Description
The grass 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 used for
picking up leaves 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 cutting deck back to the collection bags at
the rear portion of the mower frame. The operator can
engage the blower with a toggle switch mounted on the
control panel to the right of the operator. Once the bags
are full with clippings, they can be easily released for
dumping.
