indicated in Figure #3. Notice that not all the holes will be used in the attachment of the Frame Mounting
Bracket to the frame. This is because this bracket is use on other bikes that use the other holes. Use only
the holes as shown in Figure #3. The “tabs” should be oriented toward the front of the bike.
FIGURE #2: INSTALLING U-BOLTS ONTO FRAME
Install the 5/16” Nylock nuts onto the U-bolt. For the 450S model, lift up the “right” side of the bracket
and install the remaining 5/16” U-bolt and it’s respective 5/16” Nylock nuts, and tighten all the 5/16” nuts
to approximately to 15ft-lb (20N-m). For the 450ES model, lift up the “right”side of the bracket and either
mark the hole(as indicated in Figure #3) and drill through the skid plate, or drill through the hole(as
indicated in Figure #3), through the skid plate using the Frame Mounting Bracket as a template. This is
done on the 450ES models inorder to install the remaining “right” U-bolt.

2. Plow Installation:
Slide the plow into position with the tubes under the ATV. Lift the end of the tube assembly into position so
the holes in the Tube Wings line up with the 3/8” holes in the frame bracket. A Phillips head screwdriver
may be used to align the holes. Insert both 3/8” pins and hook the retaining clips on the ends of the pins to
secure the plow to the ATV. If it is determined that the Plow is not straight with respect with the ATV, then
the nuts on the Frame Mounting Bracket should be loosened and the plow adjustments made to make it
straight. Then retighten and torque the nuts on the Frame Mounting Bracket to approximately 15ft.-lb (20
N-m).
CAUTION
When using a winch with this plow, read your winch operator manual before
proceeding with this installation. ALWAYS USE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE
WORKING WITH OR AROUND A WINCH AS SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
MAY OCCUR. A roller fairlead must be used for lifting and lowering the plow. Cable
damage will occur if a roller fairlead is not used.
FRONT OF BIKE

WARN INDUSTRIES PAGE 5 39526 Rev B1
Attach the J-bolt bracket to the center hole in
the plow cross member using a 3/8”dia x 1”
long bolt as shown in figure 5. The bracket
should be mounted on the blade side of the
crossmember with the side flanges parallel to
the ground. Terminate the with a 3/8”dia
nylock nut. Tighten the bolt and nut to
recommended torque of 20 ft-lb (28 N-m).
Run the winch cable over the roller fairlead and
down to the J-bolt bracket. Using a 1/4" dia
J-bolt, hook the loop on the end of the winch
cable and slide the threaded end of the J-bolt
into the slotted hole in the J-bracket. Terminate
the end of the J-bolt with a 1/4"dia nylock nut.
Tighten the nut until the winch cable is snug
inside the J-bolt as shown in figure 6.
Note: Do not remove the winch hook
installed on the end of the winch cable,
simply slide it out of the way.
THE INSTALLATION SHOULD NOW BE COMPLETE.
READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL PRIOR TO USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
CAUTION
The purpose of the J-bolt is to break the connection between the plow and ATV when the plow is
subjected to high forces that could damage the plow or vehicle. The plow will drop instantly if the
J-bolt breaks, so be sure there are no bystanders when operating the plow.
Instances when the J-bolt might break are:
. If the plow is raised too high and stalls.
. If the operator is trying to lift too much material with the plow blade.
In general, do not raise the top of the plow blade above the headlights of the vehicle. If the plow
stalls, stop the winch immediately and lower the plow. After pushing material with the plow,
backup the ATV prior to raising it. If the J-bolt breaks, replace it with the spare hardware found
in this kit. Read the Plow Operators Guide for more information.
