The mounting procedure outlined below covers 1992 – 1996 FORD F150 trucks. You will need to refer to the illustrations and familiarize yourself with each of the undercarriage components and their relative position to each other. Then proceed as follows:
1. Remove the front bumper. If the truck is equipped with a front stabilizer bar, remove the stabilizer frame mounts, allowing the stabilizer bar to hang freely. The stabilizer bar will be reattached later. Position the push beam support plates (Ref. 62A and 62B, Fig. 1) to the front frame rails of the truck. Using the 1―”- 13 x 1- ―” bolts, ―” self locking nuts, and ―” flat washers provided, bolt the PUSH BEAM SUPPORT PLATES in place (see Fig. 1). Fasteners should only be finger tight.
2. Bolt the PUSH BEAM (Ref. 62, Fig. 1) in place as shown using ―” – 13 x 1- ―” hex head bolts and self locking nuts provided.
NOTE: The proper height adjustment for the PUSH BEAM is approximately 15- ―” from the ground to the center of the PUSH BEAM pin receiving hole (see Fig. 2).
3. Attach the RIGHT FRAME MOUNT (Ref. 75A, Fig. 1) and the LEFT FRAME MOUNT (Ref. 75B, Fig. 1) to the vehicle frame using 5/8” – 11 x 2” hex head bolt and NUT PLATES (Ref. 99R and 99L, Fig. 1). Fasteners should only be finger tight. Bend the remaining portion of the nut plates around the frame horn.
4. If the vehicle was equipped with a front stabilizer bar, rotate the stabilizer bar up into position. Attach the ANGLE BRACKET ASSEMBLY to the LEFT and RIGHT FRAME MOUNTS and STABILIZER BAR MOUNTING PLATES using 5/8” – 11 x 2” hex head bolts, self locking nuts, and 5/8” flat washers provided. Attach the ANGLE BRACKET ASSEMBLY to the PUSH BEAM using four ―” – 13 x 1- ―” hex head bolts and self locking nuts provided. If the vehicle was equipped with a front stabilizer, use the 3/8” – 16 x 1- ―” hex head bolts and 3/8” self locking nuts provided to reattach the bar to the STABILIZER MOUNTING PLATES.
5. Install the Front Bumper.
6. With all undercarriage parts in place, securely fasten all mounting hardware. It is important that all fasteners be properly torqued to assure a safe operating plow. See Figure 3 for recommended assembly torque.
