The push pull cable should be routed forward along the rail and down the front frame as shown in Figure 13. Secure with zip ties. Once installed, cycle the latch close and release it using the push pull does not cycle adjust the cable cable. Do this multiple times to ensure the spacing and travel distances aree correct. If itt retainer bracket accordingly. This may require bending the bracket upwards to decrease the distance between the retainer and the latch (see Figure 12). Figure 13.

18 Radiator Support Frame Tab Removal Procedure In order for the K HOOD TILT CONVERSION KIT to properly function on a 2011 machine, the tabs on the SUPPORT, RADIATOR FRAME must be trimmed. This document will outline the procedure for proper removal of these tabs. Figure 1 shows the location of the tabs. Figure 1. Tab location highlighted in red. Procedure: 1. Using a flat, square, template, ( a framing square was used for the demonstration), place the template against the transmission oil cooler and allow the bottom edge to restt on the tab of the Radiator Support frame, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Square template 2. With the template secured, scribe a line on the radiator side of the tab. Please see Figure 3 for clarification. 15

19 Figure 3. Square and scribedd line placement. Scribe side closest to tube Remove this side 3. Using an angle grinder, carefully trim the tab along the scribed line as seen in Figure 4. Figures 4. Angle grinder used to trimm tab along scribed line 4. With the tab removed, round the corners as seen in Figure 5.. Figure 5: Rounded and deburred edges. 5. Using a shield (cardboard was used for the demonstration), prime the exposed steel and then paint with a glossy black. Figure 6 shows the steps of the process. 16

20 Figure 6. Shield surrounding area, prime and paint the exposed steel. 6. Repeat steps 1 throughh 5 for the other side of the machine. Upon completion, both tabs should be trimmed, deburred, primed, and painted. 7. Return to Step 9 on page 6 of the Hood Tilt Installation Instructions and complete through Step 22 before continuing to the final inspection. 8. Inspect the operation of the Hood Tilt Kit by opening the frame slowly, carefully watching to ensuree that neither the frame, nor the shock, contacts the tab. The final clearance can be seen in Figure 7. Figure 7. Final Inspection 17
