• Remove the browning shield as shown.

STEP 3: (SEE FIGURE 4)

• Place plug on a work bench or solid table and push end of bumper down onto plug. Repeat for all plugs.

STEP 4: (SEE FIGURE 5)

• Insert a carriage bolt into the second mounting hole from the front of the tractor frame and fully tighten a whiziock nut onto the bolt. Repeat on other side of tractor.

STEP 5: (SEE FIGURE 6)

• Spread ends of bumper enough to fit slots onto bolts in rear mounting holes in tractor frame.
