Place one of the Black Plastic Lens Spacer over the large 2” screw from the back side of guard (Fig.3). Insert screw and assemble into outer top hole (Fig.4).

Step3: Start outer top screw but do not tighten. Leave loose to allow for the fitment of the remaining 3 screws and spacers. Move to the inner top screw location and insert a Black Plastic Lens Spacer behind guard and into lens mounting opening (Fig.5). Insert Smaller 2” Philips Head Screw through the front of the guard and into the lens assemble (DO NOT TIGHTEN). Follow the same procedure for the outer lower and inner lower mounts. Remember that the larger 2” Philips head screws go to the outside. Confirm fitment of cover and proper placement of Black Plastic Spacers prior to tightening (Fig.6).
