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.

Note: If equipped with a Donaldson air cleaner, unit must be rotated to make clearance for top main frame assembly. To rotate Donaldson air cleaner, loosen bolt on air cleaner bracket, rotate air cleaner forward as needed for clearance as shown in Figure 2-1, and tighten.

Figure 2-1.

Loosen Bolt To Rotate Air Cleaner

Donaldson Air Cleaner Rotated To Forward Position

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.

NOTE:

the exploded drawings on pages 7, 8 and 9.

before each step of assembly it will help to study

2-2 Top Main Frame Assembly Installaton

Place the main frame assemby P#(A0923) onto the rear of the mower and fasten by using (3) 3/8”-16 x 1” HHCS P#(K1191) and (3) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215) per side. See Figure 2-2 for details.

Per Leg.

2-3 Lift Handle Installation

The various parts of the handle assembly P#(A0273) must be attached to the container frame. Page 7 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) (Page 7). 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.

Refer to pages 7 and 8 for exploded parts drawings and photographs of the complete assembly. .
