Safety Rules
SAFETY RULES
1. Know the tractor controls and how to stop quickly.
READ THE TRACTOR'S OWNER'S MANUAL.
2. Shut the engine off before attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting the Collection System.
3. Check the cart to make sure it is attached tightly to
tractor.
4. Check the latch handle to make sure it is engaged so
the cart's box is locked to the frame.
5. Look behind you to make sure the area is clear
before backing up.
6. DO NOT turn sharply when the tractor is alongside a
building or any object.
7. DO NOT carry passengers in the cart.
8. For added tractor stability and to prevent tipping or
loss of control:
a. Reduce ground speed on uneven ground and
when turning corners.
b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended that
the Collection System be kept only half full when
negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on slopes when
the Collection System is empty.
c. Mow up and down the face of slopes; never mow
across the face of any slope.
9. CAUTION: Objects may be thrown from mower.
For your safety:
a. DO NOT remove the cover while the mower blades
are turning. Shut off the engine before opening cover
or removing the grass chute.
b. Be sure the complete Collection System is in place
(cover secure and grass chute connected) before
operating the mower.
c. Do check the cart cover frequently for wear and
tear. Replace with a new cover for safety protection.
10.For best results when mowing grass set the mower to
cut from 1 to 2 inches of grass. If grass is exceptionally tall, set your mower as high a possible for first
cutting. Lower cutting height at succeeding cuttings
until proper height is reached. It may be necessary to
mow tall grass at a slower ground speed.
WARNING
Read these safety rules and the safety rules in
your tractor Operator’s Manual and follow them
closely. Failure to obey these rules could result
in loss of control of the vehicle, sever personal
injury to yourself, or damage to property or
equipment. The warning triangle in the test signifies important cautions or warnings which
must be followed.
WARNING
When the blower assembly is removed from the
mower deck, the deflector must be installed as
described in Operating Without Collection
System.

Cart Assembly
CART ASSEMBLY
1. Install the wheel assemblies (A, Figure 8) to the
frame (B). Place the head of the swivel wheel on the
end of the frame. Align the holes and place four 3/816 x 1 hex bolts up through the frame and head of
the swivel. Secure with four flat washers (13/32 I.D.,
7/8 O.D.) and 3/8-16 locknuts.
2. Install the U-bracket (A, Figure 9) to the bottom of the
box (B). Place the three 5/16-20 x 3/4 slotted truss
head bolts and three flat washers (11/32 I.D., 3/4
O.D.) through the inside of the box and the U-bracket. Secure with three 5/16 lockwashers and nuts.
3. Turn box upside down and install the frame to the U
bracket (Figure 10). Align the two prong end (A) in
the frame with the ends of the U-bracket and secure
with two 1/2-13 x 1-1/4 hex bolts and locknuts. DO
NOT over-tighten the locknuts, since the box pivots at
this point for dumping.
Note: The latch handle (A, Figure 11) is located on the
right hand side on cart, Mfg. No. 1691526 and on the left
hand side on cart, Mfg. No. 1692526.
4. Turn box with frame upright and install the latch handle (A, Figure 11) and two lift handles (B) as follows:
a. Latch Handle: Place one 5/16-18 x 1 hex bolt with
5/16 spring washer through the inside of the box.
Next place a 5/16 flat washer over the bolt on the outside of the box, the latch handle, a 5/16 flat washer, a
5/16 spring washer and a 5/16 nut and jam nut.
Tighten the nuts so that when the latch handle turns
the bolt and nut will not turn. (Be sure the cups of the
spring washers are facing toward the box surface on
both sides.)
b. Lift Handles: Install the two lift handles on the outside of the box. Place two 1/4-20 x 1/2 slotted truss
head bolts through the inside of the box and the lift
handle. Secure with two 1/4 lockwashers and nuts.

5. Install support tube (A, Figure 12) inside the box.
Align each end of the support tube with the two holes
at the front corner side of the box. Place one 5/16-18
x 1-1/2 hex bolt with a 5/16 flat washer and plastic
spacer through the top, outside hole of the box and
the support tube. Secure with a 5/16 locknut on the
inside. At the bottom hole place on 5/16-18 x 1 -1/2
hex bolt with a 5/16 flat washer through the box and
the support tube. Secure with a 5/16 locknut.
COVER ASSEMBLY
1. Refer to Figure 13. Unfold the cover and spread it out
on a flat, clean surface with the white dust shield side
up. The two 3/8 inch rods are threaded through two
sleeves inside the cover. The rod with the two bent
ends is called the frame rod (B), since it lays on top
of the box's frame. The rod with the two eyebolt ends
is called the support rod, since it supports the top,
rear side of the cover.
2. Thread the frame rod through the bottom sleeve of
the cover so that the two bent ends protrude through
the openings on each side. The openings (A) of the
sleeve are found next to the black cord loops.
3. Thread the support rod (A, Figure 14) through the
sleeve inside the cover.
4. Pick up the cover by holding the rods and place the
support rod inside the frame rod before hooking the
frame rod (A, Figure 19) through the eyelet of the
support rod (B) on each end.
5. Place the cover assembly over the support tube.
Insert the frame rod with the support rod attached
through the hole in the support tube and secure with
a flat washer (13/32 I.D., 7/8 O.D.) and safety clip (A,
Figure 16) on each side.

Cover Assembly
6. Install the sleeve clamp (C, Figure 17) to the connecting sleeve (A) with 1/4-20 x 1/2 slotted truss head
screw (D) and nyloc nut (E). Install the connecting
sleeve inside the collar of the cover and position
sleeve clamp (C) over the support tube (B).
7. Thread the straight rod (A, Figure 18), which has an
eyelet on each end, through the sleeve at the front of
the cover.
8. Pinch the black cord loop (B, Figure 19) and thread it
through the eyelet on each end of the rod. Next, pull
the loop over the top bolt (C) on each side of the box.
The rod gives added support to the cover at the front
of the box.
9. Inside the cover at the front, there is a long tab with
an eyelet on the end. Pull this tab over the top of the
support tube (A, Figure 20) and back under the support tube before threading it through the slot in the
cover. This locking tab (B) secures the cover to the
support tube when the cover assembly is locked into
the open position for dumping.
10.Install the six inch rubber strap (B. Figure 21) at the
back of the box. Hook the strap over the metal loop
(A) on the frame rod, which protrudes through the

and install the clevis pins (B) and springs clips (C).
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Clear Tube
To clean the clear mid-tube on the SunStar and
Sovereign series collection systems, wash with warm
water and mild soap or detergent. Use a soft, clean
sponge or cloth. DO NOT use abrasive, alkaline, or
petroleum based cleaners.
Cover
The cover can be rinsed with a hose when dirty. A dirty
cover will inhibit the fast flow of grass clippings into the
cover. Do not leave grass or leaves in the cart for a long
period of time.
Wheels
Lubricate the wheel assembly before using the cart and
as necessary thereafter. A grease fitting is located at
swivel base. Use SAE multi-purpose type grease.
Tires
The tire pressure should be 30 psi.
WARNING
Before opening the cover for any reason, engage
the parking brake, shut off the engine, remove
the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
WARNING
The cover is subject to wear and deterioration.
Check the cover frequently. Use an approved
replacement cover.

Operation
Figure 30. Emptying the Cart
CAUTION
The maximum weight capacity of the cart is 400
lbs. Do not exceed.
OPERATION
Before Operation
Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris
which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades.
Clean the tube with mild detergent (other products may
damage tube). The flow of grass can be seen through
the tube while mowing.
Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the day. If
grass is wet, plugging may occur.
For efficient bagging, air circulation under the mower
deck, through the chute and into the bag is very important. For this reason, you should remove grass and
debris from underside of mower deck, discharge chute
and cover.
The blower, tube and elbow can be removed for cleaning.
During Operation
Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass is
too long or lush it may be necessary to keep ground
speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width to prevent clogging. If grass is high, operate with mower in
high cutting position. Cut the grass again in lower cutting
position, if desired.
The collector is full when grass builds at the window.
Always operate with throttle at full speed.
Dumping Grass and Leaves
1. Back the tractor to the desired place for unloading.
Shut the tractor's engine of before getting off the tractor's seat.
2. Unhook the strap from the door lock and raise the
cover assembly to the open position. Lock the cover
in place by hooking the strap to the locking tab in
place by hooking the to the locking tab (Figure 29).
Also see Figure 30.
3. Move the latch handle to the unlock position and
dump the cart's box using one of the front lift handles.
The connecting sleeve will slide off the discharge
chute and the cart's box will dump at a 90° angle for
quick unloading.
4. If bagging the grass clippings is desired, the grass
can be pulled from the cart at the curve side into a
plastic lawn bag. Also, the grass can be dumped onto
a tarp for throwing into a trailer.
Figure 29. Opening the Cover

is 1/2 inch; if a
second number is present it represent the
threads per inch
When bolt or capscrew is identified as 1/2 - 16 x 2”, this
means the
Nominal size
, or
body diameter
is 1/2 inch; the
second number represents the
threads per inch
(16 in this
example, and the final number is the
body length
of the
bolt or screw (in this example 2 inches long).
