Gen 4/5/Lynx SP Front Bumper Install

1. Remove hood

2. Remove pipe from snowmobile. This will help when removing the stock bumper. You do not have to remove the exhaust can.

3. Gen5: To remove the stock bumper and install the new bumper remove the upper grill. Two screws hold it on from the inside. Once the grill is removed you can unclip the upper section of nose cone for ease of removal and installation.

4. Drill out the 4 rivets attaching the nose cone to the bumper. Remove the stock bumper bolts and remove the bumper and discard. YOU WON'T NEED THAT ANYMORE.

5. Backwoods new front bumper mounting location requires you to drill 3/16” holes at the intended location. Before attempting bumper install please review photos below for mounting bracket install. If you click the photos there is a description to follow. Once mounting brackets are loosely installed, with nuts on the inside, please continue with the following. The bolts are stainless steel and under extreme stress can break or strip out, make sure to not over tighten.

6. Place your Backwoods bumper into position. When inserting the bumper you must insert one side and then the other, not both at the same time.

7. Loose fit upper mounts using the bolts.

8. Align the bumper to the skid plate. Drill 1/4" holes first in the two outer holes. Install backers on the inside of the skid plate and secure with bolts and then do the other two inner locations as well. 

9. Secure main upper mounting bolts.

10. At locations where stock rivets held bumper on, drill 3/16” holes to be used to secure bumper to nose cones with provided rivets. 

 

Temp Sensor Install

1. Using the provided nut, attach the temp sensor mounting bracket to the existing bumper mount bracket. Make sure to snug up but not over tighten. 

2. Cut the small stud of the sensor bracket and spin bracket into the nut for easy installation. ​​​
