2-20 Length Of Hose Adjustment

The hoses in steps 2-21 and 2-22 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-21 and 2-22. do not cut the
hoses until you have tried to fit them on your machine.
Remember that the hoses have to be long enough to
adjust for the blower assembly’s movement as well as
allow for enough clamping surface between the inlet,
blower assembly, and the deck boot.

2-21 Upper Hose Installation

Slide a pre-assembled hose clamp P#(J1000) onto both
ends of the 6” upper hose (Figure 2-23). Then slide one
end of the 6” hose onto the 6” hose ring P#(E0007). 
Make sure there is about a two-inch overlap between the 
hose end and the hose ring. Lift the locking pin on the 7” 
inlet ring P#(V1152) and insert the hose ring. Secure the 
hose ring with the locking pin. Proceed to slide the 
opposite end of the 6” hose onto the outlet of the blower 
assembly. See (Figure 2-23) for details. Make sure both 
ends of the hose are clearly attached to the inlet and the 
blower assembly inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.

2-22 Lower Hose To Blower Cone      

Installation

Slide a pre-assembled hose clamp P#(J1000) over both 
ends of the lower hose. Then proceed to slide the lower 
hose onto the blower cone. Tighten the hose clamp. The
assembly should look like Figure 2-23.

2-23 Lower Hose To Boot Installation

Take the unattached end of the lower hose and slide it
over the circular end of the boot. Use the lower hose
clamp to secure the hose to the boot (Figure 2-23). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1” to aid in retaining
boot to mower deck.
