Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in the following steps must be cut to fit your
machine. Do not cut the hoses until you have tried to fit
them on your machine. Remember that the hoses need
to be long enough to allow for the opening and closing of
the collection system as well as allowing ample clamping
surface between each component.
Upper Hose Installation
Slide a Hose Clamp P#(J0060) over one end of the 6”
Upper Hose. Secure this end of the 6” Upper Hose to the
Blower Outlet. See Figure below for details. Secure
opposite end of the 6” Upper Hose to the Inlet. Make
sure both ends are securely fastened by tightening the
Hose Clamp and rotating the Inlet Snap Fastener
towards the hose to lock in place.
Lower Hose To Blower Cone
Installation
Slide a Hose Clamp P#(J0080) over both ends of the
Lower Hose. Secure one end of the Lower Hose to the
Blower Cone and fasten by tightening the Hose Clamp.
Lower Hose To Boot Installation
Take the unattached end of the Lower Hose and secure
it to the circular end of the Boot and fasten by tightening
the Hose Clamp.
Tip: Before securing Hose Clamp fully, rotate Lower
Hose counter-clockwise (away from yourself)
approximately 1” to aid in retaining Boot to mower deck.
