Powered Collector

CONNECTION

To connect the Powered Grass Collector (PGC) to the D18/50
tractor, ensure both are on an even surface with the locking
levers (fig 3) on the collector facing the lift arms of the tractor.
Move the collector manually to the tractor. Lower the lift arms
using the auxiliary lift switch button (page 4) on the dash
console.

At the end of each lift arm you will find a locating lug. Slide the
channels on either side of the PGC over the lugs but do not
engage the locating lever yet. Ensure that the rubber flap at the
opening of the PGC located on top of the transmission grass
deflector.

INSTALLING THE DRIVE BELT

Place the drive belt over the PTO pulley (beneath the tractor
seat). Standing adjacent to the tractor, extend the belt with both
hands parallel to the ground. Now twist the belt to form a figure
‘8’ – the right hand up and the left hand down. In this position
place the other end of the belt over the Powered Collector pulley.
Be sure that this is installed the right way round otherwise the
brush will work in reverse and collection will be poor! Lock
locating lever (fig 3) over the lift arm lugs. Rotate the locking
clips over lift arm lugs. Connect net empty plug to socket as
shown in fig 1. To disconnect, reverse this procedure.

PTO DRIVE BELT TENSION

Engaging the locating lever tensions the belt which should not be
run too tight – to check the tension there should be a 19mm
deflection with light finger pressure (2Kgs) at a midway point
between PTO pulley and sweeper pulley. It is important after
attaching the sweeper to the tractor to check the belt tension and
adjust this if necessary this must be done before the sweeper is
put into operation and with the sweeper on the ground. With light
finger pressure, 2Kgs (4lbs) there should be a total deflection of
19mm (3/4") at midway point between PTO pulley and the
sweeper pulley. If a spring balance is available a pressure of 4-
5lbs (1.81-2.26Kgs) is required for a deflection of 3/4" (19mm).
If the belt tension is incorrect, it can be adjusted by movement of
sweeper locking levers on the threaded rod. Ensure the lock nuts
are suitably tightened after adjustment. N.B. Do not over-tighten
lock nuts as lever needs to pivot.

TO USE:

raise sweeper to transport position. A button on the left

hand side of the console (page 4) raises the Powered Collector to
the transport position. We recommend that you drive to and from
the area to be swept with the Powered Collector in this transport
position and with the PTO disengaged. When you reach the area
to be swept, lower the collector and then engage the brushes by
pushing the sprung PTO lever to the left to release and engage.

LOWER THE COLLECTOR

Using the Auxiliary lift switch on the dash, lower the collector.

REMOVE THE NET

When removing the net, we suggest you employ the assistance of
another person.
1. Partially open the Sweeper net (100mm(4")). Disconnect

opening rod by pulling back on sprung locking tube and
uncoupling from pin (fig 2).

2. Repeat either side.
3. Undo net locking clip (both sides), unhook levers from

locating pins (see fig 2).

4. With either person standing each side of the collector net, slide

the net off the locating arms.

5. Reverse operation for fitting.
