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 mower 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.

located inside. Remove and sort all parts for easy 
identification.

the exploded drawings on pages 10 through 15.
From the underside of the engine remove the bolt and 
bushing from the electric clutch assembly.  It will help to
