Hoses
THE HOSES IN STEPS 2-11 AND 2-12 MUST BE
CUT TO FIT YOUR MACHINE. FOLLOW STEPS 2-
11 AND 2-12. DO NOT CUT THE HOSES UNTIL
YOU HAVE TRIED TO FIT THEM TO YOUR
MACHINE. REMEMBER THAT THE HOSES HAVE
TO BE LONG ENOUGH TO ADJUST FOR THE
BLOWER ASSEMBLY’S MOVEMENT AS WELL AS
ALLOW FOR ENOUGH CLAMPING SURFACE
BETWEEN THE INLET, BLOWER ASSEMBLY,
AND THE DECK BOOT.

The Blower Assembly
Slide 7"-8" hose clamp (Figure 15) over both ends of
