

Allofthemountkitshavebeendesignedusingmanufacturer’sframespecificationsaswellasactualframemeasurements.However

basedonourexperience,weknowthatthesemeasurementsarenotalwaysthesameandcaneasilyvaryby¼”ormore.



Wehaveattemptedtocompensateforsome

oftheseinconsistenciesbyprovidingslotsinoursupportbracketswhereverpossible.You

mayhoweverstillneedtoadjusttheholesinyourmountingbrackets,orvehicleframe.Thiscanbeeasilydonebyusingafile,asmall

grinder,ordrill.



Beforebeginningyourinstallationchecktheassemblydrawing

insideoftheboxtoconfirmthatyouhavethepropermountforyour

vehicle.Theaccessorypackageofyourvehicle(e.g.XLT,Custom,Sport,ExtendedCab,SLT,etc.)does notaffecttheframespecifications.

Manufacturerstendtohavemanymodels,butfewplatforms.Ourmountsaredesignedaroundtheseframesandplatforms.



Installation:

Manycustomersfindthatthemountinstallationisintimidatingbecausetheyarenotfamiliarwiththeundersideoftheirvehicles. In

general,amountingharnessconsistsofacrossmember(shippedwithyourplowhardware)andasetofcustombracketstoattachthe

crossmembertothe

vehicle.



Beginbylooselyattachingthebracketstotheframeofthevehicle,thenlooselyattachthecrossͲmembertothetwobrackets.



Becarefulnottopinchanywiresorhosesbetweentheplowmountandyourvehicleframe.



Whenthepartsareallinplace,pushtheassembly

backasfaraspossible(asthoughyouweretheplow)andbegintotightenthe

hardware.

NOTE:Wesupplystandardgrade5boltsandlocknutswhichwillappeartightasyouthreadthemontothe



Operation:

Afterplowingforthefirsttime,werecommend

thatyoureͲtightentheboltsonthemountingharness.Onmostvehiclesthe



2WDvehiclesandvehiclesequippedwithSportpackagewillnormallyhavealowergroundclearanceduetothetiresizeaswellasthe

suspensionpackage.

Youshouldexpectareductioningroundclearance atthefrontofyourvehicle,becausethemountingtubesmust

beexposedbelowthelowestpartofyourvehiclesbody.Addinganextrahelperspring,orincreasingthetiresizewillgiveyoutheextra

clearanceyoumayneed.Minimalgroundclearance

doesnotaffectyourabilitytoplow,but itdoesmeanyoumustuseextracaution

whenplowing.Avoidinganyraisedorunevenareasthatyourplowhardwaremaygetcaughtuponwillensuretroublefreeuse.
