Connecting the Inlet Hose to the Deck Adapter
1. Turn the Tractor as far as it will go to the left ensuring that the
Tractor is not touching any portion of the Leaf Vacuum (Figure 67).
2. Slide the Hose Cuff over the Deck Adapter (Figure 68).
Tip: Position the Thumb Screw Clamp toward the Mower so it will not
make contact with objects when mowing.
3. Tighten the Thumb Clamp tightly to secure the Hose to the Hose
Adapter.
• If the Hose does not appear overly stretched and is not touching the
ground, continue to "Adding Engine Oil and Gasoline" on the next
page.
• If the Hose is overly stretched, you may need a hose extension.
Contact us at www.DRpower.com for a hose extension kit.
• If the hose is sagging to the ground, shorten it as follows.
Shorten the Hose:
Make sure you do not shorten the Hose too much while following these
procedures. Follow the steps closely to ensure parts are not damaged.
Note: The Tractor must be turned fully to the left (Figure 67).
a. Remove the Hose Cuff from the Deck Adapter, position it next to
the Deck Adapter flange and pull carefully until the Hose is no
longer touching the ground (Figure 69).
b. Make a mark where the Hose aligns with the end of the flange.
c. Loosen the Bridge Hose Clamp that secures the Hose to the Hose
Cuff with a 7mm Wrench and pull the Cuff from the Hose.
d. Trace the area to cut around the Hose first to ensure your path
meets at the opposite side (Figure 70).
e. Cut the black Rib with Wire Cutters and then cut the clear Hose
with the Utility Knife.
f. Reinstall the Cuff onto the Hose and tighten the Hose Clamp.
Install the Cuff to the Deck Adapter (Figure 68).
