where front of recycling cover was originally installed, 2)
slot on top of adapter slips under restraining nut on top of
deck (under right front corner of engine), and 3) slot on
bottom rear of adapter slips onto stud behind rear of
discharge opening, where rear of recycling cover was
originally secured. See Figure 2.11. Install
