must be reduced to ensure safe conditions (
☛ 1.2 - 5.5).
– Lower the speed whenever you note a reduction in engine speed, since a for-
ward speed that is too fast compared to the amount of grass being cut will
never mow the grass well.
– Disengage the blade and put the cutting deck in the highest position whenever
you need to get past an obstacle or a hump.
– Use the 3rd gear only when moving the machine from one area to the other.
5.4.6 E
MPTYING THE GRASS
-
CATCHER
The grass-catcher is full when the grass cuttings remain on the lawn. If you con-
tinue mowing with the grass-catcher full, it may block the collector channel.
To empty the grass-catcher:
1. lower the engine speed;
2. go into neutral (N) (
☛ 4.4) and stop the
machine’s forward movement;
3. disengage the blade (
☛ 4.6);
4. engage the parking brake on slopes;
5. hold onto the rear handle and tip up the
grass-catcher to empty it;
This operation can only be
done with the blade disengaged, otherwise
the engine stops.
5.4.7 U
NBLOCKING THE COLLECTOR CHANNEL
This job must only be performed with the engine turned
off.
If the collector channel gets blocked (due to accumulated grass cuttings filling up
the grass-catcher or an excessively high speed with relation to the quantity of
grass cuttings), you need to:
1. stop forward movement immediately, disengage the blade and stop the en-
gine;
2. remove the grass-catcher;
3. rremove the accumulated cuttings, reaching them from the exit of the collector
channel.
