  • Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely.
  • Keep the operating speed LOW!!!!! Do not operate over 5 MPH (8 KPH).
  • Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with these instructions to operate this machine. Never allow children to operate this machine.

UNIVERSAL MOUNT PARTS DETAIL

MOUNTING OPTIONS
There are four different mounting bracket options provided for mounting to various front axle styles. Long Brackets 2632 and 2634 (13, 15) and Short Brackets 2633 and 2635 (7, 12) are two sets that will work on most ATVs. The determining factor is what type of A-arms (lower portion of the front axle) are used on your ATV. The Long Brackets are shown as an example at the bottom of this page (See Fig. 1). For some Honda models, using UShaped Bracket 2677 (14) in tandem with Long Brackets 2632 and 2634 (13, 15) may be necessary (See Fig. 2). Some vehicles are best suited for the Center Bolt Left & Right Brackets 2638, 2637 and 2641 (9, 10).
Note: These brackets are right and left oriented.
There are two different sizes of Bolts provided for attaching the Universal Mount to the rear ball hitch mount of the vehicle: 3/4-10 X 7½ Bolt NB655 and 3/4-10 X 5 Bolt NB243 (27, 28).

TO ENSURE PROPER ASSEMBLY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW

Universal Mount Assembly

  1. Lay out the hardware under the ATV, as shown on the previous page. If needed, for clearance, raise the front of the ATV. Make sure the support used is very stable; do not rely on hydraulic jacks.
  2. Loosely attach the Mounting Brackets best suited for your vehicle to the lower A-arms as near as possible to the inside of the wheel. See the example at the bottom of page 4. Do not securely tighten at this time.
  3. Attach Leaf Spring 2596 (6) to each Mounting Bracket using Clevis Pin NB244 (5) and Hair Pin NB247 (19).
  4. Attach Channel Mount 2630 (24) to the ATV ball hitch mount with 3/4-10 X 7½ Bolt NB655 or 3/4-10 X 5 Bolt NB243 (27, 28) and 3/4-10 Nyloc Nut NB609 (23). Spacers 2655 and 9609 (25, 26) need to be installed to keep the Universal Mount assembly level and for clearance.
  5. Insert Slide Bar Weldment 20086 (17) into Channel Mount 2630 (24). Adjust the Slide Bar Weldment (17) so the accessory mounting holes are approximately 2″ ahead of the front wheels. Some adjustment may be needed after the Blade attachment is installed to ensure acceptable clearance between the attachment and the ATV. The slots in part 2630 (24) and the holes in part 20086 (17) will allow for this adjustment. Loosely fasten using ½-13 X 3½ Bolt NB577 (20), ½ Washer NB177 (21) and ½-13 Nyloc Nut NB281 (22).
  6. If previously raised, carefully lower the ATV to the ground.
  7. Place the two Leaf Springs (6), from step 3 and the assembly from step 5 between the Spring Shackles 2631 (3). Loosely fasten with 3/8-16 X 4 Bolt NB645 (1), 3/8 Washer NB272 (2) and 3/8-16 Nyloc Nut NB182 (4) as shown.
  8. Check the clearance between the Mounting Brackets and the ATV wheel rims by turning the ATV steering to the extreme right and then the extreme left. Adjust the location of the brackets if necessary. Make any necessary adjustments as described in step 5 then securely tighten all fasteners starting with the four Bolts (1) listed in step 7.

Removal of the Mount Assembly
Remove Hair Pins NB247 (19), pull Clevis Pins NB244 (5) and remove Bolt NB655 or NB243 (27, 28) from the ATV ball hitch mount. If possible, leave the mounting brackets attached to the A-Arms.
SWISHER Commercial Pro ATV Universal - Overview3 NOTE: The CV guards on your ATV may need to be trimmed or otherwise modified to allow for installation and proper clearance for the Accessory Mount. Check with the vehicle mfg prior to making modifications as such modifications could void the mfg warranty.
