Blizzard B32221 Installation Instructions Manual page 6

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 bumper. Remove skid plates and fog
lights, if applicable.
2. Position each hanger plate (Item 6 & 7) on the
bottom of each side of the frame between the
body mounts and suspension.
NOTE: The area between these components
is larger than the flat on the top of the hanger
plate, and the hanger plate needs to be butted
up against the body mount brackets for the light
tower to clear the bumper.
The outside of the hanger plate should be
positioned up alongside the side of the frame. The
top flat on the hanger plate should be flush with
the bottom of the frame.
CAUTION
Use caution not to pinch, cut or drill through any
wires or hoses running along the frame rails.
3. Once in position, mark the holes in the frame with
the hanger plate as a template in the center of the
flat on the bottom of the frame. Drill holes for the
5/8" cap screws with a 11/16" bit.

washers (Item 13). Cut the nutplate handle so it is
