2-15 Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in steps 2-16 and 2-17 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-16 and 2-17. Do not cut the
hoses until you have tried to fit them on your machine.
Remember that the hoses need to be long enough to
allow for the opening and closing of the collection
system, PTO blower housing engagement, as well as
allowing ample clamping surface between each
component.
2-16 Upper Hose Installation
Fasten the inlet to the plastic top by sliding the inlet from
the inside of the top to the outside and lock into place.
Slide a pre-assembled hose clamp P#(J0060) onto both
ends of the 6" upper hose (Figure 2-18). Then slide one
end of the 6" hose onto the inlet. Make sure there is
about a two-inch overlap between the hose end and the
container inlet. Proceed to slide the opposite end of the
6" hose onto the outlet of the blower assembly. See
(Figure 2-18) for details. Make sure both ends of the
hose are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower
assembly inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.

Installation
Slide a pre-assembled hose clamp P#(J0080) over both
ends of the lower hose. Then proceed to slide the lower
hose onto the blower cone. Tighten the hose clamp. The
assembly should look like Figure 2-18.
2-18 Lower Hose To Boot Installation
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 2-18). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1" to aid in retaining
boot to mower deck.
