| Bolt (1/4 x 4-1/4 inches) | 1 |
Assemble the kit as shown in Figure 1. Do not overtighten the bolt (1/4 x 4-1/4 inches) and nut (1/4 inch); the hinge bracket must pivot freely.

Mounting Locations
You can mount this kit in 2 locations on the machine (Figure 2). Refer to the following procedures to mount the kit in the desired location.
Mounting the Kit to the Side of the Engine Guard
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.
-
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.
-
Secure the bottom of the main bracket to the engine 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 lower side rear guard to make room for the mounting bracket.
Important: If you are mounting to the right side on a Z Master 4000, remove the existing bolt that secures the expansion tank to the frame. Discard this bolt and use the kit hardware to secure the bracket to the frame.
Installing a Front-Weight Kit
Parts needed for this procedure:
| Front-weight kit (sold separately) | 1 |
If 2 accessory-mount kits (i.e., bucket kit or universal mount kit) are added to both of the mounting locations shown in Figure 5, add a front-weight kit. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer for the front-weight kit.
