DR Power Tow-Behind Deck Adapter (September 2014 - Present) User Manual

Page 3

Note: Make sure the end of the Deck Adapter where the Hose will attach is not

hitting the Mower Scalping Wheels etc. It should point out a bit from the
side to avoid contact with Mower parts (Figure 10).

8. Place the Hinge Bracket onto the Deck Adapter with the Pin holes facing

down and slide a Pin from the Kit through the Hinge Bracket and the Bracket
on the Mower Deck (Figure 11).

Note: If the Hinge Bracket is too high so it does not rest flat on the Deck Adapter

there are two extra Plates in the Kit that can be installed under the Hinge
Bracket to lift it up. If the Deck Adapter is higher than the Hinge Bracket
then you will need to make the Deck Adapter cutout a litter taller.

Note: We have provided an extra Hinge Bracket in case your Deck does not have an

adequate Bracket. Remove the existing Bracket and replace as necessary.
The Hex Head Bolts in your Kit are for mounting the Bracket to your Deck.

9. Mark the hole locations of the Hinge Bracket onto the Deck Adapter.

10. Drill the holes into the Deck Adapter (Figure 12).
11. Install a Deck Boot Plate inside the Deck Adapter using the Carriage Bolts

provided (Figure 13).

12. Secure the Hinge Bracket to the Deck Adapter with Locknuts using a 1/2"

Wrench (Figure 14).

13. Install the Deck Adapter to the Mower with the Pin and Hitch Clips (Figure

15).
