OPERATION TIPS
¾For best results set the suspension to the stiffest setting if possible.
MAINTENANCE
¾Periodically check for wear and tightness of all fasteners. Replace or tighten as necessary. Grease all pivot points
and hinges as needed.
NOTICE
¾The use of winch mounting kits not manufactured by Cycle Country Accessories with Work Power Blades will void
all warranties.
¾The Cycle Country Winch Kits are specifically designed to help prevent damage to the Plows, Winch Kits and
ATV's.
All references to right and left are relative to an operator sitting on the machine.
OPERATION
Your blade and hardware were designed with your safety in mind. In order to protect you and your UTV, certain parts of the
blade and/or hardware are designed to fail when the equipment is over stressed. For this reason the push tubes, blade hinges,
foot peg brackets, push plate attaching pins and clevis pins are not covered by warranty.
1. The blade angle is adjustable. To rotate the blade left, right or straight, lock blade in the up position, pull the blade
position lever ahead and turn the blade to the desired position. The lever will spring back when the blade is at the correct
angle.
2. The blade skids are adjustable to set the desired clearance between the plow and the ground.
3. The blade is designed to trip when it strikes an object or digs in too far. When pressure is released the blade springs back
into position. Blade spring tension may be set stiffer by tightening the locknuts on the bottom of the eyebolts. For less
spring tension, loosen the locknuts.

UTV HEAVY DUTY PUSH TUBE
Model Number 18-0010
Push Tube Assembly
Secure the Heavy Duty UTV Push Tube (Item 1) to the attaching bracket(s) on your
UTV using the 1/2” clevis pins provided in the attaching bracket kit.
Secure the lift bracket (Item 2) to the blade hinge (Item 3) using the 3/8” x 1” bolt
(Item 4) and locknut as shown in the parts list.
Secure the blade position lever bracket (Item 6) and the blade hinge (Item 3) to the
push tube (Item 1) using supplied bolt (Item 7), spacer (Item 8) and locking nuts
(Item 5, 9) as shown in the parts list.
Blade Connection
Fasten the blade spring brackets (Item 10) to the blade hinge, using the 5/16” x 1”
bolts (Item 11) and locknuts (Item 12) as shown in the parts list. Do not tighten
fully at this time.
Install the blade stops (Item 13) as shown on page 4 using the 3/8” x 1-1/4” bolts
(Item 14) and locknuts (Item 5). The forward angle of the blade can be set to one of
four positions by turning the blade stops to the desired position. It is recommended
that the top edge of the blade be directly above the bottom edge.

To secure the blade to the blade hinge (Item 3), place the 7/8” spacer (Item 17) into
the holes in the blade hinge. Secure the blade hinge to the blade with the 1/2" x 2"
bolts (Item 15), flatwashers (Item 16) and locknuts (Item 18). Tighten the nuts to 60
foot pounds of torque.
Hang the two blade springs (Item 19) from the top holes in the blades ribs. See
picture below for proper spring orientation. Place the eyebolts (Item 20) onto the
springs and fasten the eyebolts to the blade spring attaching brackets using the two
locknuts (Item 12). Tighten nuts holding blade spring brackets to the blade hinge at
this time.
Blade
Spring
Brackets
The spring tension may be increased or decreased by tightening or loosening the
locknuts on the eyebolts. The spring tension determines the force required to tilt the
plow forward when the bottom edge strikes an object.
Install the blade position lever (Item 21) and blade position spring (Item 22) using
the 5/16” x 1-3/4” bolt (Item 23), and the 5/16” locknut (Item 12) as shown below.
Tighten the bolt fully and then loosen just enough to allow the blade position lever
to move freely.

Blade Angle Operation
The blade can be angled straight or to the left or right. To change the plow angle,
push the blade position lever (Item 6) forward and turn the blade to the desired
position. The lever will automatically spring into the slot when the blade reaches the
proper angle.
