One Truck. One Control. Any Plow.Common programmable controls with built-in SECURITY GUARD anti-theft system.• Easy to operate• Simple wiring• Easier installation• Increased reliability• Hand-held or joystick options• Programmable “soft-stop” and “one-touch” floatAvailable on all POWER HITCH 2 snowplow models.

Professional snowplowers recognize BLIZZARD ® snowplowsfor cutting-edge product innovation that delivers exceptionalversatility, productivity and profitability. Products likethe POWER PLOW snowplow—the industry’s firsthydraulically-adjustable expandable-wing snowplow, andthe exclusive SPEEDWING snowplow—the unique easy-to-use multi-position snowplowthat automatically adjusts wing-angle for maximum plowing efficiency, distinguish Blizzardas the snowplow technology leader. Blizzard also builds a full line of high-performanceheavy-duty and light-duty straight blade snowplows that fit a wide range of vehicles.The BLIZZARD POWER HITCH 2 mounting systemuses snowplow hydraulics to secure the plow toyour vehicle undercarriage with the simple flip of aswitch. It’s fast and effortless. The mount adaptor iseasily removable from your vehicle to provide extraoff-season ground clearance.Here’s how easy it is:• First, connect the electrical plugs together.• Next, flip the switch and the hitch arm engages the back of thesnowplow into positive alignment with the vehicle undercarriage.• Two spring pins secure the snowplow to the vehicle.STORM SEEKER headlamps are designed and manufactured with the plowing professional inmind. They are built to withstand significant road vibration, ensuring a constant beam pattern andeliminating the need for re-aiming. You simply can’t find better low-beam halogen illumination.• WATERTIGHT SEAL: The lens is adhesive-bonded tothe reflector, and the reflector is adhesive-bonded to thehousing, sealing out water that could potentially freeze anddamage the assembly.• REFLECTOR OPTICS: The reflector optics provide asmooth, wide-beam pattern with minimal glare, especiallyduring snowfall.• LONG-LIFE BULB: The long-life, H13 headlamp bulb has anaverage life of 1,500 hours, minimizing replacement overthe life of the lamp.• QUICK & EASY BULB REPLACEMENT: With a simplethree-screw bulb access cover and twist-in headlamp bulb,replacement is quick and easy, on those rare occasions thebulb needs to be replaced.• TWO-STUD MOUNTING: The robust, two-stud mountingkeeps the lamp in its original position, even when subjectedto the harshest shock and vibration forces.• STANDARD ON MOST BLIZZARD SNOWPLOWS:An available option on others.
