Installation
1. Remove the two bolts, flat washers and nuts
holding the washout port to the deck and remove
the washout port (Fig. 1). Save the washout port
and the bolts, nuts and washers for reinstallation
when removing the counterweight.
The washout port must be removed to install the
vac–bagger counterweight. This removal leaves open
holes in the top of the mower deck.
The cover plate included in this kit prevents debris

from being thrown out of the open holes in the
