1-1 Introduction
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.
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 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.
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.
Section II
INSTALLATION FOR USE
2-1 Preparation Of Mower
Carefully dismantle wooden shipping crate from around

universal PTO P#(A0623) using (3) 1/4”-20 x 3/4” HHCS
P#(K1222) and (3) 1/4”-20 nyloc nuts P#(K1128).
Before fastening, make sure that there is room for the
handle to engage and disengage without the handle
hitting the fuel tank. See Figure 2-6 for reference.
2-7 Cam Assembly Adjustment
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 2-7).
2-8 Exhaust Deflector Installation
Fasten the exhaust deflector P#(C0058) to the
underside of the PTO mount plate assembly P#(A0846)
and fasten using (2) 1/4”-20 x 3/4” HHCS and (2) 1/4”-
20 nyloc nuts. See Figure 2-8.
2-9 Lift Handle Installation
The various parts of the handle assembly P#(A0273)
must be attached to the container frame. Page 10
shows the orientation and location of the components.
Slide the lift handle into the slot in the handle mount
bracket P#(B1730) on the grass container. It may be
necessary to remove the handle grip P#(J0522) to allow
the handle to fit through the slot.
Before attaching the handle, hook one end of the spring
P#(J0176) into the hole on the underside of the handle.
Hook the other end of the spring into the open hole in
the handle mount bracket. Fasten the handle to the
grass container frame by using (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS
P#(K1208) and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). At
this point the handle can pivot back and forth in the slot
of the handle mount bracket. With the handle in place,
fasten the ball joint P#(K1442) to the end of the latch
rod P#(A0260) (Page 10). Tighten to approximately half
way down the threads of the latch rod. Slide the ball
joint into the hole on the latch hook P#(B1529). Use (1)
5/16”-24 hex nut P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16” lock washer
P#(K0043) to fasten the ball joint to the latch hook.
Attach the opposite end of the latch rod into the handle.
Fasten the rod to the handle by using (1) 3/32” x 3/4”
cotter pin P#(K0094). Adjust the rod to allow the hook to
close the box door completely.

2-13 Impeller Blade
Removal/Replacement
To Remove: First remove the center bolt (#1), washer
(#2) and spacer (#3) from the taper-lock bushing (#5).
See Figure 2-13. Next remove the (2) 1/4”-20 bolts (#4)
and place them into the threaded holes of the taper-lock
bushing (next to the holes they were removed from).
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, hit the base of
the impeller, between each vein, with a hammer, then try
again.
To Replace: Place impeller blade over the engine shaft.
Slide the taper-lock bushing 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 HHCS grade
#8 bolts, (1) spacer washer and (1) HHCS bolt w/
washer. Torque to the proper specifications in the torque
chart on the back of this manual. Next, rotate the
impeller blade to insure that the blade is clear of contact
on all sides of the blower housing.

Thread (1) 5/16”-18 jam nut P#(K0120) onto each end of
(2) 5/16”-18 x 2-1/2” HHCS P#(K0125). Now partially
thread the bolts into each of the two tabs located on the
blower housing. Place blower cone so the two tabs line up
with the bolts then tighten completely. See Figure 2-12.

2-15 Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in steps 2-16. and 2-17. must be cut to fit
your machine. Follow steps 2-16. and 2-17. Do not cut
the hoses until you have tried to fit them on your
machine. Remember that the hoses have to be long
enough to adjust for the blower assembly’s movement
as well as allow for enough clamping surface between
the inlet, blower assembly, and the deck boot.
2-16 Upper Hose Installation
Slide a 5”-6” upper hose clamp P#(J6011) onto both
ends of the 6” upper hose (Figure 2-17). Then slide one
end of the 6” hose onto the inlet. Make sure there is
about a two-inch overlap between the hose end and the
container inlet. Proceed to slide the opposite end of the
6” hose onto the outlet of the blower assembly. See
Figure 2-17 for details. Make sure both ends of the hose
are clearly attached to the inlet and the blower assembly
inlet. Tighten the hose clamps.
2-17 Lower Hose To Blower Cone
Installation
Slide a 7”-8” hose clamp P#(J6006) over both ends of
the lower hose. Then proceed to slide the lower hose
onto the blower cone. Tighten the hose clamp. The
assembly should look like Figure 2-17.
2-14 Boot To Mower Deck Installation
Remove the grass deflector (Figure 2-14a.) from the
mower deck by lifting the deflector and removing the
deflector rod and spring (Figure 2-14b.). Remove the
deck finger guard and existing hardware (Figure 2-14b.).
Fasten the boot plate P#(B2555) to the boot P#(E1031)
using (2) 3/8”-16 x 1” carriage bolts and (2) 3/8”-16
flange nuts. Insert the carriage bolt from the inside of
the boot before fastening, to prevent grass from
potentially building up on the threads. Insert the boot
rod P#(B4331) into the holes on the mower deck, fasten
with a (1) hair pin clip P#(K0099), then attach the boot
and boot plate to the mower deck (Figure 2-14c.)

2-18 Lower Hose To Boot Installation
Take the unattached end of the lower hose and slide it
over the circular end of the boot. Use the lower hose
clamp to secure the hose to the boot (Figure 2-16). Tip:
Before securing clamp rotate hose counter-clockwise
(away from yourself) approximately 1” to add in retaining
boot to mower deck.
2-19 Front Weight Installation
Fasten the weight brackets P#(B0026) to the weight
P#(B2220) using (2) 1/2”-13 u-bolts P#(K0331) and (4)
1/2”-13 flange nuts P#(K1246). It is recommended that
you have someone help you lift the weight on the wheel
frame. Fasten the weight to the wheel frame using (2)
3/8”-16 u-bolts P#(K1119) and (4) 3/8”-16 flange nuts
P#(K1215). See Figure 2-19a. for reference.
