Installation Instructions
1. To secure the blade to the tube system,
place the pitch bushing (Item 7.4.1)
into the blade gusset hole. Secure the
tube system and the blade together with
carriage bolt (7.3.4), washer (7.3.3) and
lock nut (7.3.2), as shown in Figure 1.
Repeat on other side.
2. Insert the plow springs (Item 7.2) into the
top smaller rear holes in the ATV cradle,
as shown in Figure 2. Place the eyebolts
(Item 7.3.8) onto the end of the plow
springs and secure the eyebolts onto the
plow blade gusset, as shown in Figure 2
using Items 7.3.9 and 7.3.10. Leave spring
tension loose as you will decide tension
in Step 5.
3. Assemble on machine and decide desired
pitch of blade. (Blade pitch controls the
angle of which the blade contacts the
ground.) Each hole is 5 degrees of blade
pitch adjustment.

Note: Figure 3 shows the default position.
Recommened for proper blade level.
4. With springs installed pitch blade under
tension and install socket head cap screw
(7.3.5) and lock nut (7.3.1) into desired
pitch position hole.
5. Tighten nuts down on eye bolt until
desired spring tension is reached.
Note: For each 1/4” that the nut is
tightened it will add 12 lbs of spring
tension.

6. Intsall lift hook bracket. The tube system
has 3 positions for the lift hook bracket.
Choose best postion for desired lift
height and cable/rope angle.
Position 1 is the default position
allowing more clearance between
winch and bracket
Position 2 uses the same bolt holes,
but in this case the bracket is flipped
over.
Position 3 is used for machines
where the cable is at a severe angle,
such as upper mounted winches. This
position will require longer bolts to
be installed.
7. The tube system has five positions of
rotation for your blade (Figure 5). Each
adjustment is at 12.5 degree increments.
In order to make each adjustment you
will need to pull on the Pull Pin (Figure
4, Item 4.5) and rotate your blade left or
right until you reach the desired angle.
8. To attach the tube system to any KFI
mounts, position the tube system with
blade installed under your ATV. Raise
tube attach points to the mount and line
up the holes on mount plate with the
holes in the tube system. Insert Safety
Pin (Item 7.4.2) through holes and
secure on other side with clips as shown
in Figure 6.
