2-11 Adjusting Of The Length Of
Hose
The hoses in steps 2-12 and 2-13 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-12 and 2-13. 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.
2-12 Attachment Of The Upper Hose
Slide a 5"-6" upper hose clamp P#(J6011) onto both
ends of the 6" upper hose (Figure 14). 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 14 for details. Make sure both ends of the hose
are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower assembly
inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.
2-13 Attachment Of The Lower Hose
To The Blower Cone
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 14.

2-14 Attachment Of The Lower Hose
To The Boot
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 14). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1" to add in retaining
boot to mower deck.
2-15 Front Weight Assembly
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#(K0286)
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 bottom 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 15) for more detail.
