Section I - INTRODUCTION &
DESCRIPTION
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.
Collection System May Require
Dealer Installation!
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#(G0013-L) at the rear portion of the
mower frame. The operator can engage the blower with
a toggle switch mounted on the control panel to the right
of the operator. Once the bags are full with clippings,
they can be easily released for dumping.
1-1 Introduction
NOTE: All references made to right, left, front, rear, top
or bottom are as viewed from the normal operator’s
position on the mower.
Section II - INSTALLATION FOR USE

To Replace: Place impeller blade over the engine shaft. Slide the taper-lock bushing (#5) on to the engine shaft
and into the impeller blade, aligning the non-threaded holes of the taper-lock bushing to the threaded holes of the
impeller blade. Fasten by using (2) 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#2), (1) spacer bushing (#4) (1) taper lock bushing washer
(#3), and (1) 5/16”-24 x 1” HHCS (#1). Torque to the proper specifications in the torque chart on the back of this
manual. Next, rotate the impeller blade to ensure that the blade is clear of contact on all sides of the blower
housing.
2-19 Impeller Blade Removal/Replacement
To Remove: First remove the 5/16”-24 x 1” HHCS P#(K0428) (#1), taper lock bushing washer P#(K0284) (#3), (2)
5/16 Flat Wahers P#(K0042) and spacer bushing P#(S0159) (#4) from the taper-lock bushing P#(S0157) (#5). See
Figure 2-19. Next remove the (2) 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#2) and place them into the threaded holes of the taper-lock
bushing (#5). Gradually thread each bolt evenly into the taper-lock bushing, forcing the blade to break-away from
the taper-lock bushing. If the impeller will not move, carefully hit the base of the impeller, between each vein, with
a hammer, then try again.
