2-10 Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in steps 2-11 and 2-12 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-11 and 2-12 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.
2-11 Upper Hose Installation
Slide a 5"-6" upper hose clamp P#(J6011) onto both
ends of the 6" upper hose (Figure 2-12). 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 2-12 for details. Make sure both ends of the hose
are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower assembly
inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.
2-12 Lower Hose To Blower Cone
Installation
Slide a 7"-8" hose clamp P#(J6006) 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 2-12).

2-13 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 2-13). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1" to add in retaining
boot to mower deck.

2-14 Front Weight Installation
NOTE: There is a difference between the Bobcat and
Bunton front casters, use the proper bolt hole pattern
picture for your mower.
Secure the weight brackets P#(B0026) to the mower by
using (2) 3/8"-16 u-bolts P#(K1119) and (4) 3/8"-16
flange nuts P#(K1215). Next, secure the weight to the
weight brackets by using (2) ½"-13 u-bolts P#(K0331)
and (4) ½" flange nuts-13 P#(K1246). When installing
the weight you should have another person help position
the weight onto a floor jack. Using the floor jack will
make installing the weight much easier. Tighten all nuts
and bolts. Use (Figure 2-14a or 2-14b) for more detail.
