Removal Of The Collection System For
Non-Collection Mowing
If it is decided that a particular mowing area does not
require that the grass clippings be collected, most of
the collection system may be removed while allowing
the lower frame weldment, PTO mounting bracket,
and the engine pulley to remain on the ZT.
(Refer to instructions and photographs on pages 5-8)
1. Loosen the belt tension adjustment bolt to allow
removal of the drive belt from the engine pulley.
2. Remove the hair pin clip and rod from the boot.
After disconnecting the boot from the deck,
store the pin and clip in the lugs on the boot for
safe keeping. NOTE: The original grass
chute must be re-installed on the deck
before operating the ZT.
3. Loosen the upper hose clamp from the hood
inlet and slide the hose free from the inlet.
4. Remove the hair pin clip and pin from the PTO
assembly and pull the assembly up and out of
the mounting slots. Replace the pin and clip in
the PTO assembly for safe keeping.
5. Remove the hair pin clip and pin that secures
the top frame to the lower frame and lift the top
frame and bags from the ZT. Store the hair pin
clip and pin in the top frame.
