Place the driver-side mounting bracket into the driver-side connecting arm as shown. 2. Put a 1/2" fl at washer onto a 1/2" x 4" cap screw, then insert the cap screw through the holes in the driver-side mounting bracket and the connecting arm. Put another 1/2" fl at washer over the end of the cap screw. Place a 1/2" locknut on the cap screw and hand tighten. Leave the 1/2" fasteners loose enough to allow for future adjustment. Repeat for the passenger's side. NOTE: The center-to-center measurement for the snowplow connecting arms should be approximately 29-1/8". If the distance is less than that, you may have to insert 1/2" fl at washers to eliminate the gap between the connecting arms and the ProTube™ brackets. 3.
