Position the longer leg of the mounting bracket for the
striping kit against the skid (

Figure 1

).

Note:

Align the left edge of the mounting bracket with

the left edge of skid and the top edge of the mounting
bracket with the top edge of the skid.

4.

Remove the bracket. Center-punch the center of the
outline marked on the skid.

5.

Drill a hole (9/32 inch) in the right skid at the
center-punched location.

6.

Position the longer leg of the mounting bracket against
the skid.

Note:

Align the mounting bracket hole with the hole

drilled in the skid.

Firmly attach the bracket using a washer-head screw
(self-threading).

Installing the Striping Bracket

Note:

The striping bracket has two flanges—the mounting

flange has 2 slots and the wiper flange has 4 holes.

1.

Align the striping bracket so that the mounting flange
is up and facing the mower deck (the wiper flange is
down and away from the deck) as shown in

Figure 1

.

2.

Align the top of the slot in the mounting flange of the
striping bracket with the hole in the short leg of each
mounting bracket installed on the skids (

Figure 1

).

3.

Secure the striping bracket to each mounting brackets
with the self-threading, washer-head screws (

Figure 1

).
