Hook the other end of the spring into the open hole in
the handle mount bracket. Fasten the handle to the
grass container frame by using (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS
P#(K1208) and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). At this
point the handle can pivot back and forth in the slot of
the handle mount bracket. With the handle in place,
fasten the ball joint P#(K1442) to the end of the latch rod
P#(A0260). Tighten to approximately half way down the
threads of the latch rod. Slide the ball joint into the hole
on the latch hook P#(B1529). Use (1) 5/16”-24 hex nut
P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16” lock washer P#(K0043) to
fasten the ball joint to the latch hook. Attach the opposite
end of the latch rod into the handle. Fasten the rod to the
handle by using (1) 3/32” x 3/4” cotter pin P#(K0094).
Adjust the rod to allow the hook to close the box door
completely.
Refer to pages 8, 9, 10 and 11 for exploded parts
drawings and photographs of the complete assembly.
2-8 Aluminum Grass Container To Unit
Installation
NOTE:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT 3 PEOPLE
ASSIST IN MOUNTING THE CONTAINER.
With three people available, two can lower the container
onto the frame while the third person inserts the pivot
pins P#(K0172) through the holes. Insert the pins from
the outside to the inside. Secure with (1) 5/8” washer
P#(K0058) and (1) 5/32” x 2-5/8” hair pin clip P#(K0088)
per pivot pin. Reattach the bottom ends of the door
linkage rods to the main frame by using (1) rue-ring
cotter pin P#(K1437) per side. To test the functionality of
the dump mechanism, pull the lift handle away from the
unit and lift upward (Figure 9). The door of the container
should open and the box should pivot towards the
ground. Please ensure that no one is standing behind
the door as the container is being dumped.
2-9 Adjusting The Dump Mechanism
The linkage rods may be adjusted in two places, at the
adjusting screw P#(K1435) and the latch assembly
items. See Figures 9 & 11 for visual clarification. To
change the door closure tightness, screw the adjusting
screw in or out. To adjust the latch, change the length of
the latch rod by screwing the latch adjusting ball joint in
or out. The latch hook pivot should be in the middle of
the slot in the latch hook pivot plate. Slide the pivot back
or forth and then re-tighten.
2-10 Boot To Mower Deck Installation
60” Boot Plate Mounting Instructions
To mount the boot plate P#(B0184) to the boot
P#(E1113) use (2) 3/8”-16 x 1” carriage bolts P#(K1182)
and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). See Figure 14 for
bolt placement.
48” & 52” Boot Plate Mounting Instructions
To mount the boot plate P#(B0184) to the boot
P#(E1113) use (2) 3/8”-16 x 1” carriage bolts P#(K1182)
and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). See Figure 15 for
bolt placement.
NOTE:
When bolting the boot and boot plate together,
the head of the bolt is placed from the inside of the boot.
This will prevent grass from collecting on the bolts.
For All Deck Sizes
Remove the bolts that hold the deflector shield in place
so that the boot rod can fasten the boot and boot plate to
the mower deck. Align the holes in the boot plate to the
holes in the deflector shield mount and slide the boot rod
P#(B0244) through and fasten by using (1) hair pin clip
P#(K0099).
