Opening and closing the hood
1. Lift the levers on the two Quick Release Bolts to release clamping pressure, (Fig 19). Try to pull the
Grill Guard forward. If necessary, slightly loosen the top hex bolts on the Frame Mounting Brackets to
pivot the Grille Guard away from the vehicle. Carefully pull on the Grille Guard until it is fully extended
away from the vehicle, (Fig 20). WARNING! Do not loosen the bolts all the way. Damage to the truck or
Grille Guard may occur. Only loosen the bolts enough to move the Grille Guard.
2. Pull the hood release and open the hood.
3. IMPORTANT: Before closing the hood, always check to make sure that the Grille Guard hasn’t been
pushed back to its "closed" position and that it is fully extended away from the vehicle, then close the
hood.
4. Once the hood is completely closed, push the Grille Guard back to its closed, upright position and
tighten all hardware on the Grille Guard. Push down on the Quick Release lever to tighten, (Fig 19). No
tools are required to close the Quick Release levers. It will require some effort to open and close by
hand when properly adjusted. Loosen or tighten the 10mm Nylon Lock Nut on the Quick Release bolt to
adjust the clamping pressure.
5. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a
protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could
damage the finish.
