Setup u Installazzjoni

The WARN 80558 Front Plow Mount is designed for front-of-vehicle installation, eliminating the need to crawl under the ATV. Installation typically involves attaching the mount to the ATV's frame and bumper structure. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your ATV model.

Għodod Meħtieġa

• Socket Wrench Set (10mm, 12mm, 13mm sockets)
• Extension Bar (3-4 inch recommended)
• Wrench ta '13mm
• Tornavit bir-ras ċatta
• Torque Wrench (for final tightening)

Passi ta' Installazzjoni (Gwida Ġenerali)

1. Prepare the ATV: Park the ATV on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. For easier access, consider temporarily removing accessories from the front rack and winch if present.
2. Remove Skid Plate: Locate and remove the lower plastic skid plate. This typically involves two plastic pins and two 10mm bolts. Note how the skid plate's tongue fits into the next plate underneath for reinstallation.
3. Loosen Bumper Bolts: Remove the bottom four bolts connecting the bumper to the frame. You will reuse two of these and replace the other two with longer bolts from the kit. Loosen, but do not remove, the two bolts at the top of the bumper that attach to the front rack.
4. Access Bumper Area: Gently pop off the plastic top front brush guard to access the top bumper bolts. Pull the brush guard back enough to insert your socket. Tilt the front bumper/rack assembly outwards, creating an opening.
5. Position Plow Mount: Carefully slide the WARN 80558 plow mount into the opening you created. Align the mount with the existing bolt holes on the ATV's frame and the flange that holds the winch mount plate (if applicable).
6. Install Bolts and Spacers: Insert the appropriate bolts, washers, and spacers. Start all bolts hand-tight before fully tightening any. This allows for minor adjustments to align all holes. Two spacers are typically placed between the mount and the bumper where the original bumper bolts are replaced with longer ones. This step may require some manipulation to get threads started.
7. Issikka l-Qfieli kollha: Once all bolts are in place and aligned, progressively tighten them to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. Ensure all connections are secure.
8. Erġa' installa l-Komponenti: Reinstall the plastic top front brush guard and the lower plastic skid plate.
9. Kontroll Finali: Verify that the mount is securely attached and that there is no interference with other ATV components.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The WARN 80558 mount facilitates quick attachment and detachment of compatible WARN ProVantage plow systems.

Attaching the Plow

1. Position the plow assembly (push tubes) in front of the ATV, aligning it with the front plow mount.
2. Slide the plow's push tubes into the receiving channels of the front mount. The self-locating pin design assists with alignment.
3. Secure the plow assembly to the mount using the quick-attach pins provided with your plow system. Ensure pins are fully engaged and secured.
4. Connect any necessary winch cables or lift mechanisms to the plow.

Detaching the Plow

1. Lower the plow to the ground.
2. Disconnect any winch cables or lift mechanisms.
3. Remove the quick-attach pins securing the plow assembly to the front mount.
4. Pull the plow assembly away from the ATV.

The mount can remain on the ATV during non-plowing seasons without reducing ground clearance.

Manutenzjoni

• Spezzjoni regolari: Periodically inspect the plow mount for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, especially after heavy use.
• Iċċekkja tal-Qafliet: Ensure all bolts and fasteners remain tight. Re-torque if necessary according to your ATV's specifications or general torque guidelines for similar fasteners.
• Tindif: Clean the mount with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Lubrikazzjoni: Apply a light coat of grease or rust preventative to any pivot points or areas prone to friction, if applicable.
• Ħażna: If removing the mount for extended periods, store it in a dry location to prevent corrosion.

Issolvi l-problemi

• Difficulty Aligning Mount: If bolt holes do not align easily during installation, ensure all other bolts are only hand-tight. Slight adjustments to the bumper or frame components may be necessary. Do not force bolts; re-check alignment.
• Plow Not Attaching Smoothly: Check for debris in the receiving channels of the mount or on the plow's push tubes. Ensure the quick-attach pins are not bent or damaged. Clean components as needed.
• Excessive Play in Plow: Verify that all quick-attach pins are fully engaged and secured. Inspect the mount and plow for any loose or worn components. Tighten fasteners or replace worn parts.
