C. INSTALLATION
1. Attach the J-bolt bracket (A1) to the center hole in
the plow crossmember using a 3/8" dia x 1" long
bolt (C1) as shown in figure 1. The bracket
should be mounted on the blade side of the
crossmember with the side flanges parallel to the
ground. Terminate the bolt with a 3/8" dia flat
washer (C2) and 3/8" dia nylock nut (C3). Tighten
the bolt and nut to a recommended torque of 20
ft-lb (28 N-m).
2. Run the winch cable over the roller fairlead and
down to the J-bolt bracket (A1). Using a 1/4" dia
J-bolt (B1), hook the loop on the end of the winch
cable and slide the threaded end of the J-bolt
through the round holes in the J-bolt bracket. The
hook end of the J-bolt should slide into the slotted
hole in the J-bolt bracket. Terminate the end of
the J-bolt with a 1/4" dia flat washer (B2) and 1/4"
dia nylock nut (B3). Tighten the nut until the
winch cable is snug inside the J-bolt as shown in
figure 2.
NOTE: Do not remove the winch hook installed on the
end of the winch cable, simply slide it out of
the way.
CAUTION
Moving Parts Entanglement Hazard
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to
minor or moderate injury.
The purpose of the J-bolt is to break the
connection between the plow and ATV when the
plow is subjected to high forces that could damage
the plow or vehicle. The plow will drop instantly if
the J-bolt breaks, so be sure there are no
bystanders when operating the plow. Instances
when the J-bolt might break are:
• If the plow is raised too high and stalls.
• If the operator is trying to lift too much material
with the plow blade.
In general, do not raise the top of the plow blade
above the headlights of the vehicle. If the plow
stalls, stop the winch immediately and lower the
plow. After pushing material with the plow, backup
the ATV prior to raising it. If the J-bolt breaks,
replace it with the spare hardware found in this kit.
Read the Plow Operators Guide for more
information.
Read installation and operating instructions
thoroughly.
Installation is now complete. Proceed to the next
section entitle Maintenance/Care.
