1-1 Introduction
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 and twigs in pre-season and post-
season clean-up. 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 cutter deck back to the (3) - 4.0
cubic foot collection bags P#(G0003) at the rear portion
of the mower frame. The operator can engage the blower
with a push of the over-center linkage on the right side of
the unit. Once the bags are full with clippings, they can
be released to make for easy dumping.
NOTE: all references made to right, left, front, rear, top
or bottom are as viewed from the normal operator’s
position on the mower.
INSTALLATION FOR USE
Remove deck drive belt from the clutch pulley (refer to
your Country Clipper operator’s manual). 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.
2-1 Preparation Of Mower
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.

drive shaft (#13). Next, slide the taper-lock bushing (#9)
on to the drive shaft and into the impeller blade, aligning
the non-threaded holes (#14) of the taper-lock bushing
to the threaded holes of the impeller blade. Then, fasten
by using two 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#10), one spacer
bushing (#8) one taper lock bushing washer (#7), and
one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” HHCS (#6). Torque all bolts to the
specifications located in the chart towards the back of
this manual. Last, rotate the impeller blade to ensure
that the blade is clear of contact on all sides of the
blower housing.
Tips on removing impeller blade;
2-20 Impeller Blade
Removal/Replacement
To gain impeller blade (#1) access, first remove the
blower cone (#2) from the blower housing, located on
the PTO assembly P#(A1821), by removing two blower
cone bolts and nuts (#3). Next, remove the blower
housing front (#4) by removing seven bolts and nuts (#5)
around the outer housing edge. Refer to Figure 2-21.
To Remove: First, remove one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” HHCS
P#(K1211) (#6), one taper-lock bushing washer
P#(K0278) (#7) and one spacer bushing P#(S3242) (#8)
from the taper-lock bushing (#9). See Figure 2-20. Next,
remove two 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#10) and place them
into the threaded holes (#11) of the taper-lock bushing
P#(S4302). Last, gradually thread each bolt evenly into
the taper-lock bushing, forcing the blade to break-away
from the taper-lock bushing.

To empty the bag, first unlatch and lift top, next remove
the bag and bag ring by sliding rearward, then grasp the
loop on the bottom of the bag, and last turn it upside
down to empty the collected debris (Figure 2-22d).
Repeat for the other bags. Reinstall all bags, line with
plastic bags if desired, close the plastic top and reattach
the draw latches.
Plastic lawn and leaf bags, 33 gallon size, may be used
inside the cloth bags. Be sure to leave enough plastic
bag hanging over the frame so the plastic bags can be
twist tied before emptying (Figure 2-22e).
2-23 Installation/Removal Of
Collection Bags
To prevent bag wear, install (2) red plastic end caps
P#(J0274), as shown in Figure 2-22a, on each bag ring
before installing bags.
IMPORTANT!
To install the bag onto the bag ring, place the seam
openings of the bag onto the bag ring openings and turn
the bag one full turn (360 ) so the plastic end caps are
located opposite to the opening in the bag (Figure 2-
22b). Do this for each of three bags.
Install the completed assemblies onto the support frame
and close the plastic top. Fasten both draw-latches to
hold the plastic top closed (Figure 2-22c).
