 NOTE: To install the brush guard on certain
Prowlers equipped with stock bumpers, it is neces-
sary to enlarge the bumper mounting holes. See
steps 1 and 2; otherwise skip to step 3.
1. Using a 13 mm and a 10 mm wrench, remove the
four cap screws securing the existing front bum-
per. Remove the bumper and discard the existing
hardware.
2. Enlarge the four outside and two lower inside
mounting holes in the bumper mounting tubes
using a 15 mm (19/32 in.) drill bit See Fig. 1.
3. Position the new Brushguard Bumper onto the
front of the vehicle. From the outside, insert the
two Shoulder Screws (A) through the lower
mounting holes in the bumper bracket. Place a Flat
Washer (B) onto each shoulder screw; then secure
with Nyloc Nut (C). See Fig. 2 for identification
and location of parts.
 NOTE: There may be extra hardware included in
this kit. Only the 1.38 in. x 0.413 in. flat washers are
to be used. Discard extra washers.

 NOTE: Do not over-tighten. The bumper will need
to move freely in order to rotate the bumper down-
ward to gain access to the hood.
4. Position the bumper at a downward angle; then
insert Spring (D) centered in the mounting
bracket; then align the spring with the upper
mounting lower holes in the brackets.
5. From the outside, insert Pin (E) through the
bracket mounting and into the spring. While care-
fully pulling backward on the spring to compress
it, install E-Clip (F) into the groove at the end of
the pin to secure the pin.
6. Pull outward on the pin and move it forward to the
unlocked position.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the opposite side.
8. Raise the bumper into position; then pull outward
on the pin and rotate the pin backward and lock the
J-end into the locked position.
CAUTION
Be sure to wear safety glasses when compressing
the spring and installing the E-Clip.
