Warning

The engine can become very hot. Touching a hot engine can cause severe burns.

Allow the engine to cool completely before service or making repairs around the engine area.

1. Secure the mount assembly to the side rear guard using 1 carriage bolt (1/4 x 1 inch) and 1 nut (1/4 inch) as shown in Figure 3 or Figure 4.

2. Secure the bottom of the main bracket to the lower side rear guard using 2 bolts (5/16 x 3 inches) and 2 nuts (5/16 inch) as shown in Figure 3 or Figure 4.

   Note: Remove the 2 bolts securing the engine guard to make room for the mounting bracket.
