We are pleased to have you as a PECO customer. Your
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.
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.
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 up to the aluminum container mounted
over 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 container is
full of clippings, the operator can easily push and raise
the lift handle, releasing the container’s rear door and the
container will pivot towards the ground.
INSTALLATION FOR USE
2-1 Preparation Of Mower
Carefully dismantle wooden shipping crate from around
the components. Cut retaining straps and separate the
parts. The collection system will have various parts
located inside. Remove and sort all parts for easy
identification.
The 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 good for picking up
leaves and twigs in pre-season and post-season clean-
up.

2-5 Belt Installation
Loosen the (4) bolts P#(K1191), (2) on each side, that
secure the gear box assembly to the PTO assembly
P#(A0623) (Figure 2-5a and 2-5b). Loosen the
adjustment bolt P#(K0348) until the gear box assembly
is at its far left adjustment (the gear box is moved toward
the mower’s engine pulley). Connect the kevlar cord belt
A61K P#(M0261) from the engine pulley to the lower
gear box pulley (Figure 2-5c). To tension the drive belt,
turn the adjustment bolt clockwise (Figure 2-5d) until
there is 1” of deflection, with 10-11 lbs. of pressure, at
the center of the belt between the engine pulley and the
gear box pulley. Once the correct tension of the belt is
achieved, tighten the (4) bolts that secure the gear box
assembly. The cam assembly P#(A0422), which controls the
blower belt tension, comes from the factory pre-adjusted.
If the belt is too tight or becomes too loose, remove the
hair pin clip P#(K0099) from the belt tension rod
P#(K0326) and pull the “L” end of the rod out of it’s hole
in the cam assembly. The tension rod may then be
screwed out to tighten the belt or screwed in to loosen
the belt. Replace the “L” end into the top hole in the cam
and replace the hair pin clip. Adjust the cam stop bolt
P#(K1159) to allow the cam to rotate slightly over center
when the blower is disengaged (Figure 2-6).
Fasten the exhaust deflector P#(C0058) to the underside
