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

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 engine/blower/blade assembly is mounted on the
right side of the unit. The blower draws grass clippings
from the discharge area of the cutter deck back to the (3)
4 cubic foot collection bags P#(G0003) at the rear
portion of the mower frame. The operator can engage
the engine/blower/blade assembly by starting the
engine. Once the bags are full, they can be released for
dumping.
