SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand all Cautions, Notices, and Warnings in this manual before you begin. In order to protect you and your
ATV / TV, certain parts of the plow system and / or hardware are designed to fail when the equipment is over-stressed.
Follow these guidelines to ensure satisfactory operation:
• Read this manual and your ATV / TV operators manual before use.
• Periodically check for wear and tightness of all fasteners. Replace or re-torque fasteners as necessary.
• Before first use, set plow in the furthest right or left angled position to check for interference with the vehicle.
• Operate with extreme caution on slopes and rough terrain. Be familiar with the area before you plow.
• Be aware of immovable objects that could be hidden in the area you are plowing.
• To avoid damage when pushing snow into a pile, reverse direction before raising the plow blade.
• Do not ram the plow blade into piles of snow.
• For best results, set the suspension preload of your ATV / TV to the stiffest setting.
• To reduce steering effort and increase mobility, set the air pressure of your tires to the maximum pressure specification.
• The plow skids are adjustable. General skid setting is even with the plow wear bar bottom edge, higher settings reduce the
chance of rocks and gravel from being collected.
• To increase traction during plow operation, operators can try: Securing weight to the ATV / TV for additional tire downforce,
reducing tire air pressure, or installing tire chains.

GENERAL
1. Park vehicle on a flat surface.
2. Shift vehicle into park.
3. Turn key to OFF position and remove key.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION
4. If equipped, remove the tow hooks from
front bumper and save for re-install later.
Remove the plastic front lower grille located
under the tow hooks/ front bumper. For the
plastic grille removal, there will be two
screws on the bottom and one screw on
each side. This will provide access to the
front vehicle frame to align plow mount to.
(See illustrations 1-1 and 1-2). Note, if your
vehicle has the plastic front lower grille,
this part will not be re-installed with plow
mount. Save for re-install when plow
mount is removed for off-season.
5. Newer models will have a different style
bumper without front tow hooks. Remove
the four OEM lower M8 x 60mm LG
mounting bolts, spacer tube and locknuts.
Save for re-install later. This will provide
access to the front vehicle frame to align
plow mount for installation. (See illustrations
1-2, 1-6 and 1-7).
6. Position the plow mounting bracket (item
#1) to the front bumper and align the upper
mounting holes with the tow hook / bumper
holes. From the bottom side, use the two
M10 bolts (item #2) and insert through the
lower mounting holes through the vehicle
skid plate and fasten on top skid plate, in
front of gearcase, with M10 locknuts (item
#3) as shown. (See illustrations 1-3, 1-4 and
1-5). Note, do not tighten hardware at
