PREPARING THE DECK BOOT

View the boot templates that are provided.  Select the template that corresponds with the 
discharge opening of your mowing deck.  If a template does not exist for your mower, then 
one will need to be created.

To create a custom template:

mark around your discharge opening on a piece of cardboard.

Tape the template to the face of the boot, locating the template approximately ½” from     

the front edge and ¼” down from the top (keep as close to the top as possible).  

Mark the outline of the template onto the face of the boot using a white crayon, nail, or          

scribe.

Drill a starting hole inside the outline. Use a key-hole saw or equivalent to cut out the 

opening.  Be sure not to cut the hole too big the first time.

Position the boot over the deck opening and check for fit of cutout.  If necessary, trim 

the cutout.  Keep the fit as close as possible for best vacuum suction.

A selection of boot brackets are provided.  Some bending may be required.  Drilling of 
holes into your existing deck may be necessary, as well as drilling into the top of the boot.

ATTENTION!
WE HAVE MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE HARDWARE 
TO MOUNT THE DECK BOOT TO VARIOUS LAWN MOWING 
MANUFACTURERS.  DUE TO CONSTANT CHANGES IN DESIGNS 
OF MOWING DECKS SOME ADAPTATION MAY BE NECESSARY.
