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 and retain the fasteners. If there is a plastic attachment below the radiator, remove it and retain those fasteners as well.
2. Hold the front mount so the holes on the mount’s side tabs line up with the slots in the frame. Insert a 1/2″ cap screw with handle into the truck frame. Place a washer onto the cap screw, then insert the cap screw out through the side frame slot and the front mount. Place a 1/2″ locknut on the cap screw and hand tighten. Repeat on the other side.
3. Insert a 1/2″ cap screw with handle into the truck frame. Place a washer onto the cap screw, then insert the cap screw down through the bottom frame slot and the front mount. Place a washer and 1/2″ locknut on the cap screw and hand tighten. Repeat on other side.
4. Push the front mount as far back as it will go, and tighten all four fasteners.
5. Using 1/2″ pins (located with the receivers in the plow gear kit), attach the receivers to the front mount, then attach the rear mount to the receivers. Push the rear mount up against the frame so that each side contacts the bottom of the frame in two places.
6. Clamp the rear mount to the frame.
7. Before drilling any holes, verify that the rear mount is in the correct location by making sure the receiver pins can be removed easily. Also, the bottom of the receivers should be parallel to the ground. Readjust if necessary.
8. Using the holes in the rear mount as guides, drill four 17/32″ holes through the truck frame.
9. Insert a 1/2″ cap screw with handle into the truck frame, then place a washer onto the cap screw. Insert the cap screw out through one of the holes in the rear mount. Repeat for the other three holes. Place 1/2″ locknuts on all four cap screws and tighten.
