4. Mount Collection Hood Frame to Mower Frame and Assemble
• For 52” Triple Bag Units: It is necessary to use the offset
adapter for mounting. This improves the access of the trim
edge on the left side of the mower. Attach using 4 3/8” bolts
and nuts on each adapter bracket. Use the attached pins to
secure the rear assembly to the mower. For all other units:
Mount to tube slots located on the upper rail of the rear face
of the hood frame. Use the attached pins to secure the rear
assembly to the mower.
• Bolt the inlet port to the rear of the hood frame using four
5/16” bolts and nuts. It will be necessary to raise hood cover
to access nuts.
• Place Bags in grass collection unit with the lid raised. To lock
bags in place, lower lid and insert cover pin located on the
left side of the mower. This will prevent the hood cover from
lifting up while driving on bumpy terrain. Failure to lock this
pin could result in a bag falling out of the rear unit.
Transfer Tube Installation
• The transfer tub will need to be cut to size. To achieve the
correct length, lower the deck before installing the tube.
Allow for 2 1/2” of overlap for the tube and the blower and
approximately 4” of overlap for the rear collection frame. Cut
tubing using a utility knife. A pair of diagonal cutters will be
needed to cut the hard plastic rib.
• Fit the transfer tube and secure the attachment clips.
Note: 48” Units will need the transfer hose guard. Mount the
guard underneath the rear gas tank support. This guard will
prevent the hose from rubbing the rear tire and is sufficient to
be used by itself. However, the tube could be fastened to the
guard by connecting an elastic tie-down strap to the two holes
on the guard
Optional Deck Counter-Weight Kit
An optional deck weight kit is available for mowing slopped terrain, where
stripping is an issue. The weight bolts to the left side of the deck and
should not extend beyond the trim edge. This weight is not necessary if
you are mowing relatively flat, smooth ground.
