Assembly
Initial Set Up
Attach TKV 20 to the tractor’s 3-point arms or Category 1
quick hitch.
Sizing the PTO Shaft
1. Slide PTO Shaft apart and connect the half with the
round hole to the TKV 20 and the spline half to the
tractor’s PTO shaft.
2. Lift and lower the 3-point arms to nd the position
where the two ends are closest together. Lay the two
sides of the shaft side by side and mark the amount
to be cut. Measurer this distance and cut the same
amount off both ends of the shields and both ends of
the shaft. Ensure that when the shaft is in the position
where the two shafts are farthest apart, there will still
be 1/2 of the shaft overlapping.
3. Cut the distance measured off each half of the shaft.
The guard should be cut back an additional 1.5-1.6
inches on each half to leave the end of the driveline
tube exposed.
4. Round off sharp edges and remove any burrs on
the driveline tubes. Apply good quality lithium
soap compatible E.P. grease (meeting the N.L.G.I.
#2 specication and containing no more than 1%
molybdenum disulde) to the outside of the smaller
diameter driveline tube.
5. Reassemble driveline halves together making sure they
slide (telescope) easily and ensure guards rotate freely.
WARNING: If the PTO shaft is cut too short, it can
disengage during operation and cause injury.
If you are unsure how to properly cut the PTO
shaft, please see your dealership.

Assembly
Connecting the PTO Shaft
1. Flip up the shield (A). With square key (B) in keyway
of the shaft, slide the PTO shaft onto the TKV 20 and
tighten the setscrew (C) to 28 +/-2 ft. lbs.
2. Connect the PTO shaft to the tractor’s PTO and
ensure lock pin (D) is engaged.
3. Lift the tractor’s 3-point arms up and down to ensure
that the PTO telescopes freely. Ensure that the PTO
shaft does not come apart when the 3-point arms are
at their highest point.
Blower Inlet Hose
1. Position mower deck in lowest mowing position.
2. Slide hose on front of blower as far as possible. Lay
other end beside the boot. Lift and lower the 3-point
arms to observe the distance between the boot and
the blower inlet. Cut the hose long enough to t in all
positions. The plastic can be cut with a utility knife,
but the wire requires wire cutters or a saw.
3. Slide clamp over hose and hose onto blower inlet.
Close the latch (A) to clamp. If clamp is too loose,
tighten the screw (B). To prevent stripping the screw,
unlatch before tightening.
4. Repeat step #3 on boot end.
5. Lift the tractor's 3-point arms up and down to ensure
that the blower hose moves freely.
6. Ensure that the blower hose does not contact
the ground during operation as this could cause
excessive wear or damage.

1. Install the two plastic end caps onto each foot of the
storage legs.
2. Lift TKV 20 with 3-point, remove the wire lock pin (A)
and the storage stand will drop off. With the shorter end
of the leg down slide the stand into the storage channel
(B), and fasten with the wire lock pin (C). Repeat this
step for the storage stand on the other side.
3. Set the stop down on the 3-point lever where the
PTO shaft sits horizontally. Adjust sway chains
and adjustable lift link on 3-point arms to level
attachment.
4. For hydraulic systems without position control, it is
recommended that the 3-point arms are chained to
ensure that the TKV 20’s PTO shaft remains horizontal.
Machine Set Up
Assembly
Repositioning the TKV 20’s 3-Point Hitch Pins
For wider tractors, the hose from the boot to the blower
may get close or touch the rear tire of the tractor. The
positioning of the TKV 20’s 3-point hitch pins can be
shifted to the right by 2-1/2" by following the steps below.
1. Remove the three shields (A).
2. Remove the side pin brackets (B and C), ip them
over and reinstall them in the opposite positions. B
is now reinstalled where C was, and vice versa. (This
allows the side pin to stay on the bracket). Reinstall
hardware and torque to 30 +/-1 ft. lbs.
WARNING: Place storage stands in storage
channel before mowing to prevent damage.
CAUTION: Operating PTO on an angle will cause
excessive wear or damage.

Operation
Before Operation
1. Make sure the lid is latched, the access door is
closed tightly and the hose is rmly connected and lid
extension is free to rotate outward.
2. Ensure that the tractor’s PTO Selection Lever on the
side console is in the position to allow the mid PTO
(mower deck) and the rear PTO (TKV 20) to operate.
3. Slowly lower the 3-point arms to a position where the
PTO shaft is horizontal for mowing.
4. For longer belt life on the mower deck and the TKV 20,
engage the PTO with the tractor at idle and throttle up
to full PTO RPMs. Lower the RPMs back to idle before
disengaging the PTO.
How to Determine If the Hopper is Full
NOTE: The rate at which the hopper lls is dependent upon
many factors including the type of material being collected
as well as its depth, moisture content and the tractor's speed.
NOTE: It is normal to have ne, dry grass escape from the
side panels during operation.
1. The lid fabric cover will begin to deate.
2. There will be a slight change upward in the pitch of
the blower.
Emptying the Hopper
1. To empty, disengage the PTO, lift the 3-point arms
all the way up and hold the rocker switch in the open
position until the tailgate is fully opened. Drive forward
away from the pile before closing. To close, hold the
rocker switch in the close position until fully closed.
NOTE: It is normal to hear the electric actuator make a
ratcheting sound when the PTO shaft is fully extended or
retracted while operating the rocker switch.
2. To prevent damage to the TKV 20, do not back up the
tractor while emptying material. Do not use the TKV
20’s tailgate to push material as damage may occur.
3. Lower the 3-point arms to position the PTO shaft
horizontally, engage PTO, and resume mowing.
WARNING: The TKV 20 will become unbalanced
when material is inside the hopper. Do not
disconnect the TKV 20 from the 3-point arms
or rest it on the storage stands while there is
material in the hopper.
Removal and Storage
1. Empty the hopper.
2. Lift the 3-point arms to their highest position.
3. Ensure that the storage stands are
installed at the lowest position and
that the tractor position labels (shown
at right) on both storage stands are
pointing towards the tractor.
4. If chains or a Stay Chain Kit were used
to prevent the TKV 20 from lowering
below the PTO horizontal position,
unhook the chains from
the tractor.
5. Disconnect and remove the wire to
the actuator switch.
6. Unlatch the hose clamps and remove the hose.
7. Lower the TKV 20 onto the storage stands.
8. Disconnect the tractor’s 3-point arms or quick hitch
from the TKV 20. This may require loosening the
tractor’s sway chains/links on the 3-point arms.
9. Disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor.
Transportation
1. Ensure that the SMV sign on the back of the TKV 20
is in front of the hopper lid extension and visible from
the rear.
2. Transport the TKV20 as low as possible.
3. Ensure that the hopper lid extension is secured in
its lowered position if transporting on a trailer at
highway speeds.

WARNING: Rotating blades are dangerous.
Troubleshooting
Below are common symptoms that may be experienced
when the TKV 20 is in operation. Suggested solutions
are listed to help remedy the situation.
Blower Inlet Hose or Boot is Clogging Frequently
• Ensure the rear PTO is engaged and set at 540 RPM.
• Verify that the inlet hose and boot are not clogged.
If they are, consult the Unclogging Fan and Chute
section on page 14.
• Check the belt’s tension and inspect the belt for
wear. If the belt is loose, apply tension according
to Belt Tension section on page 15. If the belt
needs to be replaced, please see Belt Replacement
Instructions on page 15.
• If problem persists, operate the tractor at a slower
speed. If the grass you are collecting is too tall,
consider raising the deck height. If the material you
are collecting is too damp or wet, consider waiting
until it dries further.
Material is Blowing Out of the Vent on the Back
of the Chute or Side of the Hopper Lid
• Ensure that the hopper is not being overlled. If full,
empty the hopper.
• Verify that the holes in the screen of the hopper lid
are not lled with material. If plugged, clean screen
by wiping material from screen.
• Verify that hopper tailgate and its side panels do not
have lodged grass which can prevent the tailgate
from closing tightly.
• Verify the lid extension is free to rotate.
Belt are Slipping/Smoking During Startup
• Check to see if the fan is jammed. If so, consult
Unclogging Fan and Chute section on page 14.
• Check the belt tension and inspect for belt wear.
If the belt is loose, apply tension according to Belt
Tension section on page 15. If the belt needs to be
replaced, please see Belt Replacement Instructions
on page 15.
Fan or Drive System is Vibrating Excessively
• Check for loose hardware.
• Inspect fan blade for material buildup. If debris is
present, clean off the fan blades, supports, and plate.
• Check the tightness of the bolt on the center of the
fan shaft. If loose, apply red thread lock and re-tighten
to 18 +/- ft. lbs.
• Check the belt tension and inspect for belt wear.
If the belt is loose, apply tension according to Belt
Tension section on page 15. If the belt needs to be
replaced, please see Belt Replacement Instructions
on page 15.
• If vibration continues, contact TerraKing for support.
Bin Not Opening to Dump Collected Material
• Check the inline fuse located on the positive wire
near the battery. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a
30 amp slow-blow fuse.
• Make sure all wire connections are tight and clean.
• Make sure the wiring harness is not damaged and is
free of nicks.
• Using a voltmeter, verify that 12 volts DC is present
at the actuator connector when the rocker switch is
pressed in either direction. The voltage will be either
positive or negative depending on the switch position.
• If bin still does not open, contact TerraKing for support.
14
Unclogging Fan and Chute
The common symptoms of a clog include:
• Loss of tractor power
• Slipping belts
• Throwing material out from under deck
• Heavy and/or wet material
1. Ensure that the PTO and the mower deck have
stopped moving and turn off the tractor. Remove the
tractor’s key, set the parking brake and disconnect
the PTO shaft.
2. Loosen the lock knob (A).
