INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION

1-1 Introduction

We are pleased to have you as a return Bush Hog

customer. Your MMGC-300 has been designed to

give you a low maintenance, simple, and effective

way to collect the grass clippings from your Bush

Hog Mid Mount ZT mower. This manual is provided

to give you the necessary instructions to properly

mount and operate the MMGC-300 on your ZT

mower. Please read this manual thoroughly.

Understand what each control is for and how to use

it. Observe all safety decal precautions on the

machine and noted throughout the manual.

Note: all references made to right, left, front, rear,

top or bottom are as viewed from the normal opera-

tor's position on the ZT mower.

1-2 Description

The MMGC-300 Grass Catcher, Figure1, is

designed for turf maintenance where there is a need

to collect the grass clippings as the ZT mower cuts

the turf. It is also good for picking up leaves and

twigs in pre-season and post-season clean-up.

The blower, mounted on the right side of the unit,

uses a belt and pulley system from the engine PTO

shaft. Drive train protection comes through belt slip-

page. The blower draws grass clippings from the

discharge area of the cutter deck up to the alu-

minum container mounted over the rear portion of

the ZT frame. The operator can engage the blower

with a push of the over-center linkage on the right

side of the unit. Once the container is full of clip-

pings, the operator can easily push and raise the lift

handle, releasing the container's rear door and the

container will pivot towards the ground.

PREPARATION FOR USE

2-1 ZT Modification Of Zero Turn

Carefully dismantle wooden shipping crate from

around the components. Cut retaining straps and

separate the parts. The grass container will have

various parts located inside. Remove and sort all

parts for easy identification.

NOTE: Before each step of assembly it will help to

study the exploded drawings on pages7, 8, and 10.

From the underside of the ZT engine remove the

bolt and bushing from the electric clutch assembly.

Replace these parts with the pulley and longer fas-

tener that will power the grass catcher blower. Note

that the center of the hub that is extended should be

upward toward the engine. (Figure 3) Torque the

bolt to 55 ft./lbs.
