraulic system for leaks. A significant drop in hydraulic

fluid level is evidence of a leak which must be corrected to prevent

serious damage. See page 19

3. Before and after each season, remove sector pivot pins, thoroughly

grease pivot tubes and reinstall pins. Lubricate all pivot points with

chassis lube.

4. ADJUSTING TRIP SPRING TENSION - Tighten

adjustment nut to the point when spring coils

begin to separate. Tighten bottom locknut to

hold in place.

5. WEAR SHOES

A. Inspect moldboard wear shoes for wear

and height adjustment.

B. Always replace wear shoes as soon as they start to wear through.

C. Adjust the wear shoes to maintain cutting edge height of 1/2"

above ground in snowplowing position. (Can be set higher when

used on gravel driveways.

6. CUTTING EDGE

Replace the cutting edge before it wears to the attaching bolts. This will

prevent permanent damage to the trip edge.

7. MOUNTING BOLTS

Retighten all mounting bolts after first snowplowing session and at

regular intervals through the season.

8. SNO-FLO® PAINT

At the beginning and end of each season, remove any accumulated rust,

then paint the moldboard surface with Meyer Sno-Flo® paint to inhibit

rust formation. Touch-up paint is also available in aerosol cans—both

Sno Flo® yellow and black.
