STEP ONE

  • Set the plow hitch in the frame by resting the front of the plow hitch on top of the frame rail and the back of the hitch will attach to the bottom of the frame rail.
    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.

NOTE

  • If your machine is equipped with an “all liquid” tank and is the Steel Green current design (pictured below). You can move the valve assembly to the other side of the upright.
  • If your machine is equipped with the old valve design, you can purchase the updated brackets.
