the hole provided in the deck
wheel mount as shown in the

hole in the boot aligns with the
pin on the deck adapter. Move the
boot down onto that pin as shown

Installing the Hose

two tabs on the lower inside part
of the upper chute support to
allow for secure threading. See

NOTE: The hose and upper chute support
are left-hand threaded. Thread
counter-clockwise until secure.
2. Lift by the handles at the bottom of the hose. Slide the hose over the boot
