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.
Introduction
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 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 up
and back to the aluminum container mounted to a three-
point hitch at the rear of the mower. The operator can
engage the engine/blower/blade assembly by starting
the engine. Once the container is full of clippings, the
operator can easily pull and raise the lift handle. Using
the lift handle, the operator releases the rear door, the
container pivots towards the ground, and the clippings
are dumped.
