1.   DECK SOUND BARRIER (cont’d.) 

Use of the supplied plastic pine tree clips and 
fender washers (qty.: 16 of ea.) is strongly 
advised to help secure the sound material 
around the bends in the fender and will help 
prevent the sound material from premature-
ly coming loose. See figures 1.7.1, 1.7.2, and 
1.7.3. 

 
1.7  

Before re-installing the floor mats, use the 5 existing 

holes per fender side as guides to drill 9/32” diameter 
holes through the newly installed sound material. Also 
drill 3 new holes (9/32” diameter) per side as shown in 
figure 1.7.3. Approximate locations are sufficient as 
shown. Install 8 plastic pine tree clips per side as shown 
with the thin head side up top and the fender washers 
below the deck surface sandwiching the sound material 
lightly (not shown). Note: no need to over-compress the 
sound material with the fender washers. 

1.8  

Reinstall the deck, pedals, ROPS, and operator seat.  

IMPORTANT: the bolts on the ROPS structure must 
be torqued properly to meet original equipment safe-
ty standards. These four (4) bolts (M14 diameter) are 
to be torqued to 91-108 ft.-lbs. (124-147 N-m). 

DO NOT install the nuts on the front foot well mounting 
studs that were removed in step 1.1, but retain them for 
later use.  Tuck the slit in the center rear section around 
the knob and make sure to pull the seat switch wire up 
through the cutout before securing the deck. 

1.9  

The small piece of sound barrier from the kit can be 

stuffed in place under the access door for the transmis-
sion filler cap. Do not adhere it to the door. Remove this 
piece when checking transmission fluid. See figure 1.9.
