CAUTION
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE J-BOLT. DOING SO
WILL PINCH THE END OF THE WINCH CABLE
LOOP SUCH THAT IT WILL WEAR OUT
PREMATURELY.
DRIVE SLOWLY OVER BUMPY AND ROUGH TERRAIN.
DRIVING AT SPEEDS THAT CAUSE THE PLOW TO
BOUNCE WHILE IN THE UP POSITION CAN CAUSE THE
WINCH TO BACK-DRIVE CAUSING THE PLOW TO
WORK ITS WAY DOWN. THIS MAY RESULT IN THE
PLOW IMPACTING A STATIONARY OBJECT AND CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND OPERATOR INJURY OR
DEATH. DRIVE AT SPEEDS SUCH THAT THE PLOW DOES
NOT BOUNCE AND BE AWARE OF THE PLOW POSITION
WHILE DRIVING AT ALL TIMES.
IV. MAINTENANCE/CARE
1.
Inspect all metal parts on the plow, plow mount,
and related hardware. Replace all hardware that
appears rusted or deformed prior to use.
2.
Inspect all nuts and bolts on the plow, plow mount,
and related hardware prior to each use. Tighten all
nuts that appear to be loose. Stripped,
fractured, or bent bolts or nuts need to be replaced
prior to use.
3.
Check all cables prior to use. Replace cables that
look worn or frayed.
4.
Check all moving or rotating parts. Remove debris
V. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM #1:
Difficulty getting the U-Bolts (D1)
through both the skidplate and Plow Mount (A1).
SOLUTION #1:
Remove the Plow Mount (A1) and
enlarge the holes in the skidplate by using a larger
drill bit or similar means. Reinstall the plow mount
with the U-bolts first and install the 5/16” Washer
(D2) and Nylock Nut (D3) to the ends of the U-
Bolts, but only thread the first few turns. Now align
the rear tabs and install the 6mm Bolt (B1), 1/4” Flat
Washer (C2), and 1/4” Lock Washer (C3). Tighten
all nuts and bolts securely.
THE PURPOSE OF THE J-BOLT IS TO BREAK THE
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PLOW AND THE WINCH
TO PREVENT SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ATV IF THE
PLOW IS RAISED TOO HIGH. THE PLOW BLADE WILL
DROP SUDDENLY IF THE J-BOLT BREAKS, SO BE SURE
THAT THERE ARE NO BYSTANDERS WHEN YOU RAISE/
LOWER THE PLOW. DO NOT RAISE THE TOP OF THE
PLOW ABOVE THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE ATV AS IT IS
NOT ONLY UNNECESSARY, BUT POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING TO THE VEHICLE AND PLOW. IF YOU
NOTICE DEFORMATION OF THE J-BOLT, OR THE J-
BOLT IS BROKEN, REPLACE IT WITH THE SPARE J-
BOLT INCLUDED IN THE KIT.

assembly should look like Figure 8.
Plow mount installation is now complete. Proceed to the next
section entitled “Maintenance/Care”.
that may inhibit the part from moving freely.
