2-12 Lengths Of Hose Adjustment
2-13 Upper Hose Installation
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.
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
2-15 Lower Hose To Boot Installation
2-16 Front Weight 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.
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.
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.
