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.

1-2 Description

The 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 good for picking up leaves and twigs 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 cutter deck back to the 3 - 3.3 cubic foot collection bags P#(G0002) 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 released to make for easy dumping.
