Figure 2-1d
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#(G0013-L) at the rear portion of the
mower frame. The operator can engage the blower with
a toggle switch mounted on the control panel to the right
of the operator. 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 2-1b
The engine pulley bushing #31 P#(S0220) may need to
be installed using an arbor press or equivalent. If
pressed, opposite bearing inner race must be supported
or bearing damage may occur. Refer to Figure 2-1c.

(Note: It is recommended that someone assist during this step.)
Insert the Drive Assembly into the receiver tube on the Mount Arm Assembly until the Knob Plunger Pin engages.
Once in place, turn Lock Handle clockwise until tight. Next, feed the AK83 Belt P#(M0315) between the Belt Guard
and the Idler Mount Assembly. Place belt around the Engine Drive Pulley on the underside of the mower. While
one person inserts a screw driver (or similar tool) into the Idler Mount Assembly and rotates lever arm clockwise,
enough to relieve all tension from belt, place belt around the Drive Assembly Pulley. Once the belt is in position,
carefully release the tension to tighten belt.

2-11 Boot To Mower Deck Installation
Figure 2-11b
Figure 2-11a
NOTE: The boot kit assembly is designed to fit the 48”,
54” and 60” deck. To ensure a snug fit between the boot
and the mower deck, follow the instructions in this step
thoroughly, and remove and tighten all hardware in the
sequence specified.
Note: Deflector not shown for clarity but must be installed during normal operation.
According to deck size, align marked holes and Boot holes.
Secure the boot mounting assembly P#(A2045) to the
aluminum boot P#(E0028A) using (2) 3/8”-16 x 1” carriage
bolts P#(K1182) and (2) 3/8”-16 nylon flange locknuts
P#(K2038). Insert the carriage bolts from the inside of the
boot so the threads are on the outside of the boot (Figure
2-11a). This will prevent grass clippings from collecting on
the bolt threads. Leave bolts loose for alignment once
installed on mower.
After removing only the wing knobs align the threaded
mount posts, on the boot mounting assembly, with the
mounting holes located above the mowers discharge chute
and insert the into the mounting holes. Secure with the (2)
Wing Knobs P#(J0018). Press Boot against discharge
chute, to ensure a snug fit and tighten the two nuts on top
of the boot. Refer to Figure 2-11b.
