Remove the mower discharge deflector from your
mower deck. Save the deflector and hardware for
remounting deflector.
CAUTION:
Mower deflector must be
replaced when Chip-N-Vac deck adapter
is removed. Do Not operate mower
unless adapter or deflector is in place and
properly mounted.
Identify your mower deck (see fold outs) and cut
out the correct discharge opening template for your
mower deck size. If there is no template for your deck
size you can make your own template by marking
around a piece of cardboard held against the edge of
the discharge opening.
Tape the template to the face of the adapter, locating
template approximately
1/2" from front and 1/4" down
from top of adapter. Keep as close to top as possible.
See figure 23. Mark outline of template on face of
adapter using white crayon, nail or scriber. Drill a
starting hole inside the outline, then use a saber saw
or key hole saw to cut out the opening.
See figure 23.
