2-3 Attaching The Lift Handle To The
Aluminum Grass Container
The various parts of the handle assembly P#(A0512)
must be attached to the container frame. Figure 5 shows
the orientation and location of the components. Slide the
lift handle into the slot in the handle mount bracket
P#(B1730) on the grass container. It may be necessary
to remove the handle grip P#(J0522) to allow the handle
to fit through the slot.
Before attaching the handle, hook one end of the spring
P#(J0176) into the hole on the underside of the handle.
Hook the other end of the spring into the open hole in
the handle mount bracket. Fasten the handle to the
grass container frame by using (1) 3/8"-16 x 2" HHCS
P#(K1208) and (2) 3/8"-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). At this
point the handle can pivot back and forth in the slot of
the handle mount bracket. With the handle in place,
fasten the ball joint P#(K1442) to the end of the latch rod
P#(A0260) (Figure 6). Tighten to approximately half way
down the threads of the latch rod. Slide the ball joint into
the hole on the latch hook P#(B1529). Use (1) 5/16"-24
hex nut P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16" lock washer P#(K0043)
to fasten the ball joint to the latch hook. Attach the
opposite end of the latch rod into the handle. Fasten the
rod to the handle by using (1) 3/32" x 3/4" cotter pin
P#(K0094). Adjust the rod to allow the hook to close the
box door completely.
Refer to Figures 5,6,7,8, and 9 for exploded parts
drawings and photographs of the complete assembly.

2-4 Attaching The Aluminum Grass
Container To The Unit
NOTE:
It is recommended that 3 people assist in
mounting the container.
With three people available, two can lower the container
onto the frame while the third person inserts the pivot
pins P#(K0172) through the holes. Insert the pins from
the outside to the inside. Secure with (1) 5/8" washer
P#(K0058) and (1) 5/32" x 2-5/8" hair pin clip P#(K0088)
per pivot pin.
Reattach the bottom ends of the door opening linkages
to the main frame by using (1) Rue-Ring cotter pin
P#(K1437) per side.
To test the functionality of the dump mechanism, pull the
lift handle away from the unit, and lift upward (Figure 5).
The door of the container should open and the box
should pivot clockwise towards the ground.
2-5 Aluminum Grass Container Inlet
Attachment
The inlet will need to be attached to the container
(Figure 8). Open the container, push the inlet from the
inside of the container through the hole in the container
to the outside. Orient the inlet opening to face the
ground. Use the tabs P#(B1668) inside of the box to hold
the inlet in place. It is recommended that two people
Perform this step. That way, one person on the inside of
the container can position the tabs, while the other
person tightens the bolts. Looking at the outside of the
container, the most difficult tab to tighten down will be
the tab at the 4-5 o'clock position. Tighten that tab first.
Then proceed to tighten the others.
2-6 Adjusting The Dump Mechanism
The linkage may be adjusted in two places, at the
adjusting screw P#(K1435) and the latch assembly
items. See Figures 5 & 8 for visual clarification. To
change the door closure tightness, screw the adjusting
screw in or out. To adjust the latch, change the length of
the latch rod by screwing the latch adjusting ball joint in
or out. The latch hook pivot should be in the middle of
the slot in the latch hook pivot plate. Slide the pivot back
or forth and then re-tighten.
2-7 Attaching The Outer Motor
Mount Tube To The Left & Right
Lower Main Frame Legs
To mount the outer motor mount tube P#(B3727) to the
left and right lower main frame legs, use (1) 3/8"-16 u-
bolt P#(K1119) and (2) 3/8"-16 flange nuts P#(K1215)
per lower frame leg. Use (Figure 3) for more detail.
