    ASSEMBLY TIP: Use a floor jack or block of wood to support the back of the plow hitch.

  • Attach the plow hitch to the frame using the top brackets and (6) 3/8” X 2-3/4” carriage bolts and (6) 3/8” nuts provided with the kit.

NOTE: Note the orientation of the back brackets.

  • Be sure the tab is facing the correct direction (One will face left and the other will face right) so the hitch is centered in the frame.

  • After the hitch is tightened to the frame adjust the exhaust shield so it rests in the grooves of the plow hitch.

STEP TWO

  • Remove the existing (2) bolts from the gas tank support.
  • Attach the control valve assembly to the side of the upright using (2) 3/8 X 1” carriage bolts provided with the kit and reuse the nuts that were removed.
