7. Re-install the plastic belt cover and tighten the
knobs.
8. Unplug the wiring for the fill sensor at the front
of the hopper. Secure loose wire harness by
routing loose end partially back down ROPS tube.
9. Remove the hair pins and clevis pins holding the
hopper assembly to the ROPS weldment.
10. Rotate the hopper assembly rearward until the
back of the door rests on the ground. Remove
the hair pins holding the lower hopper links to
the lower frame mount (Figure 7).
11. The bracket bolted to the rear of the frame at the
ROPS remains on the unit
Note: The portions of the FrontRunner Ultra
Vac that are not bolted to the mower are designed
to be installed or removed in their entirety. Failure
to do so will cause a reduction in stability or
traction. Do Not operate the mower with only a
portion of the FrontRunner Ultra Vac installed.
12. The machine can now be used for side discharge
mowing.
Bagger Installation for Bagging
1. Stop engine, remove key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
2. Remove hairpin and chute pivot pin. Remove
discharge chute. Pivot pin and hair pin may be
stored in the pivot holes of the discharge chute
during bagging operation.
3. Lay the hopper assembly on the door as shown in
(see Figure 7).

1. Secure in this location
2. Lower links
4. Install the hopper assembly onto the mount by
rotating the lower hopper links forward and
slipping them over the pins of the lower mount
weldment. Secure the lower links to the mount
using the hairpins.
3. Hopper assembly
5. Lift and rotate the hopper assembly up and align
the upper pin holes with the holes in the ROPS
mount. Install the upper pins through the ROPS
plates and hopper frame tubes. Secure the upper
pins with the attached hairpins.
1. Rotate hopper assembly
6. Mount the blower on the deck by sliding the
mounting pin into the tube at the rear right corner
of the deck. Swing the blower closed. Adjust the
position of the front pin to engage the slot in the
front of the deck. Use the latch to lock the blower
in this position. Adjust the tension on the latch
to hold the blower up to the deck, yet allow for
release by hand.
7. Remove the plastic belt cover. Pull the spring
loaded idler back and slip the belt over the top
spindle deck sheave.
8. Install the plastic belt cover. The rear of the cover
is slotted and can slip behind the plastic knob on
the belt shield stud. The plastic knob does not
need to be removed. The front horizontal plastic
knob for the plastic belt cover must be installed
after the cover has been positioned.
The front vertical plastic knob on the original
steel belt cover can be used for plastic belt cover.
9. The hopper inlet has ribs to engage the spiral
reinforcement of the flexible tube. Using a marker
or paint pen, mark the flexible tube approximately
4 inches from the end. Insert the end of the
tube into the hopper inlet, and rotate clockwise
to engage. Rotate and thread the tube into the
hopper inlet up to the 4 inch mark. It may be
easier to "push" the tube into the inlet rather than
rotating (Figure 9).
