2-6 PTO Handle Assembly Installation

Mount the PTO handle assembly P#(A0603) to the 
universal PTO P#(A0623) using (3) 1/4”-20 x 3/4” HHCS 
P#(K1222) and (3) 1/4”-20 nyloc nuts P#(K1128).  
Before fastening, make sure that there is room for the 
handle to engage and disengage without the handle 
hitting the fuel tank.  See Figure 2-6 for reference. 

2-7 Cam Assembly Adjustment

The cam assembly P#(A0422), which controls the 
blower belt tension, comes from the factory pre-adjusted. 
If the belt is too tight or becomes too loose, remove the 
hair pin clip P#(K0099) from the belt tension rod 
P#(K0326) and pull the “L” end of the rod out of it’s hole 
in the cam assembly. The tension rod may then be 
screwed out to tighten the belt or screwed in to loosen 
the belt. Replace the “L” end into the top hole in the cam 
and replace the hair pin clip. Adjust the cam stop bolt 
P#(K1159) to allow the cam to rotate slightly over center 
when the blower is disengaged (Figure 2-7).

2-8 Exhaust Deflector Installation

Fasten the exhaust deflector P#(C0058) to the 
underside of the PTO mount plate assembly P#(A0846) 
and fasten using (2) 1/4”-20 x 3/4” HHCS and (2) 1/4”-
20 nyloc nuts.  See Figure 2-8.

2-9 Lift Handle Installation

The various parts of the handle assembly P#(A0273) 
must be attached to the container frame. Page 10 
shows the orientation and location of the components. 
Slide the lift handle into the slot in the handle mount 
bracket P#(B1730) on the grass container. It may be 
necessary to remove the handle grip P#(J0522) to allow 
the handle to fit through the slot.

Before attaching the handle, hook one end of the spring 
P#(J0176) into the hole on the underside of the handle. 
Hook the other end of the spring into the open hole in 
the handle mount bracket. Fasten the handle to the 
grass container frame by using (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS 
P#(K1208) and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). At 
this point the handle can pivot back and forth in the slot 
of the handle mount bracket. With the handle in place, 
fasten the ball joint P#(K1442) to the end of the latch 
rod P#(A0260) (Page 10). Tighten to approximately half 
way down the threads of the latch rod. Slide the ball 
joint into the hole on the latch hook P#(B1529). Use (1) 
5/16”-24 hex nut P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16” lock washer 
P#(K0043) to fasten the ball joint to the latch hook. 
Attach the opposite end of the latch rod into the handle. 
Fasten the rod to the handle by using (1) 3/32” x 3/4” 
cotter pin P#(K0094). Adjust the rod to allow the hook to 
close the box door completely.
