Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure proper use and safety.

Safety Information

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation and operation, including safety glasses and gloves.
  • Ensure the ATV is stable and turned off with the parking brake engaged before beginning any installation or maintenance.
  • Do not exceed the weight capacity of your ATV or the plow system.
  • Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts during operation.
  • Regularly inspect all components for wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Replace damaged parts immediately.
  • Refer to your ATV's owner's manual for additional safety guidelines.

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation. The WARN 91810 kit includes the following:

  • Universal Plow Mount Frame
  • Mounting Hardware (bolts, nuts, washers, U-bolts)

Setup and Installation

Installation of the WARN 91810 plow mount requires basic mechanical skills and tools. Follow these steps carefully:

  1. Prepare the ATV: Park the ATV on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Allow the engine and exhaust to cool.
  2. Clearance Check: Ensure there is adequate clearance under the ATV for the plow mount. The low-profile design minimizes clearance issues, but verification is recommended.
  3. Position the Mount: Place the universal plow mount frame under the ATV's chassis, aligning it with suitable mounting points. The center mounting position is crucial for optimal plow performance.
  4. Secure Front Attachment: Attach the front of the plow mount to the ATV frame using the provided hardware. This may involve clamping or bolting to existing frame members.
  5. Secure Rear Attachment: Secure the rear of the plow mount. This often involves using U-bolts around the ATV's frame or drilling through the skid plate for a secure fit. If your ATV has a thick or complex skid plate, you may need to drill holes. Some users have found that longer U-bolts than those supplied may be necessary for certain ATV models, especially if retaining factory skid plates.
  6. Tighten All Fasteners: Once the mount is correctly positioned and all hardware is in place, progressively tighten all bolts and nuts to the manufacturer's specified torque values. Do not overtighten.
  7. Final Inspection: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and that the mount is stable. Verify that the mount does not interfere with any critical ATV components or controls.

Operating Instructions

Once the WARN 91810 plow mount is securely installed and a compatible plow system (sold separately) is attached, follow these general operating guidelines:

  • Plow Attachment: Connect your WARN ProVantage or Standard Plow push tube to the center mount. Ensure all pins and fasteners are securely engaged.
  • Plow Angle and Height: Adjust the plow blade's angle and height according to the snow conditions and terrain. Refer to your plow blade's specific instructions for adjustment procedures.
  • Safe Operation: Operate your ATV at a safe speed, especially when plowing. Avoid sudden stops or turns that could damage the plow system or cause loss of control.
  • Obstacle Awareness: Be aware of obstacles hidden under the snow. Striking solid objects can cause damage to the plow, mount, or ATV.
  • Post-Plowing: After plowing, raise the plow blade to its transport position before driving the ATV.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your WARN 91810 plow mount:

  • Inspect Fasteners: Before each use, check all bolts, nuts, and U-bolts for tightness. Retighten as necessary.
  • Check for Damage: Inspect the mount frame for any signs of bending, cracks, or corrosion. Replace any damaged components.
  • Clean the Mount: After use, especially in corrosive environments (e.g., salt-treated roads), clean the mount with water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
  • Lubrication: If any pivot points or moving parts are present on your plow system (not the mount itself), lubricate them according to the plow manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the plow mount in a dry environment to protect it from the elements.
