2-1 Preparation Of Mower
Your grass collection system has been designed to give
you a low maintenance, simple, and effective way to
collect the grass clippings from your mower. This manual
is provided to give you the necessary instructions to
properly mount and operate the collection system on
your mower. Please read this manual thoroughly.
Understand what each control is for and how to use it.
Observe all safety decal precautions on the machine and
noted throughout the manual.
all references made to right, left, front, rear, top
or bottom are as viewed from the normal operator’s
position on the mower.
The grass collection system is designed for turf
maintenance where there is a need to collect the grass
clippings as the mower cuts the turf. It is also used for
picking up leaves and twigs in pre-season and post-
season clean-up.
The blower, mounted on the right side of the unit, uses a
belt and gearbox system from the engine PTO shaft.
Drive train protection comes through belt slippage. The
blower draws grass clippings from the discharge area of
the cutter deck back to the (3) - 3.3 cubic foot collection
bags P#(G0002) at the rear portion of the mower frame.
The operator can engage the blower with a push of the
over-center linkage on the right side of the unit. Once the
bags are full with clippings, they can be released to
make for easy dumping.
Carefully dismantle the wooden shipping crate from
around the components. Cut the retaining straps and
separate the parts. The grass collection system will have
various parts located inside. Remove and sort all parts
for easy identification.
before each step of assembly it will help to study
the exploded drawings on pages 11-14.
From the underside of the engine remove the bolt and
bushing from the electric clutch assembly. Use a bungee
cord or similar device to hold the clutch in place while the
hardware is removed.
