NOTE: Certain models have an interlock spring. Make
sure the plastic tab on the inside rear edge of the
adapter has engaged the interlock spring and has
pushed the spring inward. If this spring remains outside
the tab, the interlock will prevent engine from starting.
STEP 2: Guide the adapter in from the side of the
mower deck until the stud located behind the right front
wheel protrudes through the raised boss on the front
edge of adapter. Secure with hardware, but do not
tighten. Position slot at the top of adapter onto stud.
Push the lower rear edge of the adapter in over the stud
protruding from the rear side of the mower deck and
secure with hardware, but do not. Install hardware on
the stud on top of deck then securely tighten the
