Bad Boy Mowers PUP Series, 48031001 manual Lengths Of Hose Adjustment, Upper Hose Installation

2-12 Lengths Of Hose Adjustment

The hoses in steps 2-13 and 2-14 must be cut to fit your machine. Follow steps 2-13 and 2-14. 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.

2-13 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 15). 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 15 for details. Make sure both ends of the hose are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower assembly inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.

2-14 Lower Hose To Blower Cone Installation

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 16.

2-15 Lower Hose To 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 16). Tip: Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise (away from yourself) approximately 1” to add in retaining boot to mower deck.

2-16 Front Weight Installation

Slide the weight bracket assembly P#(A0597) into the mower’s front receiver hitch (Figure 17). Fasten by using

(1)5/8” x 3” clevis pin P#(K0172) and (1) 5/32” x 2-5/8” hair pin clip P#(K0088). When installing the weight bar (Figure 18) P#(B2220), you should have another person help position the weight centered onto the weight bracket assembly. Fasten the weight by using (2) 1/2”-13 U-bolts P#(K0331) and (4) 1/2”-13 flange nuts P#(K1246). Tighten all nuts and bolts.
