Before You Begin
This kit also requires a plow tube base kit, a WARN specific vehicle plow mount, and lift mechanism such as a
winch, electric actuator, or universal manual lift. See your local dealer for part numbers and available kits.
Please note that the larger blades are very heavy and for some people may be too tiresome to lift with a manual
lift. Older plow tube base kits come with a set of skids and plow springs that will not be used in the installation
of this kit. Instead, use the skids and springs provided with the blade kit. Additionally, older plow base kits may
come with english units fasteners rather than the metric fasterners as described in these instructions. The kits
are compatible. Simply use the following guidelines; 8mm = 5/16", 10mm = 3/8", and 12mm = 1/2". A list of
replacement parts, such as skids and wear bars, can be found on the last page of this document.
