Universal Mount Assembly
TO ENSURE PROPER ASSEMBLY, CAREFULLY
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW
1. Lay out the hardware under the UTV, as shown on the previous page. If needed, for
clearance, raise the front of the UTV. 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 20092 (7) to each Mounting Bracket using Clevis Pin NB244 (6) and Hair
Pin NB247 (19).
4. Attach Slide Extension 20097 (27) to the UTV ball hitch mount with 3/4-10 X 7½ Bolt NB655
or 3/4-10 X 5 Bolt NB243 (30, 31) and 3/4-10 Nyloc Nut NB609 (24). Spacers 2655 and
9609 (28, 29) need to be installed to keep the Universal Mount assembly level and for
clearance.
5. Insert Tube Extension 20098 (26) into Slide Extension 20097 (27) and loosely fasten using
½-13 X 3 Bolt NB131 (22), ½ Washer NB177 (23) and ½-13 Nyloc Nut NB281 (25).
6. Insert the other end of Tube Extension 20098 (26) into Slide Bar Weldment 20086 (17).
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 UTV. The holes
in parts 20097 (27), 20098 (26) and 20086 (17) will allow for this adjustment. Loosely fasten
using ½-13 X 3 Bolt NB131 (22), ½ Washer NB177 (23) and ½-13 Nyloc Nut NB281 (25).
7. If previously raised, carefully lower the UTV to the ground.
8. Place the two Leaf Springs (7), from step 3 and the assembly from step 6 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.
9. Check the clearance between the Mounting Brackets and the UTV wheel rims by turning the
UTV 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 6 then
securely tighten all fasteners starting with the four Bolts (1) listed in step 8.
10. Secure the Leaf Springs (7) using Short Spring Shackle Plate 20219 (20), 5/16-18 X 1¼ Bolt
10217 (21) and 5/16-18 Nyloc Jam Nut 11158 (5) as shown.

NOTE: The CV guards on your UTV 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.

Remove Hair Pins NB247 (19), pull Clevis Pins NB244 (6) and remove Bolt NB655
or NB243 (30, 31) from the UTV ball hitch mount. If possible, leave the
