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, operate and maintain 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.
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 engine/blower/blade assembly, is mounted on
the right side of the unit. The blower draws grass
clippings from the discharge area up and back to the
container mounted to the rear of the mower. The
operator can engage the engine/blower/blade assembly
by starting the engine. Once the container is full of
clippings, the operator can remove the rear door and
then easily pull and lift the handle to dump.
