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 ZT mower. This manual is provided to give you the necessary instructions to properly mount and operate the collection system on your ZT 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 ZT mower.

1-2 Description

The collection system is designed for turf maintenance where there is a need to collect the grass clippings as the ZT 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 ZT 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.
