Section I - INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
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. The manuals are
provided to give you the necessary instructions to
properly mount, operate and maintain 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.
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 collection
bags at the rear portion of the mower frame. The
operator can engage the blower by switching the PTO
Switch to the ON position. Once the collection unit is full
with clippings, it can be easily released for dumping.

Upon removal of clutch determine if your mower is
equipped with a D-drive spacer. If so, proceed to Figure
B. If your mower is equipped with a bolt, fender and lock
washer without D-drive spacer proceed to Figure C.
Remove the D-drive spacer using an arbor press or
equivalent. On removal, adjacent bearing OUTER race
must be supported or bearing damage may occur. Refer
to Figure B.
From the underside of the engine, disconnect the wiring
harness attached to the electric clutch. Remove the bolt
and electric clutch from the mower. Refer to Figure A.
Preparation Of Mower
NOTE: The mower deck PTO belt must be removed from the electric
clutch before continuing with the installation. Refer to your mower’s
owner’s manual for instructions on PTO belt removal.
NOTE: Engine Pulley Installation is for PTO Models only.
The engine pulley assembly must be installed using an
arbor press or equivalent. During installation, opposite
bearing inner race must be supported or bearing
damage may occur. Refer to Figure D.
Once the Engine Pulley Bushing is installed, reattach
the clutch assembly & deck PTO belt to the mower and
then review Figure E.
To assemble and fasten the Engine Pulley, align the
Engine Pulley Bushing to the mower’s clutch pulley and
fasten using (1) Clamp Washer, (1) Lock Washer, and
(1) Hex Bolt. Torque the bolt to 55 ft./lbs. The added
pulley will power the collection system and should
resemble Figure F when installed.

Once in place, turn Lock Handle clockwise until tight. Next, feed the AK80 Belt P#(M0322) between the Belt Guard
and the Idler Mount Assembly. Place belt around the Engine Drive Pulley on the underside of the mower. While one
person inserts a screw driver (or similar tool) into the Idler Mount Assembly and rotates lever arm clockwise, enough
to relieve all tension from belt, place belt around the Drive Assembly Pulley. Once the belt is in position, carefully
release the tension to tighten belt.
Refer to the images below.
(Note: It is recommended that someone assist during this step.)

Lift Handle Installation
NOTE: Before continuing the Lift Handle installation,
have someone assist you in turning the Box Assembly
upside down. Insert (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS P#(K1208)
into the Lift Handle P#(A0897), and secure with (1) 3/8”-
16 Flange Nut P#(K1215). Thread the flange nut onto
the bolt upside down, as shown in Figure A. Do not
tighten the nut fully at this time.
Slide the Lift Handle through the slot on the Handle
Mount Bracket. Insert the Lift Handle into the Box Frame
as shown in Figure B, and secure using (1) 3/8”-16
Flange Nut P#(K1215) on the inside of the Box as shown
in Figure C. Now test the movement of the handle. It
should have full-range of movement in the slot. If the
handle does not have full-range of movement, adjust the
3/8”-16 Flange Nut from step A. Once achieved, tighten
the fasteners.
Fasten the Ball Joint P#(K1442) to the end of the Latch
Rod P#(A2107). Tighten the Ball Joint to approximately
half-way down the threads on the Latch Rod. Attach the
Ball Joint to the Latch Hook as shown in Figure D, using
(1) 5/16”-24 Hex Nut P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16” Lock
Washer P#(K0043).
Attach the other end of the Latch Rod to the Lift Handle,
as shown in Figure E. Attach one end of the Spring
P#(J0176) to the Lift Handle and the other end of the
Spring to the Handle Mount Bracket as shown in Figure
F. Adjust the Ball Joint up or down on the Latch Rod
threads until the Latch Hook closes completely. After
adjusting the Latch Hook, secure the Latch Rod to the
Lift Handle using (1) Cotter Pin P#(K0094).

Aluminum Box Assembly Installation
NOTE: It is recommended that two extra people assist
in mounting the Box Assembly. Two can lower the Box
onto the frame while the third person inserts the Pivot
Pins P#(K0172) through the holes. Insert the Pins from
the outside to the inside. Secure with (1) 5/8” Washer
P#(K0058) and (1) 5/32” x 2-5/8” Hair Pin Clip
P#(K0088) per Pivot Pin (Figure B). Reattach the bottom
ends of the door opening linkages to the Main Frame by
using (1) Rue-Ring Cotter Pin P#(K1437) per side. To
test the functionality of the dump mechanism, pull the Lift
Handle away from the unit, and lift upward. The Door of
the Box Assembly should open and the Box should pivot
clockwise towards the ground.
The mechanism may be adjusted in three places, at the
Adjusting Screw P#(K1435), at the Latch Hook Pivot Bolt
and the linkage Ball Joint. To change the door closure
tightness, thread the Adjusting Screw (Figure C) in or out
or by adjusting the Latch Hook Pivot Bolt within its’
mounting slot. To adjust the Latch Hook closure angle,
thread the Linkage Ball Joint in or out.

First, loosely secure the Boot Plate (Item #2) to the Aluminum Boot (Item #1) using (2) 3/8”-16 x 1” Carriage Bolts
(Item #3) and (2) 3/8”-16 Ny-Flange Lock Nuts (Item #4). Insert the Carriage Bolts from the inside of the Boot so the
threads are on the top of the Boot. This will prevent grass clippings from collecting on the threads. Refer to Figure B.

Next, position the Boot Plate to the deck edge rotated at 45° (#1) (refer to Figure C) aligning the Boot Plate to the
deck’s discharge chute mount bracket (#2). Secure the Boot Plate (#3) to the mower’s discharge chute mount bracket
by using (1) Boot Rod (Item #3) and (1) Hair Pin Clip (Item #4). Refer to Figure C.
With the Carriage Bolts still loose, adjust the position of the boot so that there is no gap between the mower’s
discharge edge and the Boot. Once the boot is correctly positioned, tighten all hardware.
