Assembly of brush unit
Figures and letters in brackets refer to the figures.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. See fig. 3. Undo the existing nuts in the middle
on the front of the brush unit (1). Remove the
flat washers. Position the connecting rod (15)
on the carriage bolts. Install the washers and the
nuts. Do not tighten the nuts yet.
1. Never allow anyone to use the collector without
correct instructions.
2. Do not allow children to use the collector.
3. Do not operate the machine too close to naked
flames, as the hopper bag and the brushes are
highly flammable.
2. See fig. 3. Install the strut (9) on the brush unit
with the aid of two screws (D) with the heads on
the inside of the brush unit. Position two wash-
ers (I) and two locking nuts (G) on the outside.
Do not tighten the nuts yet.
4. Do not attempt to remove objects that have be-
come caught up in the brush (e.g. pieces of
string) while the brush is rotating.
5. Move at reduced speed over uneven surfaces
and on slopes to ensure you do not lose control
or the machine does not tip over. Watch out for
holes and other hidden dangers.
3. See fig. 3. The installation of the angle (14) de-
termines the height of the hopper bag above the
ground (see below).
•
The bottom of the hopper bag must be horizon-
tal.
6. This collector is not intended to be driven on
public roads. Watch out for traffic when using
the machine close to streets and roads.
•
The distance to the ground must be 8-10 cm
when the height setting arm (7) is in the central
position.
7. Ensure that all screws and nuts are tightened so
that the collector is in good condition.
•
•
Never allow the hopper bag to drag on the
ground.
8. Stop and check the collector for damage follow-
ing a collision. Any damage must be repaired
before the collector is used again.
By installing the angle on the top or bottom of
the connecting rod (15), along with the spacers,
many different heights can be obtained.
9. Follow all the instructions in this set of instruc-
tions regarding maintenance of the collector.
•
Test which installation best suits the lawnmow-
er in question.
DELIVERY
Continue assembly as follows:
Install the angle (14) on the connecting rod with
a screw (B) and a locking nut (F) in the front
hole. Use a longer screw (A), the bracket (V)
and a locking nut (F) in the rear hole. Position
the strut (9) under the bracket (V). Do not tight-
en the nuts yet.
The delivery comprises a box containing the com-
ponents in fig. 2 as well as a bag. The bag contains
the installation components in fig. 1. The follow-
ing number (x) indicates the quantity of the rele-
vant component.
4. Tighten the nuts that were installed under point
3 above. Do not tighten too hard, as this could
deform the tube. Press the connecting rod (15)
down so that the strut (9) comes under the
bracket (V), and press against the screw (A).
Tighten all the screws and nuts that have been
installed.

ENGLISH
8. Install the height setting strut (8) on the angle
The hopper bag supports are made of
powerful spring steel. Wear protective
goggles during assembly.
(W). Position the spacer (K) on the screw (E).
Insert the screw with the spacer through the
hole in the height setting strut and into the hole
in the angle. Lock in place with the locking
washer (J) and the nut (H).
11.See fig. 13. Tension the two sprung struts (11)
in the rear part of the hopper bag.
12.See fig. 14. Locate the holes in the sides of the
hopper bag and make holes with an awl or sim-
ilar.
9. Attach the other end of the height setting strut
(8) to the height setting arm (7). Position the
groove in the height setting strut opposite the
square hole in the arm.
13.See fig. 15. Install the hopper bag locks (X), the
pins (P) and the locking pins (M) in both sides
of the hopper bag.
10.Screw into place with a carriage bolt (D), a flat
washer (I) and the locking wheel (T).
NOTE! The hopper bag locks must be able to
move about freely.
11.See fig. 5. Install the two securing arms (5) on
the outside of the brush unit. Screw the securing
arms into the rear, lower holes with four screws
(B) and four locking nuts (F).
14.See fig. 16. Install the line (15).
15.Install the wind protection on the rear upper
section of the hopper bag.
NOTE! The grooves in the securing arms must
be facing up.
16.See fig. 17, 18. Install the hopper bag on the
brush unit.
12.Install the hitch pin (U) and the two spacers (L)
in the connecting rod. Lock with the locking
pins (N).
USING THE MACHINE
Assembling the hopper bag
Figures and letters in brackets refer to the figures.
Operating
Be careful when driving on slopes.
1. See fig. 6, 7. Insert the left-hand, upper hopper
bag tube (1) in the hopper bag flap. Start at the
cut-out in the middle of the hopper bag’s upper
section. The holes in fig. 6 must be facing
down.
The vehicle’s braking characteristics and stability
can be affected by installed accessories or optional
extras. Be particularly careful when driving on
slopes.
2. Install the right-hand, upper hopper bag tube (1)
in the same way and press the tubes together.
Hopper bag height
Set the hopper bag so that its bottom is horizontal
and is 8-10 cm above the ground when driving. See
point 3 under “ASSEMBLY”.
3. Secure the tubes by pressing in a plastic plug
(R) through the holes.
4. See fig. 7. Locate the holes in the sides of the
two upper hopper bag tubes. These will be used
later.
Brush height setting
5. See fig. 9. Assemble the two lower hopper bag
tubes (3, 4).
Set the brushes to the correct height by undoing the
locking wheel and then moving the arm up or
down, see fig. 19. If the arm is moved down, the
brushes are raised. The best results are obtained if
the brushes sweep the top of the grass without
touching the soil below. The brushes must not be
lowered so much that the collector’s wheels slide
or slip.
6. See fig. 9. Secure the tubes by pressing in a
plastic plug (R) through the holes.
7. Position the lower hopper bag tubes inside the
hopper bag.
8. See fig. 10. Assemble the two upper and lower
hopper bag tubes’ ends using the pins (Q) and
the locking pins (M).
Speed
9. See fig. 11. Attach the hopper bag’s front strut
to the lower hopper bag tubes using the pins (O)
and the locking pins (M).
•
Test which speed produces the best results.
•
The speed should be selected so that the grass is
thrown to the rear part of the hopper bag.
10.See fig. 12. Snap the hopper bag together
around the bag tubes using the snap fasteners.
•
Recommended speed: 4.8 - 6.4 km/h.

Emptying
The collector’s hopper bag is easily emptied by
pulling the cord from the driver’s seat.
STORAGE
The hopper bag can be folded up if both the hopper
bag supports (11) are removed. Requires less room
for storage.
Do not secure the cord to the ride-on mower in
such a way that it catches in the wheels or in other
rotating parts.
Do not drive too close to naked flames when using
or emptying, as the hopper bag and the brushes can
be damaged by heat or fire.
Always empty the hopper bag after each use.
Damp or wet grass and leaves can cause damage if
stored for an extended period.
MAINTENANCE
The collector must be cleaned after each use. Dried
on grass remains damage the collector and impair
its performance. Carefully clean the inside of the
hopper bag and clean the brushes of twigs etc.
Take care when rinsing with water. Make
sure that no water penetrates into bearings
and other moving parts.
Every two years, the wheels should be dismantled
and the gear rim and the cog wheels lubricated
with oil or thin grease.
To dismantle the wheel, snap off the wheel cap,
disconnect the locking ring, remove the flat washer
and then remove the wheel.
The collector’s bearings are lubricated in the facto-
ry. However, you are recommended to apply a few
drops of oil on the brush axle bearings a couple of
times a year.
