PREPARING THE DECK BOOT

View the boot templates that are provided. Select the template that corresponds with the discharge opening of mowing deck. If a template does not exist for your mower, then one will need to be created.

To create a custom template, mark around your discharge opening on a piece of cardboard.

Tape the template to the face of the boot, locating the template approximately ½” from the front edge and ¼” down from the top. Keep as close to the top as possible. Mark outline of template onto the face of the boot using a white crayon, nail or scribe.

Drill a starting hole inside the outline, and then use a key-hole saw or equivalent to cut out the opening. Be sure not to cut the hole too big the first time.

Position the boot over the deck opening and check for fit of cutout. If necessary, trim cutout. Keep the fit as close as possible for best vacuum suction.

A selection of boot brackets is provided. Some bending may be required. Drilling of holes into your existing deck may be necessary, as well as drilling into the top of the boot.
