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. 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 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 with clippings, they can
be released to make for easy dumping.

INSTALLATION FOR USE

2-1 Preparation Of Mower

Carefully dismantle wooden shipping crate from around
the components. Cut retaining straps and separate the
parts. The collection system will have various parts
located inside. Remove and sort all parts for easy
identification.
NOTE: before each step of assembly it will help to study
the exploded drawings on pages 8 - 10.
SECTION I
NOTE: The mower's exhaust radiates heat from the
muffler which can be potentially drawn through the air
intake. Provided is a heat guard to reduce the heat
drawn into the air intake.
FOR 2006 AND BELOW MODELS ONLY
Remove the (2) bolts shown (Figure 2-1a) from the rear
of the mower. Place the heat guard P#(C0011) over top
of the muffler with the flap pointing downward so that the
heat will travel to the rear of the mower. Align the holes
in the heat guard to the holes of the bolts that were
removed previously from the mower. Using the
previously removed bolts, fasten the guard to the rear of
the mower. See Figure 2-1a for more details on how to
position heat guard.
