Mounting Bracket Assembly

NOTE: 

For convenience, pivot the seat forward and

leave it in that position until the grass collector is fully
mounted and assembled.

Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin from the rear 
of the mounting bracket assembly.

Position the hooked ends of the bracket assembly 
to the outside of the hitch plate and over the 
shoulder bolts. See Figure 13.

Figure 13

Reinsert the clevis pin through the aligned holes in 
both the bracket assembly and the hitch plate and 
secure with the hairpin clip. Refer to Figure 6.

IMPORTANT:

 There are two holes in the clevis pin. Be 

sure to insert the hairpin clip in the 

upper

 hole to 

properly secure the bracket assembly to the hitch plate.

Attaching the Grass catcher Cover and Bags

Place the grass catcher cover assembly’s support 
tube in position on the rear of unit by sliding the 
support tube down through the holes in the left side 
of the bracket assembly. Use the 

inside

 hole on the 

bracket assembly regardless of what size deck your 
tractor is equipped with. Refer to Figure 7.

Place the grass catcher cover assembly in position 
so that the support tube rests on the right side of 
the bracket assembly. Allow the plastic cover to rest 
in the “open” position.

Attach the grass bags using the slots shown in 
Figure 14.

Close the grass catcher cover.
