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.
