i) Place the Universal Deck Adapter on its side
(
Figure 21) on the Template Board. Trace the
outline and cut the board to the outline. Make
note of the Front and Bottom on the Template
Board.
j) Draw a line 1/2” from the bottom edge of the
Template Board
(Figure 22). This represents the
bottom of the Discharge Chute or Baseline.

k) Using
HEIGHT
A. from Step c) on page 12, draw
a horizontal line across the Template at the A
Height above the baseline. Do the same for
HEIGHT
B
at the rear of the Template. These
lines will insure that your Wire Template in the
next step will be horizontally accurate.
l) Center the formed Wire (right and left) on your
Template Board
(Figure 23), and bring the
formed Wire to the horizontal HEIGHT A and
tape it to prevent movement. Repeat the process
for the B HEIGHT at the rear edge of the
Template Board and tape it in place.

m) Tape the front and rear ends of the Wire and
then trace the contour of the Wire on to the
Template Board
(Figure 23).
n) Cut the contour out of the Template Board
(Figure 24).
NOTE:
Before tracing the Template contour directly on
the Universal Deck Adapter, it is best to try fitting
the cut Template to your Mower Deck to note any
problems. This will reveal minor fit problems,
particularly in the area near the bottom of the
Discharge Chute where flanges and other
transitions occur. Cut and tape to modify the
template as needed to accept these subtle contour
changes. Apply the adjusted template to the
Universal Deck Adapter
(Figure 25) and trace the
final contour.
