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
INSTALLATION FOR USE
2-1 Preparation Of Mower
Carefully open the shipping box. The grass collection
system will have various parts located inside. Remove
and sort all parts for easy identification. Verify all parts
against the list on page 16 and 17. If parts are missing,
please contact PECO Inc. at [phone].
From the underside of the engine, remove the bolt and
bushing from the electric clutch assembly. Use a bungee
cord or similar device to hold the clutch in place while
the hardware is removed.
Replace the hardware removed with the engine pulley
assembly number 2 P#(A0419). Fasten the engine
pulley to the electric clutch assembly using (1) 7/16” hi-
collar helical spring lock washer P#(K0140) and (1)
7/16”-20 x 3-3/4” HHCS P#(K0350). See Figure 2-1a
and 2-1b for details.
The added pulley will power the collection system.
Torque the bolt to 55 ft./lbs.

bolt (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS 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 A50K P#(M0241) from the engine pulley
to the lower gear box pulley (Figure 2-7d). To tension the
drive belt, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise (Figure 2-
7c) 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 (2) bolts that secure
the gear box assembly.

Assembly Installation
Align the pivot brackets of the top assembly P#(A1028)
to the pivot point on either side of the upper frame
assembly P#(A0871). Place (1) 1/4” flat washer
P#(K0037) between each pivot point and fasten each
side by using (1) 5/16”-18 x 2-1/2 tap bolt P#(K0125)
and (1) 5/16”-18 nyloc nut P#(K1180). See Figure 2-11a.
When fastening leave nut slightly loose so that the top
can pivot freely.
2-12 Inlet Installation
With the top assembly P#(A1028) in the upright position,
insert the inlet P#(V0019) into the right hand hole in the
top assembly as shown in Figure 2-12a. Continue to
insert the inlet until the snap locks into place. The inlet

NOTE: 48”/52” DECKS USE BOOT P#(V1162)
NOTE: 42”/ 61” DECKS USE BOOT P#(V1166)
Raise the grass deflector on the mower deck. Fasten the
boot plate P#(B8143) to the boot P#(V1162) OR
P#(V1166) using (3) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” carriage bolts
P#(K1142) and (3) 5/16”-18 nyloc nuts P#(K1180). Insert
bolts from the inside of the boot so that the threads are
on the top outside of the boot. This will help to prevent
grass from collecting on the bolts. Refer to Figures 2-13a
and 2-13b.
Next, align the boot plate holes with the holes in the
mowing deck grass deflector mount. Place boot plate
#(B0288) to the inside then insert the boot rod through
all four holes and secure with (1) hair pin clip P#(K0099).
