Length Of Hose Adjustment, Front Weight Assembly

Note: When bolting the boot and boot plate together, the head of the bolt is placed from the inside of the boot. This will prevent grass from collecting on the bolts.

Note: The Mower’s Deflector Shield Has Been Removed In The Following Photo For Clarity. Always have the deflector shield mounted when mowing.

2-11 The Length Of Hose Adjustment

The hoses in steps 2-12 and 2-13 must be cut to fit your machine. Follow steps 2-12 and 2-13. Do not cut the hoses until you have tried to fit them on your machine. Remember that the hoses have to be long enough to allow for enough clamping surface between the inlet, blower assembly, and the deck boot.

2-12 Upper Hose Installation

Fasten the inlet to the plastic top by sliding the inlet from the inside of the top to the outside and lock into place. Slide a 5”-6” upper hose clamp P#(J6011) onto both ends of the 6” upper hose (Figure 2-12). Then slide one end of the 6” hose onto the inlet. Make sure there is about a two-inch overlap between the hose end and the container inlet. Proceed to slide the opposite end of the 6” hose onto the outlet of the blower assembly. See Figure 2-12 for details. Make sure both ends of the hose are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower assembly inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.

2-13 Lower Hose To The Blower Cone Installation

Fasten the blower cone P#(E6009) to the blower housing by using (2) 5/16”-18 x 2-1/2” HHCS P#(K0125) and (2) 5/16”-18 jam nuts P#(K0120). Slide a 7”-8” hose clamp P#(J6006) over both ends of the lower hose. Then proceed to slide the lower hose onto the blower cone. Tighten the hose clamp. The assembly should look like Figure 2-12.

2-14 Lower Hose To The Boot Installation

Take the unattached end of the lower hose and slide it over the circular end of the boot. Use the lower hose clamp to secure the hose to the boot (Figure 2-12). Tip: Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise (away from yourself) approximately 1” to add in retaining boot to mower deck.

2-15 Front Weight Assembly

Attach each weight bracket P#(B0188) to the mower’s front casters by using (1) 3/4”-10 x 1-1/2” HHCS P#(K0364) and (1) 3/4”-10 nyloc nut P#(K1433) (Figure 2-15). When installing the 100 lb. weight you should have another person help position the weight onto a floor jack. Using the floor jack will make installing the weight much easier. Lift the weight up to the top of the weight brackets. Fasten the weight to the weight brackets by using (1) ½”-13 X 4-1/4” U-Bolt P#(K0331) and (2) ½”-13 flange nuts P#(K1246) per bracket. Once the weight is secure tighten all nuts. Be sure Weight is centered in reference to the U-Bolts.
