12. Install the mounting pin weldment (item 18) to the
blower assembly using the 3/8-16 x 3/4 inch bolts
(item 28) and whizlock nuts (item 24). Maximum
deck clearance will be provided if the bolts are
installed from below the mounting pin. The mount
pin can be installed in two positions. For 60 inch
decks, Serial Number 599,999 and Lower, the pin
should be installed as far away from the bumper end
as possible. For all 72 inch decks and 60 inch and 66
inch decks Serial Number 600,000 and Higher, the
pin should be installed close to the bumper end (see
Figure 21).

14. Mount the blower on the deck by sliding the
mounting pin into the tube at the rear right corner
of the deck. Swing the blower closed. Adjust the
position of the front pin to engage the slot in the
front of the deck. Use the latch to lock the blower
in this position. Adjust the tension on the latch to
hold the blower up to the deck, yet allow for release
by hand.
15. Pull the spring loaded idler back and slip the belt
over the top deck spindle sheave.
16. Install the plastic belt cover (item 10). On 60 and
66 inch units the outside end of the cover is slotted
and can slip between the two washers assembled
in step 11 in the Units Serial Number 600,000 and
Higher section. The plastic knob does not need to
be removed. On 72 inch units the cover has a hole,
and the plastic knob must be installed after the cover
has been positioned.
On Units Serial Number 600,000 and
Higher with Triton and Series 5 Decks:
Adjust dog leg baffle to match Ultra Vac blower intake
opening. Adjusting too wide may allow objects to be
thrown from under the mower deck at high speed.
Adjusting too narrow may cause plugging issues.
