ASSEMBLING THE DECK ADAPTER
(#62468) TO THE MOWER DECK

Position the adapter over the deck opening, and check
for fit of cutout as shown in figure 29. Trim cutout, if
necessary, to allow tilting of adapter, keeping the fit as
close as possible for best vacuum suction.

NOTE: Not all of the parts in the deck adapter hardware
package wil! be used for any one particular fit up.

NOTE: Make sure adapter clears gauge
wheels on mower deck

Remove the mower discharge deflector from your
mower deck. Save the deflector and hardware for
remounting deflector.

IF YOU HAVE A MURRAY TRACTOR WITH A 38"or

IF YOU HAVE A MURRAY TRACTOR WITH A 46"
DECK, SKIP DIRECTLY TO PAGE 18.

CAUTION:

Curl on deck may be located outside of
adapter or inside depending on deck
opening design

Mower deflector must be

replaced when Vac System deck adapter
is removed. Do Not operate mower
unless adapter or deflector is in place and
properly moun_ed.

FIGURE 29

Identify your mower deck (see fold outs) and cut out
the correct discharge opening template for your
mower deck size. If there is no template for your
deck size you can make your own template by
marking around a piece of cardboard held against the
edge of the discharge opening.

Holding the adapter bracket and the deck adapter
together, position the deck adapter on the mower
deck. Keeping the edge of deck adapter as close as
possible to the offset in the adapter bracket, see if
the slot in the adapter bracket can be aligned with
one or two of the deflector holes in your mower
deck's discharge opening. If the bracket can not be
located correctl_ using existing holes, it will be
necessary to drill one or two 5/16" diameter holes in
the deck. See figure 30.

Tape the template to the face of the adapter, locating
template approximately 1/2" from front and 1/4" down
from top of adapter. Keep as close to top as possible.
See figure 28. Mark outline of template on face of
adapter using white crayon, nai! or scriber. Drill a
starting hole inside the outline, then use a saber saw
or key hole saw to cut out the opening. See figure 28.

Use existing holes or drill 5/16"
diameter hole or holes.
