6. Align the rear set of holes in the cover bracket
weldment with the holes in the RH upright
support. Secure the cover bracket to the RH
support using (1) 3/8-16 x 2-1/2" bolt, (2) 3/8"
flat washers and (1) 3/8-16 elastic stop nut. Do
not overtighten. The cover must be allowed to
pivot on the upright support.
7. Pivot the molded top up and back allowing the
two spring anchors to become close enough to
install the two springs (item 69) onto the spring
anchors. Place the springs on the outside edge of
the anchors, so the bolts do not interfere. Pivot
the molded top down onto the catcher bucket.
8. Install (1) 3/8-16 x 2-1/2" bolt into the set of
holes located next to the pivot bolt in the cover
bracket weldment. Secure using (1) 3/8-16
elastic stop nut.
-Note-
This bolt must be installed to prevent the bucket
cover from flipping over.
9. Install the container latch (item 72) onto the LH
side of the molded top. Secure using (2) 1/4-20
x 1" bolts, (4) 1/4" flat washers and (2) 1/4-20
elastic stop nuts. Adjust the latch as necessary
to insure a tight fit between the cover and the
bucket.
3.5 ENGINE MOUNTING
1. Align the holes in the engine guard weldment
(item 55) with the mounting holes in the engine.
Insert (4) 5/16-18 x 1-3/4" bolts through the
holes in the engine and the engine guard
weldment.
3.4 BUCKET COVER ASSEMBLY
1. Align the holes in the filter frame (item 74) with
the holes in the molded top (item 70). Be sure
the venting slots are pointed away from the
operator. (see figure 3)
2. Align the three holes in the cover bracket
weldment (item 56) with the correct three holes in
the filter frame and the molded top as shown in
figure 3.
3. Install the 1/4" spacer (item 44) between the
cover bracket weldment and the filter frame at
the hole closest to where the cover bracket
mounts to the RH upright support. Insert (1)
1/4-20 x 1" bolt through the cover bracket, 1/4"
spacer, filter frame and molded top. Secure
using (1) 1/4" flat washer and (1) 1/4-20 elastic
stop nut.
4. Finish securing the cover bracket and the filter
frame to the molded top using the (7) 1/4-20 x 1"
bolts, (14) 1/4" flat washers, and (7) 1/4-20
elastic stop nuts. Use one flat washer by the
head of each bolt and one by each elastic stop
nut.
5. Install the grass filter (item 73) around the filter
frame. The elastic in the filter will go around the
lip that circles the filter frame located inside the
molded top.
