Operation

General Instructions for the Grass Collectors

WARNING

Disengage the electric clutch (PTO). Shut off the engine,

remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before

attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any part of the

collection system.

ALWAYS shut off the tractor, disengage the PTO, and allow

all moving parts to stop BEFORE disconnecting or clearing

the tube, or emptying the collector bags.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, tractor and mower

free of grass, leaves, or excess grease. Do not stop or park

tractor over dry leaves, grass, or combustible materials.

Mowing with the Grass Collector

Always operate the riding mower with the throttle at full

speed.

If grass is long, slow the ground speed and cut half the width

of the mower to prevent blockage. Another method is to cut

once with the deck in a high setting and then cut again with

the deck in a low setting.

Do not open the cover with the mower engaged.

If a large amount of cut grass ejects from the bottom of the

deck, the tube may be blocked or the bags may be full. Stop

the rider, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and then empty

grass collector or remove the blockage from the tube.

Before Operation

Remove all the sticks, stones, or other debris, which can get

caught or thrown by the mower blade.

For best results, mow when the grass is dry. Wet grass can

clump and block the mower and the grass collector.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN MOWING, make sure the bottom of

the mower and the bottom of the cover assembly are clear of

grass and debris.

For satisfactory grass collection, air circulation from the

mower deck, through the chute, and into the grass collector is

very important.

Make sure there are tight connections between the mower

deck, turbo housing, tubes, and the cover assembly.

Recommended Accessories

Use front counterweights when operating on slopes with a

rear attachment installed. For operation on slopes over 15%

(8.5°), two rear wheel weights can be added.

Remove the Grass Collector

WARNING

When operating without the grass collector and turbo, the

mower deflector MUST be installed in the down position

and retained with the spring latch (see the Turbo Operator’s

Manual).

1. Lift up the cover assembly (R, Figure26). Remove and

the collector bags (Q).

2. Unhook the strap (a) from the pin (b). Remove the middle

tube assembly and the upper tube (V and W) from the

bagging boot assembly (U) and the cover assembly.

3. Remove the mounting strap hook (c). Rotate the latch (d)

from the hardware assembly (e) and remove the bagging

boot assembly (U). Put the discharge chute (f) to the

down position.



4. Remove the hair pins (T, Figure27) from the cover hinge

pins (S). Remove the cover assembly (R).

5. Remove the upright support assembly (M) from the rear

of tractor.

Storage

Storing the Grass Collector

Clean the grass collector thoroughly using a mild detergent

(other products may damage the discharge tube). Remove

any debris from the screen on the underside of the lid. The

screen can be partially removed for easier cleaning.

If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up with

paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent corrosion.

Store in a dry area. Hang the grass collector and collector

bags to dry thoroughly before storing for a long period of time.

Always store away from moisture.
