2-20 Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in steps 2-21 and 2-22 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-21 and 2-22. 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.
2-21 Upper Hose Installation
Slide a pre-assembled hose clamp P#(J1000) onto both
ends of the 6" upper hose (Figure 2-23). Slide one
end of the 6" hose onto the plastic inlet P#(V0025).
Make sure there is about a two-inch overlap between the
hose end and the plastic inlet. Proceed to slide the
opposite end of the 6" hose onto the outlet of the blower
assembly. See (Figure 2-23) for details. Make sure both
ends of the hose are clearly attached to the inlet and the
blower assembly inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.

2-22 Lower Hose To Blower Cone
Installation
Slide a pre-assembled hose clamp P#(J1000) 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 2-23.
2-23 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 2-23). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1" to aid in retaining
boot to mower deck.
Note: For maximum collection system performance,
adjust the hose lengths (Step 2-20) to achieve the
smoothest transition between components. Avoid any
sharp bends in the upper and lower hoses.
