2. While holding the blower against the deck and chute
mount tabs, place the spacers on the mower deck in
the recesses of the mount plate. Make sure they are
at the bottom of the recess (see Figure 8). Mark
their location with a paint pen or prick punch.
3. Remove the spacers and blower.
4. Drill 5/16" holes where the spacer location was
marked.
5. Install the spacers (C, FIgure 9) and mount bar (B)
on the mower deck and secure with the 5/16-18 x 1-
1/4" bolts (D) and 5/16-18 nylon lock nuts (A).
Install Blower & Belt Guard
1. Install the blower onto the chute mount tabs with the
blower mount tabs towards the rear. Secure with the
retainer pin and hair pin. Make sure the handle of
the retaining pin is pointing down.
2. Pull the idler arm lever against the spring to install
the drive belt on the spindle pulley. The tension idler

If not, remove the belt shield and drive belt from the
spindle and reposition the top idler pulley in the out-
side row of holes until the measurement is achieved.

5/16" x 1" bolts and 5/16" washers (if necessary).
