Pro parts manual.
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 in pre-season and post-season
clean-up. The blower, mounted on the right side of the
unit, is powered by Briggs & Stratton 900 Series or
6.5HP Vanguard. 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. Once the bags are full with
clippings, they can be released to make for easy
dumping.

2-20 Weight Kit Installation
The collection system requires that a weight kit is
installed to the front of the mower to counter-balance the
weight of the collection system, when filled with debris.
NOTE: The weight bracket is secured to the caster
mower frame, then the weight is added to the weight
brackets. It is recommended that two people perform this
procedure. If another person is not available, use a
rolling hydraulic floor jack to keep the weight into
position while you secure the weight to the weight
bracket.
Attach the weight bracket P#(B0523) to the front frame
of the mower using the existing holes. Secure the weight
bracket using (2) 1/2”-13 x 1” HHCS P#(K1231) and (2)
1/2”-13 nylon flange locknuts P#(K2012). Refer to Figure

cable kit to the right, moving the smaller end of the slot
over the rivets. When positioned correctly, the throttle
spring plate will snap into place (Figure 2-22b).
To remove the throttle cable kit, lift the throttle spring
plate and slide the throttle kit to the left.
Route cable over the upper hose as shown in Figure 2-
22c.
Secure the throttle cable to the blower housing assembly
using (1) J-Clip P#(K1455). Use the existing hardware
from the blower housing to secure the J-Clip, as shown
in Figure 2-22c.
To fasten the throttle cable end to the engine, place the
throttle control lever into the “stop” position. Rotate the
engine throttle lever to the “stop” position. Thread the
wire end of the throttle cable into the engine throttle lever
eyelet and tighten the screw. Fasten the throttle cable
sleeve to the clamp on the engine throttle (Figure 2-22d).
Rotate the throttle control lever into the “fast” position to
check for proper installation.
NOTE: Cable sleeve may need to be cut, depending on
the engine type. Once throttle cable is attached, lift the
plastic top assembly and make sure that the throttle
cable does not interfere with the movement of the plastic
top.
