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.
Introduction
NOTE: All references made to right, left, front, rear, top
or bottom are as viewed from the normal operator’s
position on the mower.
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 collection
bags at the rear portion of the mower frame. The
operator can engage the blower with a push of the over-
center linkage on the right side of the unit. Once the
bags are full with clippings, they can be easily released
for dumping.
Section I - INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION

NOTE: The mower deck PTO belt must be removed
from the electric clutch before continuing with the
installation. Refer to your mower’s owner’s manual for
instructions on PTO belt removal.
Preparation Of Mower
Upon removal of clutch determine if your mower is
equipped with a D-drive spacer. If so, then proceed to
Figure B. If your mower is equipped with bolt, fender
and lock washer without D-drive spacer proceed to
Figure C. Remove the D-drive spacer using an arbor
press or equivalent. On removal, adjacent bearing
OUTER race must be supported or bearing damage
may occur. Refer to Figure B.
From the underside of the engine, disconnect the wiring
harness attached to the electric clutch. Remove the bolt
and electric clutch from the mower. Refer to Figure A.
The engine pulley assembly must be installed using an
arbor press or equivalent. During installation, opposite
bearing inner race must be supported or bearing
damage may occur. Refer to Figure D.
Once the Engine Pulley Bushing is installed, reattach
the clutch assembly & deck PTO belt to the mower and
then review Figure E.
To assemble and fasten the Engine Pulley, align the
Engine Pulley Bushing to the mower’s clutch pulley and
fasten using (1) Clamp Washer, (1) Lock Washer, and
(1) Hex Bolt. Torque the bolt to 55 ft./lbs. The added
pulley will power the collection system and should
resemble Figure F when installed.

Once in place, turn Lock Handle clockwise until tight. Next, feed the AK83 Belt P#(M0315) between the Belt Guard
and the Idler Mount Assembly. Place belt around the Engine Drive Pulley on the underside of the mower. While one
person inserts a screw driver (or similar tool) into the Idler Mount Assembly and rotates lever arm clockwise, enough
to relieve all tension from belt, place belt around the Drive Assembly Pulley. Once the belt is in position, carefully
release the tension to tighten belt.

Step 7 - Tighten all hardware at this time.
Step 6 - With the Carriage Bolts (Item #5) still loose, adjust the position of the boot so that there is no gap between
the mower deck and the boot.
Step 2 - Secure the Boot Plate (Item #2) to the Aluminum Boot (Item #1) using (2) 3/8”-16 x 1” Carriage Bolts (Item
#5) and (2) 3/8”-16 Ny-Flange Lock Nuts (Item #6). Insert the Carriage Bolts from the inside of the Boot so the threads
are on the top of the Boot. This will prevent grass clippings from collecting on the threads. Leave the hardware loose
until the boot plate has been attached to the mower deck.
Step 4- Insert Boot Rod (Item #3) through the Boot Plate Adapter & Boot Plate Bushings.
Step 3 - Align Boot Plate Bushings to the Boot Plate Adapter Bushings.
Step 1 - Remove the mower’s Operator Controlled Discharge Chute (OCDC) and attach the Boot Plate Adapter (Item
#7) to the far right mounting hole as shown in Figure B using (1) 3/8”-16 x 1” Hex Head Cap Screw (Item #8), (1) 3/8”

NOTE: Before continuing the Lift Handle installation,
have someone assist you in turning the Box Assembly
upside down. Insert (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS P#(K1208)
into the Lift Handle P#(A0897), and secure with (1) 3/8”-
16 Flange Nut P#(K1215). Thread the flange nut onto
the bolt upside down, as shown in Figure A. Do not
tighten the nut fully at this time.
Lift Handle Installation
Slide the Lift Handle through the slot on the Handle
Mount Bracket. Insert the Lift Handle into the Box Frame
as shown in Figure B, and secure using (1) 3/8”-16
Flange Nut P#(K1215) on the inside of the Box as shown
in Figure C. Now test the movement of the handle. It
should have full-range of movement in the slot. If the
handle does not have full-range of movement, adjust the
3/8”-16 Flange Nut from step A. Once achieved, tighten
the fasteners.
Fasten the Ball Joint P#(K1442) to the end of the Latch
Rod P#(A2107). Tighten the Ball Joint to approximately
half-way down the threads on the Latch Rod. Attach the
Ball Joint to the Latch Hook as shown in Figure D, using
(1) 5/16”-24 Hex Nut P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16” Lock
Washer P#(K0043).
Attach the other end of the Latch Rod to the Lift Handle,
as shown in Figure E. Attach one end of the Spring
P#(J0176) to the Lift Handle and the other end of the
Spring to the Handle Mount Bracket as shown in Figure
F. Adjust the Ball Joint up or down on the Latch Rod
threads until the Latch Hook closes completely. After
adjusting the Latch Hook, secure the Latch Rod to the
Lift Handle using (1) Cotter Pin P#(K0094).
