Section I - INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
1-1 Introduction
We are pleased to have you as a PECO customer. Your
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.
LZ Models: Collection system requires installation of added weight kit
59A30037150 (A1149) for safe operation! SZ models do not require a weight kit.
Refer to Section 2-20 in this manual for weight kit installation instructions.
Contact your Cub Cadet dealer to order weight kit 59A30037150 (A1149).
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 and 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) - 4
cubic foot collection bags P#(G0003) 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.

2-14 Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in steps 2-15 and 2-16 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-15 and 2-16. Do not cut the
hoses until you have tried to fit them on your machine.
Remember that the hoses have to be long enough to
adjust for the blower assembly’s movement as well as
allow for enough clamping surface between the inlet,
blower assembly, and the deck boot.
2-15 Upper Hose Installation
Fasten the inlet to the plastic top by sliding the inlet from
the inside of the top to the outside and lock into place.
Slide a 6” hose clamp P#(J0060) onto both
ends of the 6” upper hose (Figure 2-17). Then slide one
end of the 6” hose onto the inlet. Make sure there is
about a two-inch overlap between the hose end and the
container inlet. Proceed to slide the opposite end of the
6” hose onto the outlet of the blower assembly. See
(Figure 2-17) for details. Make sure both ends of the
hose are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower
assembly inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.

2-16 Lower Hose To Blower Cone
Installation
Slide a 8” hose clamp P#(J0080) over both ends of the
lower hose. Then proceed to slide the lower hose onto
the blower cone. Tighten the hose clamp. The
assembly should look like Figure 2-17.
2-17 Lower Hose To Boot Installation
Take the unattached end of the lower hose and slide it
over the circular end of the boot. Use the lower hose
clamp to secure the hose to the boot (Figure 2-17). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1” to aid in retaining
boot to mower deck.

2-18 Impeller Blade
Removal/Replacement
To gain impeller blade (#1) access, first remove the
blower cone (#2) from the blower housing, located on
the PTO assembly P#(A1821), by removing two blower
cone bolts and nuts (#3). Next, remove the blower
housing front (#4) by removing seven bolts and nuts (#5)
around the outer housing edge. Refer to Figure 2-18.
To Remove: First, remove one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” HHCS
P#(K1211) (#6), one taper-lock bushing washer
P#(K0278) (#7) and one spacer bushing P#(S3242) (#8)
from the taper-lock bushing (#9). See Figure 2-18. Next,
remove two 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#10) and place them
into the threaded holes (#11) of the taper-lock bushing
P#(S4302). Last, gradually thread each bolt evenly into
the taper-lock bushing, forcing the blade to break-away
from the taper-lock bushing.

Tips on removing impeller blade;
1 - Try carefully hitting the base of the impeller blade
(#1), between each vein (#12), with a rubber mallet to
loosen the taper-lock bushing hold.
2 - Spray break-free lubricant into the surrounding areas
of the taper-lock bushing (#9) and repeat Tip 1.
To Replace: First, place the impeller blade (#1) over the
drive shaft (#13). Next, slide the taper-lock bushing (#9)
on to the drive shaft and into the impeller blade, aligning
the non-threaded holes (#14) of the taper-lock bushing
to the threaded holes of the impeller blade. Then, fasten
by using two 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#10), one spacer
bushing (#8) one taper lock bushing washer (#7), and
one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” HHCS (#6). Torque all bolts to the

SECTION III
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.
3-3 Disengagement Of The Blower
A. To disengage the blower, rotate the engagement
handle towards the mower.
WARNING: The blower will continue to spin. DO NOT
TOUCH the blower, pulleys, or the belt until the tractor is
turned off. DO NOT adjust the belt tension until the
mower is turned off. Refer to section 2-5 of the manual.
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, rotate the
engagement handle of the collection system away
from the mower. Continue to rotate the handle until it
stops in an over center position. With the blower
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 blower, then, engage the parking brake and turn the
mower off. Proceed to section 3-3, and review the
section 2-5 and 2-6, in this manual.
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.
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 unlatching and lifting the top
assembly. Load in bags should not exceed the height
of the installed bag.
F. To release bags, slide each bag out (towards
operator) and turn bags over to deposit clippings.
G. Return each bag to the original location, lower top
assembly and re-latch to close .
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 IV
* Mow with sharp blades- A sharp blade cuts cleaner.
* 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.
MAINTENANCE
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.
36
Page 37
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 with genuine
PECO parts.
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. Check belt for proper tension.
