INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: For easier assembly and installation,
vehicle and all snowplow components should be
on a smooth, level, hard surface, such as concrete.
1. Remove the frame brackets from the sway bar
and discard the fasteners. Inspect the two forward
bumper bracket bolt-on clips. They must point out
from the vehicle centerline. If they are pointing
toward the centerline, remove and reinstall in the
proper orientation by loosely fastening the top nut
only (see illustration).
Reuse bumper
bracket bolt-on clips
on both sides.
If the bolt-on clips are pointing out from centerline,
remove the lower nut and loosen the upper.
Remove and save the remaining bumper bracket
fastener located to the rear of the bolt-on clip
fasteners. On 1500 model trucks the ground wire
tap screw interferes with the driver-side mount.
Remove and relocate the tap screw.
2. Hang the driver-side mount by the hole in the front
of the hanger on the lower bolt in the front bumper
bracket. Loosely secure with original nut. Do not
tighten any fasteners until instructed to do so.
Swing the mount into place.
