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:

bottom are as viewed from the normal operator’s
position on the mower.

1-2 Description

The 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 good for picking up
leaves and twigs in pre-season and post-season clean­up.

The engine/blower/blade assembly, is mounted on the
right side of the unit. The blower draws grass clippings
from the discharge area of the cutter deck up to the
aluminum container mounted over the rear portion of the
frame. The operator can engage the
engine/blower/blade assembly by starting the engine.
Once the container is full of clippings, the operator can
easily push and raise the lift handle, releasing the
container’s rear door and the container will pivot towards
the ground.

Section II

2-3 Attaching The Lift Handle To The
Aluminum Grass Container

2-5 Aluminum Grass Container Inlet
Attachment

The various parts of the handle assembly P#(A0512)
must be attached to the container frame. Figure 5 shows
the orientation and location of the components. Slide the
lift handle into the slot in the handle mount bracket
P#(B1730) on the grass container. It may be necessary
to remove the handle grip P#(J0522) to allow the handle
to fit through the slot.

Before attaching the handle, hook one end of the spring
P#(J0176) into the hole on the underside of the handle.
Hook the other end of the spring into the open hole in
the handle mount bracket. Fasten the handle to the
grass container frame by using (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS
P#(K1208) and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). At this
point the handle can pivot back and forth in the slot of
the handle mount bracket. With the handle in place,
fasten the ball joint P#(K1442) to the end of the latch rod
P#(A0260) (Figure 6). Tighten to approximately half way
down the threads of the latch rod. Slide the ball joint into
the hole on the latch hook P#(B1529). Use (1) 5/16”-24
hex nut P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16” lock washer P#(K0043)
to fasten the ball joint to the latch hook. Attach the
opposite end of the latch rod into the handle. Fasten the
rod to the handle by using (1) 3/32” x 3/4” cotter pin
P#(K0094). Adjust the rod to allow the hook to close the
box door completely.

The inlet will need to be attached to the container
(Figure 8). Open the container, push the inlet from the
inside of the container through the hole in the container
to the outside. Orient the inlet opening to face the
ground. Use the tabs P#(B1668) inside of the box to hold
the inlet in place. It is recommended that two people
Perform this step. That way, one person on the inside of
the container can position the tabs, while the other
person tightens the bolts. Looking at the outside of the
container, the most difficult tab to tighten down will be
the tab at the 4-5 o’clock position. Tighten that tab first.
Then proceed to tighten the others.

2-6 Adjusting The Dump Mechanism

The linkage may be adjusted in two places, at the
adjusting screw P#(K1435) and the latch assembly
items. See Figures5&8forvisual clarification. To
change the door closure tightness, screw the adjusting
screw in or out. To adjust the latch, change the length of
the latch rod by screwing the latch adjusting ball joint in
or out. The latch hook pivot should be in the middle of
the slot in the latch hook pivot plate. Slide the pivot back
or forth and then re-tighten.

Refer to Figures 5,6,7,8, and 9 for exploded parts
drawings and photographs of the complete assembly.

2-14 Attachment Of The Lower Hose
To The Boot

The hoses in steps 2-12 and 2-13 must be cut to fit your
machine. Follow steps 2-12 and 2-13. 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
allow for enough clamping surface between the inlet,
blower assembly, and the deck boot.

2-12 Attachment Of The Upper Hose

Slide a 5”-6” upper hose clamp P#(J6011) onto both
ends of the 6” upper hose (Figure 14). 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 14 for details. Make sure both ends of the hose
are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower assembly
inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.

2-13 Attachment Of The Lower Hose
To The Blower Cone

Slide a 7”-8” hose clamp P#(J6006) 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 14.

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 14). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1” to add in retaining
boot to mower deck.

2-15 Front Weight Assembly
