Section I
INTRODUCTION &
DESCRIPTION
1-1 Introduction
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.
1-2 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 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 (2) - 2.9 cubic foot collection
bags P#(G0004) at the rear portion of the mower frame.
The operator can engage the blower with a spring-lock
engagement handle on the right side of the unit. Once
the bags are full with clippings, they can be released to
make for easy dumping.
Section II

NOTE: Before tightening the hose clamp, rotate the
lower hose counter clockwise (see Figure 2-19)
approximately 1” and then tighten the clamp. This will
hold the bottom edge of the boot tight to the mower
deck.

To empty the bag, first unlatch and lift top, next remove
the bag and bag ring by sliding rearward, then grasp the
loop on the bottom of the bag, and last turn it upside
down to empty the collected debris (Figure 2-20d).
Repeat for the other bag. Reinstall both bags, line with
plastic bags if desired, close the plastic top and reattach
the draw latches.
Plastic lawn and leaf bags, 33 gallon size, may be used
inside the cloth bags. Be sure to leave enough plastic
bag hanging over the frame so the plastic bags can be
twist tied before emptying (Figure 2-20e).
2-20 Installation/Removal Of
Collection Bags
IMPORTANT!
To prevent bag wear, install (2) red plastic end caps
P#(J0274), as shown in Figure 2-20a, on each bag ring
before installing bags.
To install the bag onto the bag ring, place the seam
openings of the bag onto the bag ring openings and turn
the bag one full turn (360 ) so the plastic end caps are
located opposite to the opening in the bag (Figure 2-
20b). Do this for each bag.
Install the completed assemblies onto the support frame
and close the plastic top. Fasten the draw-latches to
hold the plastic top closed (Figure 2-20c).

SECTION III
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-1 General Safety
Only qualified people familiar with this operator’s manual
and the mower’s operator’s manual should operate this
machine.
3-2 Operation And Tips On Mowing
A. Perform BEFORE EACH USE the maintenance list in
paragraph 4-1.
B. Start mower.
C. With the mower at high idle speed, engage the mower
deck.
D. While seated in the operator’s seat, pull the
engagement handle of the PTO assembly towards
the operator’s seat until the handle slides into
position in the retaining slot. With the PTO assembly
engaged, you can proceed to operate the control
levers of the mower.
NOTE: If the collection system does not appear to be
collecting the grass clippings, disengage the deck
and PTO assembly (Section 3-3), then, engage the
parking brake and turn the mower off. Check upper and
lower hoses for any clogs.
To obtain the maximum effectiveness from your
collection system, the tips listed below should be
followed:
* Watch your speed- Normal conditions will allow a
speed of up to approximately 4 mph, but thick, heavy
damp conditions will require reduced ground speed.
* Mow with sharp blades- A sharp blade cuts cleaner.
* Wet grass and leaves will decrease effectiveness and
will increase horsepower requirements.
* Mow at higher cutting heights- Remove and mulch no
more than 2” of grass length with each mowing.
(Experts recommend not cutting off more than 1/3 of
the grass blade length at any given time.)
* Mow twice, at different height settings, (high, then low),
if grass is extra tall.
* Remember that horsepower requirements will vary with
the mowing conditions such as type and height of turf
grass, moisture content, amount of leaves, whether the
terrain is flat or hilly, etc.
3-3 Disengagement Of The PTO
Assembly
A. To disengage the PTO assembly, slide the
engagement handle out of the retaining slot and push
the engagement handle away from the operator’s seat.
WARNING: The PTO assembly blades will continue to
spin. DO NOT TOUCH the PTO assembly, pulleys, or
the belt until the tractor is turned off. DO NOT adjust the
belt tension until the mower is turned off. Refer to
section 2-7 of the manual.
3-4 Unloading The Collection System
NOTE: To determine when the collection bags are full,
follow the following steps:
A. Stop the forward movement of the mower.
B. Disengage the mower deck.
C. Disengage the PTO assembly.
D. Engage the parking brake.
E. Once the parking brake has been engaged, then and
only then, walk behind the mower and check the
collection bags by first unhooking the rubber strap
with S hook that secures the plastic top, then lift the
plastic hood. Load in bags should not exceed the
height of the installed bag.
F. To remove the bags from the frame slide bags out and
turn bags over to deposit clippings.
G. Slide empty bags back onto the frame and secure
plastic top with the rubber strap with ‘S’ hook.
NOTE: Do not allow collection bags to become over-
filled as potential damage may occur to your
equipment. Also, be sure to clean the hood screen as
needed.
SECTION IV
MAINTENANCE
4-1 Maintenance Checklist
Before each use:
1. Check blades and spindles to be sure that no foreign
objects, such as wire or steel strapping bands, are
wrapped around them.
2. Inspect blades for wear. Replace if necessary. If it is
necessary to sharpen the blades, remove the blades
from the spindles before sharpening. DO NOT
sharpen blades while still attached to the mower.

16
3. Make sure all shields are in place and in good
condition. Repair or replace any missing or damaged
shields.
4. Perform lubrication per paragraph 4-2.
5. Listen for abnormal sounds, which might indicate
loose parts, damaged bearings, or other damage.
Correct any deficiency before continuing operation.
6. With the engine off, engage the blower assembly.
Check the belt tension and inspect the pulley belt for
cracks or tears.
7. Check for wear or deterioration of the upper or lower
hoses. If there are any portions of the hose that have
been torn or worn through, replace immediately.
After Each Use:
1. Clean all debris from machine especially from the
container, underneath the belt shields, and safety
decals. Replace any missing or illegible decals.
2. Inspect the unit for worn or damaged components.
Repair or replace before the next use. Any
replacement component installed during repair shall
include the component’s current safety decal specified
by the manufacturers to be affixed to the component.
3. Check belt for proper tension.
WRITE THE MODEL AND
SERIAL NUMBER IN THE
BOX TO THE LEFT
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
4-2 Lubrication
NOTE: Use only white lithium based grease for
lubrication of the shaft on the blower assembly.
1. On initial use: Grease the fitting on the blower shaft.
2. Every 25 hours of use: Re-grease the grease fitting.
3. Every 200 hours of use: Check oil levels in gear box.
Oil in gear box should cover the gears. If not, fill using
an EP90 weight oil. 6oz. will fill the gear box from
empty.
