Route the drive belt onto the top pulley of the double pulley mounted on the tractor’s left side axle (Figures 7 and 12). 2 7 4.
Installing the Collector 5. Pull the hitch lever up. This will raise the hopper and engage the collector pin into the hitch extension (Fig. 11). 1. Align the hinges on both halves of the collector. The halves must be positioned in the closed position (Fig. 9). 6. Pull the locking pin out to allow the collector to be raised into full upright position (Fig. 11). 2. Push the dumping arm through the hinges and secure with a cotter pin (3/16 x 1 in.) (Fig. 9). 4 2 7.
3. Install the boot onto the mower by lifting the mower discharge chute and sliding the boot bracket between the grass deflector and the mower deck (Fig. 14). 1 4. Release the grass deflector. This will lock the boot in place behind the bolt heads (Fig. 14). Note: The boot needs to fit snuggly to the mower. 5. If the bolts are not positioned correctly to lock to boot in place, loosen the bolts, slide them to the correct position so that the deflector locks the boot in place (Fig. 14). 6.
9. Install the upper and straight tube with 3 carriage bolts (1/4 x 3/4 in.) and 3 flange nuts (1/4 in.) (Fig. 17). B 1 2 4 A 5 1 3 m–6542 2 Figure 15 1. Straight tube m-5957 2.

Operation Note: Determine the left and right side of the machine from the normal operating position. 5. Pull the collector arm down to raise the back of the collector (Fig. 19). Warning 6. Close the back of the collector and squeeze the collector lever (Fig. 19). 7. Lower the collector arm to the working position (Fig. 19).
Clearing Obstructions From the Collector 4. Open the collector; refer to Emptying the Quiet Collector, page 11. 5. With the collector open, pull out the holding pin and insert into the hole in the hinge (Fig. 20). 1. Empty the collector. 2. Disengage the mower PTO and set the parking brake. 1 3.
