Installation Notes
The universal mounting plate has been designed to easily attach to most ATV frames.
The mounting bracket attaches to the frame of your ATV which must not be dented, bent, collapsed or rusted. Secure mounting
is necessary for safe and successful use of the TreeChopper.
The TreeChopper should only be installed on ATVs that are 400cc or more and have 4-wheel drive.
Always keep all guards and shields in place when the TreeChopper is not in use. This includes during assembly and while
attaching or detaching the TreeChopper to your ATV.
Proper installation of the mounting bracket onto the frame of your ATV is necessary for safe and successful use of the
TreeChopper. The mounting bracket must be securely affixed to the frame of the ATV. If mounting to the frame and skid plate,
the skid plate must be constructed of heavy metal. Do not attach to a plastic skid plate.
If the metal skid plate is not flat and causes the Mounting Bracket and Cross Brace to not be flat against the frame, you cannot
safely mount to your ATV. It is very important to make sure the mounting bracket fits securely to the frame of the ATV
Always install the Blade Guard when the TreeChopper is not in use.
