Boot Kit Installation

First, remove the mower's deck discharge chute deflector fasteners and set the discharge chute deflector aside. Then,
secure the Boot Plate (Item #2) to the Aluminum Boot (Item #1) using (2) 3/8"-16 x 1" Carriage Bolts (Item #4.1) and
(2) 3/8"-16 Ny-Flange Lock Nuts (Item #4.2), see Figure B. Leave the hardware loose until the boot plate has been
attached to the mower deck.
Next, align the Boot Plate, discharge chute deflector and deck as shown in Figure A. Insert (1) Boot Rod (Item #3)
through the Boot Plate, discharge chute deflector and deck mount tabs. Secure the Boot Rod using (1) Hair Pin Clip
(Item #4.3). See Figure A and Figure B.
Finally, with the Carriage Bolts still loose, adjust the position of the boot so that there is no gap between the mower
deck and the boot. Once adjusted, tighten all hardware at this time.

Note: Insert the Carriage Bolts from the inside of the
Boot so the threads are on the top of the Boot.
This will prevent grass clippings from collecting
on the threads.
