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 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 up to the aluminum container
mounted over the rear portion of the frame. The operator
can engage the blower with a push of the over-center
linkage on the right side of the unit. Once the container
is full of clippings, the operator can easily push and raise
the lift handle, releasing the container's rear door and
the container will pivot towards the ground.

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 - 12.
SECTION I
From the underside of the engine remove the bolt and
bushing from the electric clutch assembly. Replace these
parts with the engine pulley assembly P#(A0419), 7/16"
lock washer P#(K0053), and 7/16"-20 x 4" HHCS
P#(K0359). The added pulley will power the collection
system. Note that the center of the hub that is extended
should be upward toward the engine (Figure 2-1a).
Torque the bolt to 55 ft./lbs.
Figure 2-1a
On the rear chassis of the mower drill four 13/32" holes
(2 per side). There are several ways of doing this, the
best is to remove the bolt that connects the lower rear
bumper to the mower's chassis (Figure 2-1b) and loosely
fasten the main frame legs P#(A0679) and P#(A0681)
with the existing bolt and nut to use as a template. Use a
center punch to mark the holes, then remove the main
frame leg to drill the holes. See Figure 2-1b for
reference.
Another way to mark the holes is to use the full scale drill
template to center-punch the holes ( Page 19), or by
using the dimensions provided on the drill template for
laying out the holes. We recommend when laying out the
holes to use a square and a metal scribe.
