Installing the Boot
Note: Do not remove the grass deflector.
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Install the boot onto the mower by lifting the mower
discharge chute and sliding the boot bracket between
the grass deflector and the mower deck (Fig. 14).
4. Release the grass deflector. This will lock the boot in
place behind the bolt heads (Fig. 14).
Note: The boot needs to fit snuggly to the mower.
5. If the bolts are not positioned correctly to lock to boot
in place, loosen the bolts, slide them to the correct
position so that the deflector locks the boot in place
(Fig. 14).
6. Tighten the bolts.
Note: The boot needs to fit the mower snuggly.
