   Note: Ensure that the flange of the CE lower guard (the flange with the holes) is flat against the blower-chute bracket.

3. Mark the outline of hole 1 and hole 3 of the CE lower guard on the blower-chute bracket, and remove the CE guard (Figure 11).

4. Locate the marks on the blower-chute bracket, and center-punch the locations.

5. Drill 7 mm (0.28 inch) holes in the blower-chute bracket at the 2 center-punch marks (Figure 11).

Note: Install the CE lower guard with the blower assembly removed from the mower deck; refer to the E-Z Vac™ Blower and Drive Kit Installation Instructions.
