To mount the boot plate P#(B1810) to the boot
P#(E1039), use (2) 3/8” x 1” carriage bolts P#(K1182)
and (2) 3/8” flange nuts P#(K1215). Be sure that, when
fastening the boot and boot plate together, the head of
the bolt is placed from the inside of the boot. This will
prevent grass from collecting on the bolts. Hang the boot
onto the mower deck (Figure 13). The slots in the boot
plate will allow for adjustment left or right to achieve the
proper fit for different size cutting decks. Once the boot
is in place tighten the bolts and, if applicable, tighten the
bolts of the mower’s deflector shield and rotate the
deflector towards the boot.
Take the unattached end of the lower hose and slide it
over the circular end of the boot. Use the lower hose
clamp to secure the hose to the boot. (Figure 12).
Remove the (4) bolts from the front left and front right of
the mower, near the casters (Figure 14). Once removed,
place the weight assembly P#(A0507) where the bolts
were removed and align the holes. NOTE: Have at least
two people for lifting the weight into place. Fasten the
weight assembly to the mower by using (2) 3/8” x 1” hex

2-17 Tips On Mowing With The
Collection System
Attach the exhaust diverter provided P#(J0270) to the
end of the mower’s exhaust pointing downward to direct
the exhaust fumes away from the vac engine. Once in
position fasten by using (1) exhaust clamp kit
P#(X1064).
To obtain the maximum effectiveness from your
collection system the tips listed below should be
followed:
* Watch your speed- Normal conditions will allow a
speed of up to approximately 5 mph, but thick, heavy
damp conditions will require reduced ground speed.
* Mow with sharp blades- A sharp blade cuts cleaner.
* Wet grass and leaves will decrease effectiveness and
will increase horsepower requirements.
* Mow at higher cutting heights- Remove and mulch no
more than 2” of grass length with each mowing. (Experts
recommend not cutting off more than 1/3 of the grass
blade length at any given time.)
* Mow twice, at different height settings, (high, then low),
if grass is extra tall.
* Remember that horsepower requirements will vary with
the mowing conditions such as type and height of turf
grass, moisture content, amount of leaves, whether the
terrain is flat or hilly, etc.
