ASSEMBLE HOPPER

LEA EL INSTRUCTIVO!
Si no lee Ingles, pida ayuda a
alguien que si lo lea para que le
traduzca las medidas de seguridad.
Only use grass collection system with dual tailwheel option.
Assembly of hopper will be easier if assembled upside
down on a flat surface, see Figure 2. Note that Figure 1
shows hopper in the upright position.
NOTE: When assembling the hopper, make sure bolts
that will interfere with grass clippings are installed with
heads on the inside. This will prevent clippings from
catching on bolts when the grasscatcher is dumped.
Leave hardware loose until hopper is assembled.
1. Lay top section upside down on a flat surface,
using Figure 1 as a guide for assembly.
NOTE: Do not install bolts in side holes where
upper and lower crossmembers will mount (refer to
Figure 4, items 12 & 15).
2. Attach side panels (6, 7), upper front panel (8) and
back panel (9) to hopper top (1). Make sure side
panel corners are outside the front and back
panels as shown in Figure 2.
3. Fasten bottom panel (11) to the side panels and to
the outside of the front panel (Figure 1).
