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
fender, using nut driver (Figure 2B). Cut out (6) plastic rivets from inside of front fender, three on each side (replace-
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.
Install mount brackets to frame using 1/2" and 3/8" hardware as shown in Figure 2. Finger tighten so brackets move
freely. Repeat for opposite side.
Measure distance from inside to inside of Sportsman uprights near slots. Center mount brackets on vehicle so that this
distance is the outside to outside measurement of the mounting brackets.
Make sure brackets are properly aligned and tighten fasteners. Recommended torque values are 64 Ft.Lbs. for 1/2”
fasteners and 26 ft. lbs. for 3/8" fasteners.
Replace bumper/grille in opposite order of removal. (Step 3). Use the replacement, plastic “push-type” retainers

Place cardboard under front side of vehicle. Lay Sportsman on cardboard with front side down. Slide Sportsman
back so that the rearmost slots align with the rearmost slots on the brackets. Attach Sportsman to brackets at rearmost
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
tighten at this time.
