23. Lift the levers on the Quick Release bolt to release the clamping pressure, (Figure 14). Pull the Grille
Guard out and away from the vehicle to the "open" position, (Figure 15). NOTE: If the Grille Guard
does not pivot to "open" position, slightly loosen the 12mm upper hex bolt on each Mounting
Bracket, (Figure 16). WARNING! Do not completely loosen bolts or damage to the truck may occur.
24. Carefully pull on the Grille Guard until it is fully extended away from the vehicle, (Figure 15).
25. Pull the hood release and slowly open the hood.
26. IMPORTANT! Before closing the hood, always make sure that the Grille Guard is in the full open
position and away from the vehicle. Pull on the Grille Guard to verify that it is fully extended away from
the vehicle and slowly close the hood, (Figure 15).
27. Once the hood is completely closed, push the Grille Guard back to its "closed," upright position and
tighten all hardware on the Grille Guard, (Figure 17). Push down on the Quick Release lever to tighten,
(Figure 18). 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.
28. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
