1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIERRA GRILLE GUARD KIT # ON FORD F-150, F-250 4X4 LIGHT DUTY & EXPEDITION 4X4 NOTICE Ramsey kits are designed for use with Ramsey Winches only. Use or sales of kits for other winches or applications voids warranty. WARNING Ramsey offers mounting kits and winches for various vehicles. In crash tests on a limited number of automotive manufacturer's vehicles, winches/mounting kits, which have been properly mounted, have not interfered with air bag operation. The user/customer, or their installer, must verify that the mounting kit does not interfere with the factory air bag sensors, which must not be relocated or modified in any way. The user/customer should follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations and those of a qualified mechanic to determine if the winch/mounting kit might interfere with the air bag operation. The user/customer should then determine the suitability of a winch/mounting kit on a particular vehicle. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE'S AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IF THE WINCH/MOUNTING KIT IS NOT MOUNTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS. DO NOT ATTACH TOW HOOK TO ANY PART OF MOUNTING KIT UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ATTACHING HARDWARE ITEMS (BOLTS, NUTS, OR WASHERS). READ AND UNDERSTAND WINCH OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF WINCH. SEE WARNING AND CAUTION. IMPORTANT NOTES! 1. RIGHT AND LEFT HAND DIRECTIONS AS IF SEATED BEHIND STEERING WHEEL. 2. ALL FASTENING HARDWARE MUST BE LOOSELY ASSEMBLED UNTIL DIRECTED TO TIGHTEN. RAMSEY WINCH COMPANY P.O. BOX TULSA, OKLAHOMA 74158
