Lift the grass deflector on the discharge chute. Insert (1)
boot rod P#(B0348) through the outside set of mounting
holes on the deflector bracket, as shown in Figure 2-14a.
Secure the bot rod with (1) hair pin clip P#(K0099).
Install the aluminum boot P#(E1902) with the top inside
surface of the boot flush to the top surface of the mower
deck. Secure the aluminum boot to the boot plate using
(2) 3/8"-16 x 1" carriage bolts P#(K1182) and (2) 3/8"-16
nylon flange lock nuts P#(K2038). Insert the bolts from
the inside of the boot so that the threads are on the
outside of the boot. This will prevent any grass clippings
from collecting on the threads. Refer to Figure 2-14b.
