Setup and Installation
The Fan-Assist Kit is an integral part of the PRO PCS 1900 Power Collection System. Installation typically involves integrating the fan unit with the collection system's housing and connecting it to the mower's power source. Specific steps may vary based on your mower model and existing Power Collection System components.
- Preparation: Ensure the mower is turned off, the engine is cool, and the spark plug wire is disconnected. Park the mower on a flat, stable surface.
- Access the Collection System: If the PRO PCS 1900 Power Collection System is already installed, you may need to partially disassemble it to access the fan housing area. The built-in impeller handles allow for easy removal from the unit.
- Install Fan Unit: Carefully position the Fan-Assist Kit (impeller housing) into the designated area of the Power Collection System. Ensure it is securely mounted according to the instructions provided with the full PRO PCS 1900 system. The 19-inch diameter impeller housing and 15-inch impeller should be correctly oriented.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the 3-Pin power connector from the Fan-Assist Kit to the corresponding power outlet on your Cub Cadet mower. Refer to your mower's electrical diagram if necessary.
- Secure Components: Reassemble any parts of the Power Collection System that were removed. Ensure all bolts, clamps, and fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Final Check: Before starting the mower, visually inspect all connections and mounting points to ensure the Fan-Assist Kit is securely installed and there are no loose components.

Operating Instructions
The Fan-Assist Kit operates in conjunction with your Cub Cadet Pro Z series mower and the PRO PCS 1900 Power Collection System. Once properly installed and connected, the fan automatically engages when the mower's power take-off (PTO) is activated for cutting.
- Ensure the Fan-Assist Kit is securely attached and all connections are tight before each use.
- Start the mower and engage the PTO as you normally would for mowing. The fan will begin to rotate, creating suction to direct grass clippings into the collection bags with optimal performance.
- Monitor the collection bags and empty them when full to maintain efficient operation.
- Disengage the PTO and turn off the mower before performing any checks or adjustments to the collection system.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Fan-Assist Kit.
- After Each Use:
- Turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug wire.
- Inspect the impeller housing and impeller for any grass buildup, debris, or damage. Clean as necessary.
- Check all mounting hardware for tightness.
- Seasonal Maintenance:
- Thoroughly clean the entire unit, removing any caked-on dirt or grass.
- Inspect the impeller for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
