C Series Garden Tractor - Powered Grass Collector

CONNECTING PGC TO TRACTOR - Fig 28

To connect the Powered Grass Collector (PGC) to your C Series tractor, ensure that both are on an even surface with the Locking Levers on the Collector facing the Lift Arms on the tractor. Move the Collector manually to the tractor, lower the lift arms using the Lever (fig 30) or switch on dashboard (fig 1). Then lift/tip the seat forward and lift the PTO flap to expose the PTO pulley.

At the end of each Lift Arm, you will find a Locating Lug. Slide the channels on either side of the Powered Collector over the Lugs, but do not engage the Locating Lever yet. Ensure that the Rubber Flap at the opening of the PGC is located on the top of the Transmission Grass Deflector.

INSTALLING THE DRIVE BELT - Fig 29

Place the Drive Belt over the PTO pulley (beneath Tractor Seat). Standing adjacent to the Tractor, extend the belt with both hands parallel to the ground. Now twist the belt to form a figure ‘8’ - the right hand up and the left hand down. In this position place the other end of the belt over the Powered Collector Pulley. Be sure that this is installed the right way round, otherwise the brush will work in reverse and collection will be poor. Lock the Locating Lever over the Lift Arm Lugs. Rotate the Locking Clips over the Lift Arm Lugs. To disconnect, reverse this procedure.

FITTING THE NET - Fig 27

Fit the Net as shown in fig 27 with the net rod (A) in position ‘X’. To remove the net, release the net rod (A) and secure in the removal position ‘Y’.

PTO DRIVE BELT TENSION - Fig 29

Engaging the Locating Lever tensions the belt which should not be run too tight - to check the tension there should be a 19mm deflection with light finger pressure (2kgs) at a midway point between PTO pulley and Sweeper Pulley. It is important after attaching the Sweeper to the Tractor to check the Belt Tension and adjust if necessary. This must be done before the Sweeper is put into operation and with the Sweeper on the ground. With light finger pressure (2kgs, 4-5lbs), there should be a total deflection of 19mm (3/4”) at a midway point between PTO Pulley and the Sweeper Pulley. If a Spring Balance is available, a pressure of 2kgs (4-5lbs) is required for a deflection of 19mm (3/4”). If the Belt Tension is incorrect, it can be adjusted by movement of the Sweeper Locking Levers or the threaded rod. Ensure the lock nuts are suitably tightened after adjustment. Do not over-tighten the lock nuts, as levers need to pivot.

Always be sure to keep the PTO lever in the disengaged position and the Sweeper Lowering Lever in the transport position when not collecting grass clippings.

LOWERING THE COLLECTOR - Fig 30

Using the Lever (fig 30) or the Aux Lift switch (HE tractors only) situated on the Console (page 3) lift or lower the Powered Grass Collector.
