Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific mower model, manufacturing number, serial number, and production revision before ordering.
• Some Homelite OEM suppliers identify 997000100 simply as “STORAGE.”
• Ryobi factory documentation provides the more specific component description “Front Pan Cover.”
• The Ryobi RYRM8001, manufacturing number 099261002, is a confirmed application for part number 997000100.
• Factory documentation identifies 997000100 as item 1 in Figure J and specifies one Front Pan Cover per mower.
• Do not confuse 997000100 Front Pan Cover with 997000091 Storage Cover. These are separate components within the same panel housing assembly.

• Do not select a replacement body panel based solely on appearance. Dimensions, contours, mounting locations, fastener positions, and production revisions can differ between mower models.
• Inspect the surrounding panel housing, mounting points, clip-on nuts, screws, hinges, and adjacent covers when replacing the front pan cover.
• If the original panel was damaged by impact, inspect the surrounding mower structure and mounting locations for cracking, distortion, or misalignment.
• Replace cracked, stripped, bent, broken, or otherwise damaged related mounting components as necessary.
• Install the replacement cover in the same factory position and orientation as the original component.
• Ensure all mounting points are correctly aligned before tightening the applicable hardware.
