WARNING: Most new trucks are
equipped with driver and passenger’s
side air bags. DO NOT remove, disable, or
reposition any sensory equipment related to
the safe operation of the air bags.
ALWAYS follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations for installing snowplowing
equipment.
Failure to comply with the above warning may
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: If your vehicle is equipped
with oversize tires, they may come
into contact with the undercarriage hanger
plates when turning the vehicle.
The problem may be resolved by setting the
steering stops on the vehicle. If this does not
correct the problem, the original tires will need
to be installed on the vehicle.
The recommended push beam height for all
undercarriage assemblies is 12-1/2" from the
center of the push beam to level ground. DO NOT
exceed 14" in height for any undercarriage.
1.
Begin the undercarriage assembly by removing the metric bolts that
attach the bumper to the TRUCK FRAME RAIL and both bolts from the
BUMPER SUPPORT ARMS.
2.
Proceed to install each HANGER PLATE to the outside of the truck frame
rail using three 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2" bolts with 1/2" washers and top lock nuts.
3.
Attach the bumper support arms to the rear hanger plate mount using
one M12-1.75 x 45 bolt with M12 washers and top lock nuts.
4.
Install the PASSENGER’S SIDE PUSH BEAM SUPPORT ARM to the truck
frame rail in front of the engine crossmember (bottom hole). Secure with
one 5/8"-11 x 4-1/2" bolt, washer and a top lock nut.
5.
Install the DRIVER’S SIDE PUSH BEAM SUPPORT ARM to the truck
frame rail and crossmember located under the steering shaft. Mount one
1/2"-13 x 5" bolt and washer from the underside of the crossmember
and secure with one top lock nut.
6.
Proceed to install one 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2" bolt with welded tab on the driver
side support arm to the truck frame rail. “Snake” the welded bolt through
the access hole behind the support arm on the truck frame rail using a
stiff wire. Position the bolt through the hole with the welded tab on the
interior of the rail.
Note: The welded tab will prohibit the bolt from turning
while tightening the 1/2" nut and washer.
7.
Attach the PUSH BEAM to each hanger plate using eight 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2"
bolts. Attach both push beam support arms to the brackets at the rear
of the push beam using four 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2" bolts. Secure all bolts with
1/2" top lock nuts.
8.
Once the undercarriage is positioned with the appropriate hardware,
tighten all top lock nuts. Reference the chart on page 4 for maximum
bolt torque.
9.
Replace the bumper and bumper support arms with the original hardware.
10. Position the LIGHT TOWER into the accepting pockets on the push beam
and tighten using two 1/2"-13 x 1-1/4" bolts with washers. Secure each
bolt with a 1/2" top lock nut. Mount each PLOW HEADLIGHT to the light
tower with the hardware kit provided.
Complete the assembly by plugging the connectors from the lights into the
connectors on the vehicle wire harness.
