To install mount brackets, removal of bumper/grille is necessary. Remove seven Phillips screws from grille, (four above
grille, and three on lower front of grille) (Figure 2A). Remove (2) 10mm bolts from bumper, located at front/inside of

ments provided). From beneath vehicle, remove three pin retainers from bottom/center of bumper with flat screw-
driver and disconnect fog lamp connector, (if equipped)(Figure 2C). Pull bumper/grille straight out from vehicle.

freely. Repeat for opposite side.

distance is the outside to outside measurement of the mounting brackets.

slots using 1/2” stainless steel black zinc fasteners provided.
Carefully rotate Sportsman up toward vehicle until remaining slots are aligned. Insert remaining 1/2" fasteners. Do not
