Setting up your Tractor
Hitch Plate Kit Installation (optional)
The DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum requires a Pin Hitch hole on your Lawn Tractor. DR Power Equipment offers several different
Hitch Plate Kits if one is not provided on your Tractor (Figure 64). Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call one of our
representatives at 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) and they will be happy to assist you.
Deck Adapter Installation
The DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum requires a Deck Adapter on your Lawn Tractor to
route material to its 8" diameter hose.
A DR Power Equipment Universal Deck Adapter Kit (for right hand
discharge mowers) is available for you to fit to your machine if the
tractor manufacturer’s Deck Adapter is not available.
A DR Power Equipment Hose Adapter Kit is available to attach to your
non DR Power Equipment Deck Adapter to our 8" diameter Hose if
needed.
Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call one of our representatives at 1-800-DR-
OWNER (376-9637) to order a Universal Deck Adapter Kit or Hose Adapter Kit.
1. Install the Deck Adapter onto your Lawn Tractor (Figure 65).
2. If you do not have a DR Deck Adapter and the 8" Hose will not fit your
Adapter, order a Kit from us using the contact info above. Install the Hose
Adapter Kit onto the end of your Deck Adapter as described in the Kit
instructions.
Connecting the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum to your Mower
1. Position the back Hitch Plate of your Mower near the Hitch of the Leaf and
Lawn Vacuum on level ground (Figure 66).

operate the jack handle to raise the Hitch then move the Leaf System Hitch
over the Lawn Tractor Hitch Plate.
