The discharge cone consists of four cone quarter panels.  Begin construction by placing two cone quarter 
panels such that the edges overlap and the four holes on the overlapping edges are aligned, with the 
larger cone diameter down.  Using top and middle overlapping holes in the panels (as shown in Figure 7), 
fasten the cone panels together using two 1/4” X 3/4” bolts pushed 

from the inside out

, and two 1/4” 

whiz-lock nuts.  Tighten the fasteners in the top holes securely, but only finger-tighten the hardware in the 
middle set of holes at this time.  Repeat this process for the third and fourth panels until the cone is 
completed.  To prevent rain water leakage, the top panel should overlap both side panels, and the side 
panels should overlap the bottom  panel. 

CONE ASSEMBLY 

Next, invert the cone so that the larger 
diameter is up.  Using four 1/4” flat 
washers, insert four 1/4” X 2-3/4” 
Guard Stud Bolts into the overlapping 
holes on the edge of the cone panels 

from the outside in

.  Place a Guard 

Spacer over each Guard Stud Bolt. 
Next, place a 1/4” whiz-lock nut on 
each Guard Stud Bolt and tighten 
securely, creating the guard studs as 
shown in Figures 8 & 9.   

Now, tighten ALL of the 1/4” cone 
hardware securely.  The guard is now 
ready to be mounted.  Take the guard, 
and with the eyelets at the ends of the 
guard ribs pointing out of the cone, 
slide the guard inside the cone.  The 
eyelets at the end of the guard ribs 
should be placed over the guard studs. 
With the guard in place, a 1/4” whiz-
lock nut should be placed on the guard 
studs and tightened to secure the 
guard.
