V. MAINTENANCE/CARE
•
Inspect all metal parts on the plow, plow mount, and related hardware. Replace all parts that appears rusted or
deformed prior to use.
•
Inspect all nuts and bolts on the plow, plow mount, and related hardware prior to each use. Tighten all nuts and
bolts that appear to be loose. Stripped, fractured, or bent bolts or nuts need to be replaced immediately.
•
Check all cables prior to use. Replace cables that are worn or frayed.
•
Check all moving and rotating parts. Remove debris that may inhibit the part from moving freely.

Place the plow mount under the vehicle such that the
tabs fit around the frame cross bar that the lower skid
pan bolts thread into. Secure with two M8x20mm
capscrews supplied and a 13mm socket (Figure 11).
Do not tighten these.
Note: It may be necessary to line one side up first,
applying inward pressure on the skid plate
mounting tabs to fit in between the plow mount tabs
and around the cross tubing.
10. Secure the plow mount to the winch mount. Use a
16mm socket with two M10x25mm bolts with 3/16"
flat washers (Figure 12). Do not tighten all the way.
Note: It may be necessary to rotate the winch
mount upward for the mounting holes to line up
with the plow mount holes. Make sure the lower
M8x20mm bolts are not tight, as it will make this
step difficult.
11. Tighten the two lower M8x20mm bolts to 20 N-m
(15 ft-lbs). Tighten the two plow mount to winch
mount M10x25mm bolts to 25 N-m (18.5 ft-lbs).
Tighten the four winch mount to frame bolts to 20 N-
m (15 ft-lbs).
12. Finally install the plow mounting tab to your Plow
Tube Assembly, see Figure 13. Install these loosely
on the plow with the fasteners provided with the
plow. Tighten the fasteners after the plow is
assembled and installed in the mount according to the
plow assembly instructions.
