DESCRIPTION
1-1 Introduction
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.
NOTE: All references made to right, left, front, rear, top
or bottom are as viewed from the normal operator’s
position on the mower.
1-2 Description
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 in pre-season and post-season cleanup. 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 cutting deck back to the (2) - 4 cubic foot
collection bags P#(G0003) at the rear portion of the
mower frame. The operator can engage the blower with
a spring-lock engagement handle on the right side of the
unit. Once the bags are full with clippings, they can be
easily released for dumping.
2-1 Preparation Of Mower
From the underside of the engine, disconnect the wiring
harness attached to the electric clutch. Remove the bolt
and electric clutch from the mower. Refer to Figure 2-1a.
Remove the D-drive spacer using an arbor press or
equivalent. On removal, adjacent bearing OUTER race
must be supported or bearing damage may occur. Refer
to Figure 2-1b.
Figure 2-1a
The engine pulley assembly must be installed using an

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-1 General Safety
Only qualified people familiar with this operator’s manual
and the mower’s operator’s manual should operate this
machine.
3-2 Operation And Tips On Mowing
A. Perform BEFORE EACH USE the maintenance list
in paragraph 4-1.
B. Start mower.
C. With the mower at high idle speed, engage the mower
deck.
D. While seated in the operator’s seat, pull the
engagement handle of the PTO assembly towards
the operator’s seat until the handle slides into
position in the retaining slot. With the PTO assembly
engaged, you can proceed to operate the control
levers of the mower.
NOTE: If the collection system does not appear to be
collecting the grass clippings, disengage the deck
and PTO assembly, then, engage the parking brake
and turn the mower off. Proceed to section 3-3, and
review the sections regarding PTO assembly
Installation and belt installation/removal and
adjustment. Check upper and lower hoses for any
clogs.
To obtain the maximum effectiveness from your
collection system the tips listed below should be
followed:
* Watch your speed- Normal conditions will allow a
speed of up to approximately 5 mph, but thick, heavy
damp conditions will require reduced ground speed.
* Mow with sharp blades- A sharp blade cuts cleaner.
A. To disengage the PTO assembly, slide the
engagement handle out of the retaining slot and push
the engagement handle away from the operator’s
seat.
WARNING: The PTO assembly blades will continue to
spin. DO NOT TOUCH the PTO assembly, pulleys,
or the belt until the tractor is turned off. DO NOT
adjust the belt tension until the mower is turned off.
Refer to the belt adjustment section of the manual.
3-4 Unloading The Collection System
NOTE: To determine when the collection bags are full,
follow the following steps:
A. Stop the forward movement of the mower.
B. Disengage the mower deck.
C. Disengage the blower.
D. Engage the parking brake.
E. Once the parking brake has been engaged, then and
only then, walk behind the mower and check the
collection bags by first unhooking the rubber strap
with S-hook that secures the plastic top, then lift the
plastic hood. Load in bags should not exceed the
height of the installed bag.
F. To remove the bags from the frame slide bags out and
turn bags over to deposit clippings.
G. Slide empty bags back onto the frame and secure
plastic top with the rubber strap with S-hook.
NOTE: Do not allow collection bags to become over-
filled as potential damage may occur to your
equipment. Also, be sure to clean the hood screen as
needed.
SECTION I - MAINTENANCE
* Wet grass and leaves will decrease effectiveness and
will increase horsepower requirements.
* Mow at higher cutting heights- Remove and mulch no
more than 2” of grass length with each mowing.
(Experts recommend not cutting off more than 1/3 of
the grass blade length at any given time.)
* Mow twice, at different height settings, (high, then low),
if grass is extra tall.
* Remember that horsepower requirements will vary with
the mowing conditions such as type and height of turf
grass, moisture content, amount of leaves, whether the
terrain is flat or hilly, etc.
4-1 Maintenance Checklist
NOTE: REMOVE PTO ASSEMBLY BEFORE
RAISING DECK FOR MAINTENANCE.
Before each use:
1. Check blades and spindles to be sure that no foreign
objects, such as wire or steel strapping bands, are
wrapped around them.
2. Inspect blades for wear. Replace if necessary. If it is
necessary to sharpen the blades, remove the blades
from the spindles before sharpening. DO NOT
sharpen blades while still attached to the mower.
24
3. Make sure all shields are in place and in good
condition. Repair or replace any missing or damaged
shields.
4. Perform lubrication per paragraph 4-2.
5. Listen for abnormal sounds, which might indicate
loose parts, damaged bearings, or other damage.
Correct any deficiency before continuing operation.
6. With the engine off, engage the blower assembly.
Check the belt tension and inspect the pulley belt for
cracks or tears.
4-2 Lubrication
Gearbox:
1. Every 20 hours of use: Check oil levels in gearbox.
2. First 60 hours of use: Change oil.
3. Every 100 hours of use: Change oil.
NOTE: Oil in gearbox should cover the gears. If not,
drain the gearbox and fill using an 80W-90 gear oil.
The gearbox ships with 6.0 oz. of oil, but we
recommend replacing with a measured 5.5 oz. to fill
the gearbox. DO NOT OVERFILL!
7. Check for wear or deterioration of the upper or lower
hoses. If there are any portions of the hose that have
been torn or worn through, replace immediately.
After Each Use:
1. Clean all debris from machine especially from the
container, underneath the belt shields, and safety
decals. Replace any missing or illegible decals.
2. Inspect the unit for worn or damaged components.
Repair or replace before the next use. Any
replacement component installed during repair shall
include the component’s current safety decal specified
by the manufacturers to be affixed to the component.
3. Under normal usage, the bag material is subject to
deterioration and wear and should therefore be
frequently checked for necessary replacement. Any
replacement bag should be checked to ensure
compliance with the original manufacturer’s
recommendations or specifications.
4. Check belt for proper tension.
Blower Assembly:
NOTE: The following is for older PTO models that
contain a greaseable zirc fitting. Newer models
contain maintenance-free bearings and are without
a greasable fitting.
.
1. On initial use: Grease the fitting on the blower shaft.
2. Every 25 hours of use: Re-grease the grease fitting.
NOTE: Use only white lithium based grease for
lubrication of the shaft on the blower assembly.
