Ensure mount level

with frame

4.

Once winch and plow mount are inside vehicle
frame, as shown in Figure 4, reinstall winch
mounting hardware (8mm capscrews) and torque
to 17 lb. ft. (22.5N-m).  Next reinstall top 8mm
capscrews (2) that connect top bracket to bottom
bracket using the original hardware.  Do not
tighten at this time.  Finally, install 1/4-20
capscrews (2) that connect plow mount assembly
to the bottom bracket.  Do not torque at this time.

5.

Install the 5/16-18 u-bolts around the vehicle
frame through the back side of the plow mount
assembly, as shown in Figure 5.  As a result of
limited clearance, needle nose pliers can be
used to place the washers over u-bolts and 1/2”
socket with an extension and u-joint will make it
easier to install the nuts on the u-bolts.  Do not
tighten in place at this time.  The access slot on
front side of bottom bracket may be used to allow
tool access to help tighten the nuts of the u-bolts
in place.

6.

As viewed from the front of vehicle, see Figure 6,
make sure plow mount is level with vehicle
frame.  Once in place, tighten all hardware and
torque to specifications.  Winch cables can now
be reconnected.

IV.  Rincon Installation continued
