Installation 1. Remove the components shown in the drawing below. The plow wear bar will be installed on the front edge of the bucket unless a new wear bar was purchased for this application. Keep all other parts and hardware together so they can be installed to convert back to plow.
PAGE 7
Installation continued 2. Measure to locate the center of the ProVantage plow blade horizontal rib (Figure 3). This should be about 9.2” (233mm) from either side. (Some plow blades may already have this hole.) 3. Position the upper latch bracket on the horizontal blade rib to mark the vertical position of the hole (Figure 4). Figure 3 Drill the hole in the center of the blade rib in the location marked.
PAGE 8
Installation continued 5. Install the main section of the bucket (Figure 6). The edge with larger bend will be secured to the blade in the area the wear bar was removed from. Install M10x25mm carriage bolts (previously removed) loosely until all parts of the bucket have been attached to the plow. 6. Install both right and left sections of bucket (Figure 7). Secure the side sections of the bucket to the main section with 3/8” button head bolts.
PAGE 9
Installation continued 8. Make sure the bucket is set in the straight position to the tube assembly. Install the latch mounting bracket (Figure 9). This bracket will be used in place of the plow latch and will prevent rotation of the bucket. Use the 5/16” x 3/4” bolt with washer in this kit and the M10 shoulder bolt from the plow to secure the bracket. Install 5/16” x 3/4” socket head screw, as shown in Figure 9. Torque all fasteners at this time. Figure 9 9.
PAGE 10
Installation continued 11. Install the pulley mounting bracket (Figure 13). This bracket must be installed on the right side of the plow as shown. Remove the two plow base bolts as shown in Figure 12. NOTE: The pulley mount contains two L brackets. The L-bracket with longer leg fits under shorter L-bracket. Figure 12 13. Position shorter L-bracket over longer bracket. Secure the brackets to tube assembly with longer M10 flange head bolts provided in this kit.
PAGE 11
Installation continued 15. Install bucket on vehicle. Slide bucket to the vehicle or have second person help carry it to vehicle. Attach bucket to plow mount. Secure bucket to mount with pins Make sure pins are secure to mount and will not come out. 16. Route the winch rope through the pulley assembly on plow (Figure 15). NOTE: A roller fairlead is required for this application. The use of a plow roller fairlead (large roller) and a short synthetic rope is highly recommended. Figure 15 17.
PAGE 12
Installation continued 19. Install T-handle retaining cord. This elastic cord is intended to hold the T-handle near the eye-bolt used to hold handle. Loop the cord around a tube or object in “chocker” style, Figure 18. Insert the pull cord and the barbed end of the elastic cord into the pull handle. Tie the pull cord to the retaining bar. Figure 19. Re-install or adjust length by coiling so there is only light cord tension. Figure 18 20.
PAGE 13
Converting Back to Plow 1. The bucket may be converted back to a plow by removing some of the bucket components. See the exploded view drawing below for the components that will be removed. The Upper latch bracket on the back of the blade and the pulley bracket attached to the tube assembly may be left in place while plowing. Figure 21 Figure 22 The main section of the bucket and the sides may remain bolted together during storage. Disassemble as needed for easy storage.

OPERATOR’S GUIDE This bucket conversion kit has been designed to convert a WARN ProVantage plow into a light duty bucket or scoop. The maximum capacity of this bucket is 200 lb. (91 Kg). The actual capacity limit may be lower depending on the vehicle that this product is used on and the equipment that has been installed on it. Below is a table of common materials that may be moved with this bucket and the estimated volume that can be carried in the bucket.
PAGE 15
The vehicle may need to be backed away from the load a very short distance to allow the winch to lift the material and bucket. Look into the bucket to see how much material is in the bucket. Reduce the loading speed if needed to reduce the amount of material in the bucket. Never exceed the 5 mph speed limit to increase the amount of material in the bucket. Additional material may be shoveled into the bucket if the volume removed from the pile is below the weight capacity of the bucket.
PAGE 16
Maintenance/Care • Inspect all metal parts on the plow, plow mount, actuator, and related hardware. Replace all parts that appears rusted or deformed prior to use. • Inspect all nuts and bolts on the plow, plow mount, actuator, and related hardware prior to each use. Tighten all nuts and bolts that appear to be loose. Stripped, fractured, or bent bolts or nuts need to be replaced. • Check all cables or straps prior to use. Replace cables or straps that are worn or frayed.
PAGE 17
Vehicle The vehicle suspension settings will need to be adjusted to support the additional weight. Start by inflating the front tires to about 10psi. The next adjustment will be to increase the front spring setting. Use the required tools to increase the front springs to maximum setting. A front suspension upgrade is recommended if the vehicle does not have adjustable front suspension and the front springs are not strong enough to support extra weight from bucket.
