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 nyloc nuts P#(K1216). See Figure 2-10
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 nyloc nuts P#(K1216). See Figure 2-10
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).
NOTE:
The mower’s deflector shield is removed in the
following photo for clarity. Always have the deflector
shield mounted when mowing.

Installation
NOTE:
During this step, it is suggested that two people
install the upper frame to the lower mount tube.
Using two people to lift the upper frame, lift the upper
frame above the lower mount tube making sure the
frame is pointing away from the mower (Figure 2-8).
Slide the upper frame tube into the lower mount tube
aligning the mounting hole. Insert (1) ½” x 2-1/2” clevis
pin P#(K0133) through the hole and fasten with (1) 5/32”
x 2-5/8” hair pin clip P#(K0088).
