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#(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.
Section II - INSTALLATION FOR USE
L Models: Collection system requires installation of
added weight kit 59B30037150 (A1149) for safe
operation! S Models do not require a weight kit.
Collection System May Require

Collection System May Require Dealer Installation!
Before installing, please verify the presence of an
auxiliary 5-way female connector in the mower’s
electrical harness. The connector is located underneath
the operator’s seat in between the two hydraulic pump
cooling fans.
Connect (A) the Delphi 5-way Male Connector, on the
harness, to the connection point under the seat and
between the two cooling fans. Next, on the left side of
the engine locate and separate the engine harness from
the mower’s main harness. Connect (B) to the engine
side connector and (C) to the main harness connector.
Refer to Figure 2-17a & 2-17b.
Route the Drive Clutch Connector (D) around the front
side of the engine, between the ROPS and gas tank and
through the opening in the rear bumper connecting to
the quick connect plug located on the PTO Drive.
Before routing the PTO Switch (E), locate and remove
knock out on the mower’s control panel. The control
panel is easily accessed by removing the (9) hex head
screws around the outside of the control panel housing.
Route (E) through the frame and up to the underside of
the control panel. Insert switch into the hole, previously
knocked out, and snap the provided retaining plate to the
underside of the control panel. The retainer plate (F)
should be seated fully over the snap wings of switch
from the underside of the panel after the switch is
installed. Connect the switch to connector and reattach
control panel.
Use the zip ties that are provided to secure in place.

2-18 Impeller Blade Removal/Replacement
To Remove: First remove the 5/16”-24 x 1-1/2” HHCS GR8 P#(K1465) (#1), Taper-Lock Bushing Washer P#(K0284)
(#3) and (2) Spacer Bushings P#(S0159) (#4) from the Taper-Lock Bushing P#(S0157) (#5). See Figure 2-18. 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 Impeller Blade to break-away from the
Taper-Lock Bushing. If the Impeller Blade will not move, carefully hit the base of the Impeller Blade, between each
vein, with a hammer, then try again.
To Replace: Place Impeller Blade over the engine shaft. Slide the Taper-Lock Bushing P#(S0157) (#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), (2) Spacer Bushing P#(S0159) (#4) (1)
Taper-Lock Bushing Washer P#(K0284) (#3), and (1) 5/16”-24 x 1-1/2” HHCS P#(K1465) (#1). Torque to the proper
specifications in the torque chart within the last pages of this manual. Next, rotate the Impeller Blade to ensure that
the Blade is clear of contact on all sides of the Blower Housing.
