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
arbor press or equivalent. Upon Installation, opposite
bearing inner race must be supported or bearing
damage may occur. Refer to Figure 2-1c.
