1. Clean and dry the upper and lower radius arms on both sides of the machine before installing RAD Covers to insure a proper fit.

2. Paint over any bare metal or rusty spots before installing covers to prevent oxidation of metal.

3. Determine the length of the RAD Covers for the upper and lower radius arms. The SHORTER RAD Covers go on the upper radius arms and the LONGER RAD Covers go on the LOWER radius arms. The upper and lower RAD Covers are the same for left and right sides of the machine.

NOTE: The lower radius arm is larger in diameter than the upper arm so it is important to put the covers on the right arms. The lower arm is also exposed more, so the lower RAD Cover is longer than the upper RAD Cover.

4. Set the RAD Cover over the radius arm and snap it down into place with the tab over the outer end of the radius arm to insure proper placement without movement or rotation of the RAD Cover.

NOTE: The RAD Covers must be at least 50 0 F. This will make installation easier. If it is cold, warm the RAD Covers with a hair dryer or equivalent.

WARNING:   Use no tools. The RAD Covers should be installed by hand only.

NOTICE:  The anti-rotational tab is designed only for lateral pressure.  Do not attempt to push or pull on the tab during installation or removal of the RAD Covers.

Attention Skid Plate users:
Be sure to check and remove any snow or ice build-up from the bulkhead and skidplate area before and after each ride.

Optional mounting ways:
The lower RAD Cover can be mounted upside down or from the front to give more protection. For sleds with jam nut on the outside, the RAD Cover can be flipped over so the flat edge is against the jam nut (tab to the inside).

The RAD Cover gives great protection from radius rod wear and rusting.
The snap fit is designed to make installation quick and easy.
