Boot Kit Installation
Secure the Boot Plate P#(B1049) to the Aluminum Boot P#(E0035A) using (2) 3/8"-16 x 1" Carriage Bolts P#(K1182)
and (2) 3/8"-16 Nylon Flange Locknuts P#(K2038). Insert the bolts from the inside so that the threads are on top of the
boot. This will prevent grass clippings from collecting on the bolt threads. Leave the hardware loose until the boot
assembly has been attached to the mower deck. Lift the grass deflector and position the boot plate between the two
tabs. Secure the boot plate by using (1) Boot Rod P#(B0288) and (1) Hair Pin Clip P#(K0099) Close any gaps
between the boot and the mower deck by adjusting the position on the boot in the boot plate slots. Tighten all
hardware at this time. Refer to Figure A.
