Raise the tractor seat and remove the springs and
bolts from the rear fender using a 1/2" socket for GT

the spring mounting holes. Check for clearance with

adhesive pads (K) to the bottom of the base leg tubes.

(H) supplied with the Sun Shade. Align the base leg
tubes on the rear fender. Use a 1/2" socket (GT) or
