5.Remove the Belt Cover on the right side of the deck. Install the Blower by inserting the mounting pin into the tube welded to the rear corner of the deck. Pivot the blower until the front pin engages the slot in the deck. Adjust the position of the front pin if necessary to engage the slot. Use the latch to lock the blower in this position. Adjust tension on latch to draw blower up to deck, yet allow release by hand.

7.Install the Belt Cover using the two knobs. Install the discharge tube assembly by slipping the upper end into the hood, then sliding the lower end over the blower discharge opening. Use the latch to retain the lower end to the blower.

8.Follow the operation instructions in Section 5 to run the unit. Run the unit with the blades and blower engaged for 2 minutes. Disengage the blades, shut off the motor, and remove the key.

9.Remove the belt cover and check to make sure that the belt is riding near the center of the flat idler on the idler arm. If the belt is not riding near the center of the idler, remove the blower, and bend the idler arm slightly. Reinstall the blower and belt cover and perform steps 8 and 9 again to verify belt position.
