The white insertion plugs help slide the collector frame tubes into the bag. Use one plug at a time for each tube, then discard them after installation. #### When did the collector bags change to large replaceable top screens? The large, replaceable top screens were introduced in Fall 2016. These updated screens feature a single, all-purpose design to provide improved airflow. #### When did the top screen change from a zipper to Velcro on the front edge? - In May 2009, the Commander, Commercial Pro, and XL models switched from a zipper to Velcro. - The Classic model followed with the same change in September 2009. - The Z-10 was always built with 4-sided Velcro from the start. #### What’s the difference between the leaf (fall) and grass (spring) top screens? The difference is in the hole size. - **Grass screen**: Larger holes (about 1/4 inch) - **Leaf screen**: Slightly smaller holes (about 3/8 inch) Some can still be purchased individually, but new collector bags now come with a large, all-purpose top screen that works great for both leaves and grass—and offers improved airflow. #### What is the purpose of the metal grate or steel frame (#01-01-506) for the top screen? The metal grate helps keep older removable leaf screens flat to maintain airflow and reduce clogging. It's attached using Velcro or a zipper, depending on your collector’s age. Newer collector bags with the larger, all-purpose top screen **do not** require the metal grate. #### Can I swap collector bags between different Cyclone Rake models? Collector Bags are designed to match the specific dimensions of each Cyclone Rake model, so they aren’t interchangeable. For example, a larger 415-gallon Commercial Pro Bag won’t fit on a Classic or Commander due to chassis and exit chute differences. Likewise, smaller 200- or 285-gallon bags can’t be used on larger models like the Commercial PRO, XL, or Z-10. Converting a unit like the Commander to accommodate a larger bag would require too many component changes and isn’t recommended. If you're considering a larger unit, we’d be happy to help with current model and pricing info!
