2-13 Length Of Hose Adjustment 2-16 Lower Hose To Boot Installation

The hoses in steps 2-14 and 2-15 must be cut to fit your machine. Follow steps 2-14 and 2-15. 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, but have to remain short enough to prevent hose “kinks”.

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

Figure 2-16.

2-14 Upper Hose Installation

Slide a 5”-6” upper hose clamp P#(J6011) onto both
ends of the 6” upper hose (Figure 2-15). 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 2-15 for details. Make sure both ends of the hose
are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower assembly	Lower Hose	Boot
inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.		Clamp

2-15 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 2-15.

2-17 Front Weight Installation

Place (1) weight bracket P#(B0026) over each front caster. Fasten each weight bracket to the front caster loosely, by using (1) 3/8”-16 x 3-1/2” u-bolt P#(K1119) and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215) per bracket. When installing the 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 side of the weight brackets. Fasten the weight to the weight brackets by using (1) ½”- 13 u-bolt P#(K0331) and (2) ½”-13 flange nuts P#(K1246) per bracket. Once the weight is secure tighten all nuts. Use Figure 2-17 for more detail.
