INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION 1-1 Introduction 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. This manual is provided to give you the necessary instructions to properly mount and operate the collection system on your mower.
2-2 Muffler Guard Installation Locate the two exhaust diverters (P#J0251 w/ 1-1/4” ID, P#J0250 w/ 1-3/8” ID) and clamp kit P#(X1046) provided in the hardware bag. Fasten the correct size exhaust deflector onto the mower’s exhaust and aim the exhaust as shown in Figure 2-2. Next, fasten the exhaust diverter by using the clamp kit.
2-4 Safety Interlock Harness Connection The safety interlock harness is located inside of the right PTO arm assembly (Figure 2-4a). To install the harness to the mower, lift the hood of the mower for engine compartment access. Route the harness as shown towards the parking brake switch bracket on the mower (Figure 2-4b).
2-5 Belt Installation Loosen the (2) bolts that secure the gear box assembly P#(A0429) to the PTO mount plate (Figure 2-5a). Loosen the adjustment bolt P#(K0348) until the gear box assembly is at its far left adjustment (the gear box is moved towards the mower’s engine pulley).
2-8 Upper Frame Assembly Installation NOTE: During this step, it is suggested that two people install the top frame to the lower frame. Using two people to raise the top frame, lift the top frame above the lower frame making sure the bag frames are located away from the engine as shown in Figure 2-8.
Note: When bolting the boot and boot plate together, the head of the bolt is placed from the inside of the boot. This will prevent grass from collecting on the bolts. Note: The Mower’s Deflector Shield Has Been Removed In The Following Photo For Clarity. Always have the deflector shield mounted when mowing.
2-16 Blower Cone Installation Thread (1) 5/16”-18 jam nut P#(K0120) onto each end of (2) 5/16”-18 x 2-1/2” HHCS P#(K0125). Now partially thread the bolts into each of the two tabs located on the blower housing. Place blower cone so the two tabs line up with the bolts then tighten completely.
2-18 Installation/Removal Of Collection Bags To install the bag onto the bag ring, first make sure the bag ring end caps are fastened to the bag ring. Place the seam openings of the bag onto the bag ring openings and turn the bag until the slot bracket in the bag ring is protruding from the opening in the bag (Figure 2-18a).
2-19 Final Checks To check the operation of the safety interlock harness perform the following: A. Start mower B. While seated in the operator’s seat, rotate the engagement handle of the collection system away from the mower. C. With the blower engaged, stand up from the operator’s seat.
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.
