Place the finger guard into the bottom of the new hotend

mounting plate. The raised side of the finger guard should be

towards the top of the new hotend mounting plate.

Use a 2.5 mm hex driver to fasten the fan assembly to the

hotend mounting plate using the four (4) M3x25mm screws.

Make sure the orientation is correct!
