1. Each end of the Rubber Cutting Edge has two factory marks (to match with
holes in Skid Bracket). Drill them out with 5/16" Bit (Figure 1).

surface. Repeat at other end.
Tip: When mounted-Skid Bracket should align flush with or slightly above
bottom of rubber.
Note Rubber should be room temperature before assembly
3. Apply soapy water solution to channel areas of the Rubber Blade and
Aluminum Blade where they will mate together (Figure 2)
4. Align groove on rubber with groove in Blade, so Skid Brackets face back to
Blade.
5. Slide rubber into channel in bottom of Blade and center it.
6. Locate factory marks on back of blade. Place slide hinge on blade and align
both lower holes with marks on blade (Figure 3).
Tip: When mounted-slide hinges should measure about 14-1/2" apart.
7. Insert 2 square nuts in channel at end of blade and slide them over to line up
with holes at top of slide hinge (Figure 4).
8. Insert bolts through holes in slide hinge and thread onto nuts inside blade.
