Installing the Flighting Shield
1. Assemble the shield pivot bracket (97) to the flighting shield assembly (84) using four 3/8" x 1-1/4"
flange bolts (8) and 3/8" flange nuts (40).

2. Attach the shield pivot bracket (97) to the pivot bracket (96) using a 3/4" x 4" HHCS bolt (20), two
3/4" flat washers (32) and a 3/4" nylock nut (46).
NOTE: Do not tighten the HHCS bolt (18) and nut (40). It should be snug-tighten to pivot freely.
There should only be 1-2 threads visible on the HHCS bolt (20) after nut (46) is snug-
tightened.
