Here's how you install the GroundKeeper, the new lawn mower deck weight kit from Lawn Crack. You can do it in under 3 minutes without any tools.

Rest the rubber strips across your mower's frame rail as shown below.
1-inch wide frame rails - you must add a note or email us so we can add additonal rubber slips to your order before shipping - will use three 1/4" thick strips of rubber and one 1/32" thick strip of rubber for each side.
1.5 inch wide frame rails will use two 1/4" thick strips of rubber and one 1/32" thick strip of rubber for each side.
2 inch wide frame rails will use one 1/4" thick strips of rubber and one 1/32" thick strip of rubber for each side.
2.5 inch wide frame rails will use one 1/32" thick strip of rubber for each side.
Step 2
Set the weigth on top of the rubber strips.
Step 3
Push it down as far as it will go.
Step 4
Secure it with the strap.

Ground Keep Lawn Mower Deck Weight Tips
A couple of tips we have when installing the Ground Keeper lawn mower deck weights is to position the wider side of the weight towards the center or front of your mower if space allows. Doing so will increase the effectiveness of the weights but if space does not allow, there will not be much of a noticeable difference in performance.
Make sure the strap it tight! Really pull it snug to secure it to your mower's frame. Make sure the excess strap is not going to get caught by any other parts on your mower. We recommend to secure the excess strap length instead of cutting it so you can use that excess for leverage if you remove and reinstall the weights in the future.
If overtime the powder coating begins to thin or wear away, use a black spray paint with rust protection to recoat the weights.
