Top Assembly To Upper Frame Assembly Installation
Align the Top Assembly Pivot Holes to the Upper Frame Assembly. See Figure A below. Before fastening, pull Rubber
Dust Guard outward to seal against Upper Frame Assembly (towards the mower’s operator seat). Fasten the Top
Assembly to the Upper Frame Assembly using (2) 5/16”-18 x 2-1/2” HHCS P#(K0125) and (2) 5/16”-18 Ny-Flange
Locknuts P#(K2516). Leave the Ny-Flange Locknuts slightly loose to allow the Top Assembly to open and close easily.

Inlet Installation
Position the Top Assembly on its side with the Inlet Hole facing
up. See Figure B. 1: Insert the Inlet from inside the Top Assembly,
up through the Inlet Hole, until the Inlet Retaining Lip meets the
Inlet Hole. 2: Position the Inlet as shown in Figure B, then pull the
Inlet until a portion of the Inlet Retaining Lip protrudes from the
Inlet hole. 3: Next, lift the Inlet as shown in Figure B until all of the
Inlet Retaining Lip protrudes from the Inlet Hole. Once installed,
the Inlet should pivot freely about the Inlet Hole.
