INSTALLATION FOR USE
2-1 Preparation Of 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 and 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 back to the 12 cubic
foot aluminum box at 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, the operator can easily push
and raise the dump handle, opening the rear door on the
container and pivoting the box to the ground. Once
empty, the operator can easily lower and pull the dump
handle, pivoting the box back into position and closing
the door.
Remove deck drive belt from the clutch pulley (refer to
your Country Clipper operator’s manual). 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 2-1a.
1-1 Introduction
Section II
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 2-1b.
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 - Try carefully hitting the base of the impeller blade
(#1), between each vein (#12), with a rubber mallet to
loosen the taper-lock bushing hold.
To Replace: First, place the impeller blade (#1) over the
drive shaft (#13). Next, slide the taper-lock bushing (#9)
on to the drive shaft and into the impeller blade, aligning
the non-threaded holes (#14) of the taper-lock bushing
to the threaded holes of the impeller blade. Then, fasten
by using two 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#10), one spacer
bushing (#8) one taper lock bushing washer (#7), and
one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” HHCS (#6). Torque all bolts to the
specifications located in the chart towards the back of
this manual. Last, rotate the impeller blade to ensure
that the blade is clear of contact on all sides of the
blower housing.
Tips on removing impeller blade;
2 - Spray break-free lubricant into the surrounding areas
of the taper-lock bushing (#9) and repeat Tip 1.
To Remove: First, remove one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” HHCS
P#(K1211) (#6), one taper-lock bushing washer
P#(K0278) (#7) and one spacer bushing P#(S3242) (#8)
from the taper-lock bushing (#9). See Figure 2-20. Next,
remove two 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#10) and place them
into the threaded holes (#11) of the taper-lock bushing
P#(S4302). Last, gradually thread each bolt evenly into
the taper-lock bushing, forcing the blade to break-away
from the taper-lock bushing.
To gain impeller blade (#1) access, first remove the
blower cone (#2) from the blower housing, located on
the PTO assembly P#(A1821), by removing two blower
cone bolts and nuts (#3). Next, remove the blower
housing front (#4) by removing seven bolts and nuts (#5)
around the outer housing edge. Refer to Figure 2-20.
