2-25 Weight Kit Installation

The collection system requires that a weight kit is 
installed to the front of the mower to counter-balance the 
weight of the collection system, when filled with debris.

NOTE:

 The (2) weight brackets are secured to the caster 

supports first. Then the weight is added to the weight 
brackets. It is recommended that two people perform this 
procedure. If another person is not available, use a 
rolling hydraulic floor jack to keep the weight into 
position while you secure the weight to the weight 
brackets

Locate the(2) weight brackets P#(B0026). Secure (1) 
bracket to each front caster support, using (1) 3/8”-16 x 
2-1/8” u-bolt P#(K1119) and (2) 3/8”-16 nylon flange lock 
nuts P#(K2038) 

PER BRACKET

.  Position the weight 

bracket as shown in Figure 2-25a. Insert the u-bolt from 
the bottom of the caster support tube as shown in Figure 
2-25b. Leave the hardware slightly loose until the weight 
has been installed. 

After the weight brackets have been secured to the 
caster supports, place (1) weight bar P#(B0035) onto the 
(2) weight brackets. It is strongly recommended that 
someone assist you in lifting the weight bar into position.
Center the weight bar between the front casters. Secure 
the weight bar to the weight bracket using (2) 1/2”-13 x 
4-5/16” u-bolts P#(K0331) and (4) 1/2”-13 nylon flange 
lock nuts P#(K2012). Tighten the weight bracket 
hardware at this time. Refer to Figure 2-25c and 2-25d 
for reference.
