12-1/2"
WARNING: Most new trucks are
equipped with driver and passenger’s
side air bags. DO NOT remove, disable, or
reposition any sensory equipment related to
the safe operation of the air bags.
ALWAYS follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations for installing snowplowing
equipment.
Failure to comply with the above warning may
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: If your vehicle is equipped
with oversize tires, they may come
into contact with the undercarriage hanger
plates when turning the vehicle.
The problem may be resolved by setting the
steering stops on the vehicle. If this does not
correct the problem, the original tires will need
to be installed on the vehicle.
The recommended push beam height for all
undercarriage assemblies is 12-1/2" from the
center of the push beam to level ground. DO NOT
exceed 14" in height for any undercarriage.
1.
Begin the assembly by removing the four nuts from the FRONT BUMPER
MOUNT. Remove the bumper.
2.
Position the DRIVER’S SIDE HANGER PLATE on the outside of the truck
frame rail. Attach one 5/8"-11 x 1-3/4" bolt through the front mount on
the hanger plate and truck frame rail. Secure the bolt with one 5/8" washer
and top lock nut on the inside of the frame rail.
Note: Use the opening at
the end of the frame rail to access the nut and washer.
3.
Position one 5/8"-11 x 3-1/4" bolt through the rear mount on the hanger
plate and truck frame rail. Secure the bolt with one 5/8" washer and top
lock nut on the inside of the frame rail.
Note: Use an original opening
cut into the frame rail behind the mounting hole to position the nut and
washer.
4.
Position one 5/8"-11 x 2-3/4" bolt through the middle mount on the hanger
plate and truck frame rail. Secure the bolt with one 5/8" washer and top
lock nut on the inside of the frame rail.
Note: Use an original opening on
the inside of the truck frame rail opposite of the mount to position the nut
and washer.
5.
Repeat all three procedures above to securely mount the PASSENGER’S
SIDE HANGER PLATE.
6.
Mount the PUSH BEAM to each hanger plate using four 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2"
bolts and top lock nuts.
Note: The proper height for the push beam is
approximately 12-1/2" from the ground to the center of the beam.
7.
Once all of the undercarriage plates have been positioned and the proper
push beam height is set, proceed to tighten all top lock nuts. Reference
the chart on page 4 for maximum bolt torque.
8.
Position the LIGHT TOWER into the accepting pockets on the push beam
and tighten using two 1/2"-13 x 1-1/4" bolts with washers. Secure each
bolt with a 1/2" top lock nut. Mount each PLOW HEADLIGHT to the light
tower with the hardware kit provided.
Complete the assembly by plugging the connectors from the lights into the
connectors on the vehicle wire harness.
