Section I
INTRODUCTION &
DESCRIPTION
1-1 Introduction
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.
NOTE: All references made to right, left, front, rear, top
or bottom are as viewed from the normal operator’s
position on the mower.
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 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 cutting deck back to the (2) - 4 cubic foot
collection bags P#(G0003) at the rear portion of the
mower frame. The operator can engage the blower with
a spring-lock engagement handle on the right side of the
unit. Once the bags are full with clippings, they can be
easily released for dumping.
Section II
INSTALLATION FOR USE
2-1 Preparation Of Mower
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.
Remove the D-drive spacer using an arbor press or
equivalent. On removal, adjacent bearing OUTER race
must be supported or bearing damage may occur. Refer
to Figure 2-1b.
The engine pulley assembly must be installed using an
arbor press or equivalent. Upon Installation, opposite
bearing inner race must be supported or bearing
damage may occur. Refer to Figure 2-1c.
Use engine pulley assembly #12 P#(A0728) for 48”
decks, and engine pulley assembly #4 P#(A0540) for 60”
decks. Fasten the engine pulley to the electric clutch
assembly using (1) 7/16” hi-collar lock washer
P#( ) and (1) 7/16”-20 x 5” HHCS P#(K0018) as K0140
shown in Figure 2-1d. The added pulley will power the
collection system. Torque the bolt to 55 ft./lbs. Re-
connect the wiring harness to the electric clutch.

the deflector mount bracket and the mower deck. Align
the front slot of the deck mount plate with the front set of
hardware on the deflector. Slide the deck mount plate to
the forwardmost position and insert the rear portion of
the deck mount plate between the deflector mount plate
and the mower deck. Align the rear slot in the deck
mount plate with the rear set of hardware on the
deflector. Refer to Figure 2-13c.

Locate the aluminum boot P#(E0021) and the boot plate
assembly P#(A1121). Secure the boot plate assembly to
the boot as shown in Figure 2-13k, using (2) 3/8”-16 x 1”
carriage bolts P#(K1182) and (2) 3/8”-16 nylon flange
locknuts P#(K2038).
NOTE: Insert the carriage bolts from inside of the boot
so that the threads are on top of the boot as shown in
Figure 2-13e. This will prevent grass clipping from
collecting on the bolt threads. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE
HARDWARE.
Position the boot as shown in Figure 2-13f. Align the
bushing in the boot plate and the bushing in the deck
mount plate. Insert the boot rod from the front of the boot
as shown in the figure. Refer to Figure 2-13f.
After the boot rod has been installed, slide the boot and
boot plate assembly forward or backwards until a snug fit
is achieved between the aluminum boot and the mower
deck. To maximize the effectiveness of your collection
system, you want to minimize any gaps between the
boot and the mower deck. When correctly installed there
should no gaps on the top and back edge of the boot.
Refer to Figure 2-13g.
Hold the boot in position so there are no gaps between
the boot and the mower deck. Then proceed to tighten
the deflector hardware shown in Figure 2-13h.
Hold the boot in position so that there are no gaps
between the boot and the mower deck. Then proceed to
tighten the hardware on the boot plate as shown in
Figure 2-13i.
Secure the boot rod using (1) hair pin clip P#(K0099) as
shown in Figure 2-13j.
