Align the holes in the cutting head shield with the holes
in the mount bracket. (Fig. 1)

the cutting head shield until finger tight.

the cutting head shield is firmly in place. Tighten the
screws equally. The gap between the mount bracket and
the cutting head shield should be the same on each side.

Adjusting the D-handle

move along the boom.
