3Attach each strut from the blade to the welded tabs on the push tube. Secure with a 3/8” x 2” shoulder bolt (#HDW9208) from the top and a 5/16”
nylock nut (#HDW7058) on the bottom. Place the plow system face down on the blade with the push tube up in the air. Move the push tube back
and forth to ensure there is no binding in the slide mechanism. Place the plow back on the ground in the normal position and install the pivot pin
(#HDW9207). You can now install the assembled plow system onto the UTV.
The push tube will slide into the center of the brackets on the back of the blade. Bolt the push tube to the blade by first sliding the spacer (#9360-112)
through the blade and push tube. Secure with the 1/2” x 3-1/2” hex bolt (#HDW9210), 1/2” flat washers (#HDW9025), and 1/2” nylock nut
(#HDW7089). See figure 1. It may be easier to position the blade face down on the ground and install the push tube vertically into the blade.

UTV STRAIGHT PUSH TUBE ATTACHMENT
3
This push tube is designed to attach and detach easily from the front of the machine. The pivoting plate on the back of the push tube has two hooks on the
front that attach to the front of the bottom mount plate. Once hooked in the front the blade can be pushed back to engage the locking lever on the pivot
plate to the bottom mount. After a few tries this can all be done in one swift motion.
1
2
Once you have it raised in place and positioned properly in step 2, you need to attach the plow to the bottom mount. Standing in front of the plow,
pull the system back towards the front of the machine a few inches then forcefully push it backwards in one swift motion until you hear/feel it click
into place. It may take you a few tries the first time you do it until you get the “feel” for it. NOTE: Keep your feet positioned behind
the plow while attaching to the machine to prevent any possible accidents!
To remove the plow system, let out the winch cable so the blade is on the ground and there is some excess cable.
Simply pull the release lever on the push tube while pulling forward on the blade and the pivot plate will disengage
from the mount. The plow system is quite heavy so it will drop to the ground with some force.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers, toes, or anything else between the push tube and ground.
Remove your winch cable and draw it back up into the winch. You can now drive backwards
away from the plow.
4Visually look under the machine to confirm the push tube has fully snapped into place. NOTE: Failure to
confirm the plow is securely attached could cause damage to your plow, ATV, or
person!! Let out the winch and place the plow back on the ground. Depending upon your winch mounting
location you may want to switch your winch LIFTING position to the other lifting point on the push tube.
If this works better for your machine, switch the winch hook to the other position. You are now ready to plow!

Proper position of the pivot plate and
bottom mount for an easy installation.
Pivot
Plate
The latch MUST be hooked
over the bottom mount.
Pull lever
to release.
The front hooks will catch the
rod on the mount and the rear
of the push tube will rotate up
into place.
PUSH
REMOVAL
Now raise the plow with the winch until the pivot plate of the push tube hits the bottom of the UTV and the blade is a few inches off the ground.
Look under the UTV to determine the placement of the pivot plate versus the bottom mount. Ideally the front pivot plate hooks will be a couple
inches in front of the welded rod on the front of the bottom mount. If not, put the plow back on the ground, adjust the lifting or bottom mount
location and try again.
The key to an easy plow installation is setting the proper winch lifting point. Ideally you will have
positioned the bottom mount 30-34 inches back from the winch roller fairlead. (For more detailed
information regarding installation of the bottom mount, please see the instructions that came
with the bottom mount) Position the plow under the UTV with the pivot plate of the push tube
just beneath the bottom mount. Let out some winch cable and attach the cable to the rear
lifting rod (Near the release handle). This should be close to being directly
beneath the roller fairlead. You may need to change the position of the bottom
mount to achieve this. Plow on ground with winch cable
attached to lifting rod on push tube.
Raise the plow so the
blade is off the ground
and the pivot plate is
against the bottom
of the UTV.
Standing in front of the plow push
the blade back so the front hooks
attach to the crossbar on the
mount and the rear snaps up
into place.

QUADBOSS UTV STRAIGHT PUSH TUBE
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Below are some tips to help you resolve any problems and keep your Quadboss plow system in proper working order. After reviewing, if you still need
technical assistance please call 877-847-1558.
PLOW ASSEMBLY WILL NOT ATTACH OR DISCONNECTS FROM THE BOTTOM MOUNT ON THE ATV.
1. Plow is not positioned properly. Lift the plow with the winch until the pivot plate of the push tube hits the bottom of the machine and the blade
is a couple inches off the ground. Now look under the machine to verify the hooks on the pivot plate are centered and in front of the bottom
mount. If not, re-position the winch lifting position or bottom mount until the plow is properly positioned. Using a firm swift motion push the
plow back until it engages into the mount.
2. Spring for the pivot plate on the push tube is worn or broken. The pivot plate needs to be angled upwards for the hooks to engage the bottom
mount. Replace the spring.
3. Linkage rod is bent or disconnected. Inspect to determine the problem and repair or replace the linkage rod.
4. Pivot plate is bent or damaged. The ears of the pivot plate must be straight. Straighten if possible or replace the pivot plate.
5. Latch pawl is worn or bent. Replace pawl.
6. Release lever is in the open position. Close lever which will position the pivot plate at the proper angle. If the lever will not close, inspect the
linkage rod, pivot plate, spring, and latch pawl for any damage.
7. Ice or snow buildup on either the pivot plate or bottom mount.
8. Bottom mount is bent or damaged. Inspect for any bending, shifting, warping, twisting or any other damage. The welded on rod must be straight.
Replace the bottom mount if damage is found.
9. Bottom mount plate is installed upside down. The rod is welded to the plate off center and must be facing upwards. The bottom of the mount
should be flush for the pivot plate to attach to.
BLADE IS STUCK OR IS DIFFICULT TO SWIVEL SIDE TO SIDE.
1. Pivot pin is still in the plow. Remove pin to swivel plow.
2. Ice, snow, dirt or other debris packed in the back channel of the blade. Thoroughly clean out any debris.
3. One or both struts broke. Carefully inspect both struts as the ends may tear open without coming loose from the plow. Replace as necessary.
4. Strut bolts bent or washers missing. Inspect for bent bolts or missing washers. See illustration for correct washer orientation.
5. Sliding lock plates inside back channel of blade are bent. Inspect for damage and replace where applicable.
6. Back channel of the blade is bent or the slots are pulled open. Repair or replace blade.
WEARBAR WILL NOT TRIP PROPERLY.
1. Wearbar, blade, or trip rod bent or damaged. Inspect for any bending, twisting, denting of the components and repair or replace. If there is no
obvious sign of damage, remove both trip spring assemblies and move the wear bar back and forth by hand to help pinpoint the problem area.
2. Rocks or other debris caught between the blade and wear bar. Remove the springs or VERY CAREFULLY force the wearbar open with a
prybar to let the debris fall out. NEVER pull it out using your hands!
3. Springs not installed correctly. Refer to the blade diagram to confirm all spring and spring rod parts are in the proper location. Verify the top
1/2” nuts on the spring rod are tightened most of the way down.
4. Springs broke or worn out. Replace if necessary.
WEARBAR TRIPS TOO EASILY OR CHATTERS DURING OPERATION.
1. Depending upon surface type and snow conditions some chatter is normal with this system to quickly hop over packed snow/ice. Simply make
one or two more passes to help clear the snow/ice. This chatter helps you keep plowing where the competitors plows trip forward forcing you
to stop, back up, and try again.
2. Springs are too loose or worn out. Verify the top 1/2” nuts on the spring rod are tightened most of the way down. Replace springs if worn.
