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 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 engine/blower/blade assembly is mounted
on the right side of the unit. 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
by starting the external engine. 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.
