2-16 Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in steps 2-17 and 2-18 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-17 and 2-18. do not cut the
hoses until you have tried to fit them on your machine.
Remember that the hoses have to be long enough to
adjust for the blower assembly's movement as well as
allow for enough clamping surface between the inlet,
blower assembly, and the deck boot.
2-17 Upper Hose Installation
Slide a pre-assembled hose clamp P#(J0060) onto both
ends of the 6" upper hose (Figure 2-19). Then slide one
end of the 6" hose onto the 6" hose ring P#(E0007).
Make sure there is about a two-inch overlap between the
hose end and the hose ring. Lift the locking pin on the 7"
inlet ring P#(V1152) and insert the hose ring. Secure the
hose ring with the locking pin. Proceed to slide the
opposite end of the 6" hose onto the outlet of the blower
assembly. See (Figure 2-19) for details. Make sure both
ends of the hose are clearly attached to the inlet and the
blower assembly inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.
