The mounting procedure outlined below covers CHEVROLET (1988 – 2000), and 1 ton trucks. You will need to refer to the illustrations and familiarize yourself with each of the undercarriage components and their relative position to each other. Then proceed as follows:
1. Position the PUSH BEAM SUPPORT PLATES (Ref. 62A and 62B, Fig. 1) to the front frame rails of the truck. If the truck is equipped with tow hooks, remove the tow hook bolts, and tow hook before installing the PUSH BEAM SUPORT PALTES. Using M14 x 2.00 Hex Head Bolts and M14 Lock Washers provided, bolt the PUSH BEAM SUPPORT PLATES through the outside of the frame. Next use ―” – 13 x 1- ―” Hex Head Bolts, ―” Flat Washers, and ―” – 13 Hex Head Self Locking Nuts to bolt the PUSH BEAM SUPPORT PLATES through the bottom of the frame. Tow hooks may be relocated under the PUSH BEAM SUPPORT PLATES and reattached. Fasteners should only be finger tight.
2. Remove the four existing bolts holding the skid plate in place on the vehicle. Use the same four hex head bolts to mount the ANGLE BRACKET (Ref. 75, Fig. 1) into place on the outside of the skid plate. Bolts should only be finger tight.
3. Bolt the PUSH BEAM (Ref. 62, Fig. 1) in place using the ―” – 13 x 1- ―” hex head bolts and self locking nuts provided. Fasteners should only be finger tight. NOTE: the proper height adjustment for the PUSH BEAM is approximately 12- ―” for the 7’6” V or 13- ―” for the 8’2” V and 9’2” V, from the ground to the center of the PUSH BEAM MOUNTING ROD (SEE Fig. 2). Should the PUSH BEAM ASSEMBLY be mounted too high, the nose of the plow will tend to dig in while plowing. If the PUSH BEAM ASSEMBLY is mounted too low the wings of the plow will not lay flat against the ground. This will be most apparent when plowing in the scoop position.
4. With all undercarriage parts in place, securely fasten all mounting hardware. It is important that all fasteners be properly torqued (see Fig. 3) to assure a safe operating plow. All fasteners should be retorqued after the first 5 hours of plowing.
