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) - 4 cubic foot
collection bags P#(G0013-L) at the rear portion of the
mower frame. The operator can engage the blower with
a toggle switch mounted on the control panel to the right
of the operator. Once the bags are full with clippings,
they can be easily released for dumping.
Section II - INSTALLATION FOR USE
Collection System May Require
Dealer Installation!

2-19 Impeller Blade Removal/Replacement
To Remove: First remove the 5/16”-24 x 1” HHCS P#(K0428) (#1), taper lock bushing washer P#(K0284) (#3), (2)
5/16 Flat Wahers P#(K0042) and spacer bushing P#(S0159) (#4) from the taper-lock bushing P#(S0157) (#5). See
Figure 2-19. Next remove the (2) 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#2) and place them into the threaded holes of the taper-lock
bushing (#5). Gradually thread each bolt evenly into the taper-lock bushing, forcing the blade to break-away from
the taper-lock bushing. If the impeller will not move, carefully hit the base of the impeller, between each vein, with
a hammer, then try again.
To Replace: Place impeller blade over the engine shaft. Slide the taper-lock bushing (#5) on to the engine shaft
and into the impeller blade, aligning the non-threaded holes of the taper-lock bushing to the threaded holes of the
impeller blade. Fasten by using (2) 1/4”-20 x 1” HHCS (#2), (1) spacer bushing (#4) (1) taper lock bushing washer
(#3), and (1) 5/16”-24 x 1” HHCS (#1). Torque to the proper specifications in the torque chart on the back of this
manual. Next, rotate the impeller blade to ensure that the blade is clear of contact on all sides of the blower
housing.
Flap Can Be Adjusted Up/Down
Depending On Mowing Conditions.
Adjust Flap Up To Allow More Dense
Material To Reach Left Bag. Adjust
Flap Down To Allow Less Dense
Material To Reach The Right Bag.
Once Adjusted Properly, Both Bags
Should Fill Evenly, But May Require
Further Adjusting When Mowing
Conditions Change.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-1 General Safety
Only qualified people familiar with this operator’s manual
and the mower’s operator’s manual should operate this
machine.
3-2 Operation And Tips On Mowing
A. Perform BEFORE EACH USE the maintenance list
in paragraph 4-1.
B. Start mower.
C. With the mower at high idle speed, engage the mower
deck.
D. While seated in the operator’s seat, pull the
engagement handle of the PTO assembly towards
the operator’s seat until the handle slides into
position in the retaining slot. With the PTO assembly
engaged, you can proceed to operate the control
levers of the mower.
NOTE: If the collection system does not appear to be
collecting the grass clippings, disengage the deck
and PTO assembly (Section 3-3), then, engage the
parking brake and turn the mower off. Check upper and
lower hoses for any clogs.
To obtain the maximum effectiveness from your
collection system, the tips listed below should be
followed:
* Watch your speed- Normal conditions will allow a
speed of up to approximately 4 mph, but thick, heavy
damp conditions will require reduced ground speed.
* Mow with sharp blades- A sharp blade cuts cleaner.
* Wet grass and leaves will decrease effectiveness and
will increase horsepower requirements.
* Mow at higher cutting heights- Remove and mulch no
more than 2” of grass length with each mowing.
(Experts recommend not cutting off more than 1/3 of
the grass blade length at any given time.)
* Mow twice, at different height settings, (high, then low),
if grass is extra tall.
* Remember that horsepower requirements will vary with
the mowing conditions such as type and height of turf
grass, moisture content, amount of leaves, whether the
terrain is flat or hilly, etc.
3-3 Disengagement Of The PTO
Assembly
A. To disengage the PTO assembly, move switch to the
off position.
WARNING: The PTO assembly blades will continue to
spin. DO NOT TOUCH the PTO assembly, pulleys, or
the belt until the tractor is turned off. DO NOT adjust the
belt tension until the mower is turned off. Refer to
section 2-4 of the manual.
3-4 Unloading The Collection System
NOTE: To determine when the collection bags are full,
follow the following steps:
A. Stop the forward movement of the mower.
B. Disengage the mower deck.
C. Disengage the PTO assembly.
D. Engage the parking brake.
E. Once the parking brake has been engaged, then and
only then, walk behind the mower and check the
collection bags by first unhooking the rubber strap
with S-hook that secures the plastic top, then lift the
plastic hood. Load in bags should not exceed the
height of the installed bag.
F. To remove the bags from the frame, slide bags out
and turn bags over to deposit clippings.
G. Slide empty bags back onto the frame and secure
plastic top with the rubber strap with S-hook.
NOTE: Do not allow collection bags to become over-
filled as potential damage may occur to your
equipment. Also, be sure to clean the hood screen as
needed.
SECTION IV
MAINTENANCE
4-1 Maintenance Checklist
Before each use:
1. Check blades and spindles to be sure that no foreign
objects, such as wire or steel strapping bands, are
wrapped around them.
2. Inspect blades for wear. Replace if necessary. If it is
necessary to sharpen the blades, remove the blades
from the spindles before sharpening. DO NOT
sharpen blades while still attached to the mower.
34
3. Make sure all shields are in place and in good
condition. Repair or replace any missing or damaged
shields.
4. Perform lubrication per paragraph 4-2.
5. Listen for abnormal sounds, which might indicate
loose parts, damaged bearings, or other damage.
Correct any deficiency before continuing operation.
6. With the engine off check the belt tension and inspect
the pulley belt for cracks or tears.
7. Check for wear or deterioration of the upper or lower
hoses. If there are any portions of the hose that have
been torn or worn through, replace immediately.
After Each Use:
1. Clean all debris from machine especially from the
container, underneath the belt shields, and safety
decals. Replace any missing or illegible decals.
2. Inspect the unit for worn or damaged components.
Repair or replace before the next use. Any
replacement component installed during repair shall
include the component’s current safety decal specified
by the manufacturers to be affixed to the component.
3. Check belt for proper tension.
WRITE THE MODEL AND
SERIAL NUMBER IN THE
BOX TO THE LEFT
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Blower Assembly:
1. Every 100 hours grease idler arm grease fitting with
white lithium grease.
