WARNING
Thrown objects - impact hazard.
Do
not use the lawn mower unless either
the side discharge chute or the
mulching kit has been securely fitted.
Make sure all fastening bolts are
tightened securely. Ensure that the lawn
mower is properly supported during the
installation procedures, follow safe
stopping procedure.
6.7 Removing a blockage
It is unlikely that the cutting deck gets blocked in normal operation. However, when mowing wet grass or
driving at too high speed, the side discharge chute may get blocked. If blocking occurs, also check the cutting
deck and clean if necessary.
DANGER
Cutting hazard - Unexpected starting. Clearing a blockage can start the mower
unexpectedly immediately after clearing the blockage, if the auxiliary hydraulics of the
loader is left on.
Always stop the loader by following the safe stopping procedure before going near the
mower. Never reach to the cutting deck if the mower or its blades can move.
To prevent accidents, turn the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader to its neutral
position, shut down the loader engine and release the residual pressure always before
going near the attachment.

Keeping the rotating speed sufficiently high and drive speed low on demanding conditions are essential to
avoid blockages. Keep the equipment clean, so that material will not stick on it.

Wet, thick, and log grass can get coiled around the blades if drive speed is too high. When mowing high or
wet hay more than one run may be needed for even results. Also, adjusting the cutting height to higher
setting, or operating at lifted operating position, will help avoiding blockages.

If blockage occurs, it needs to be cleared manually using suitable tools. Follow safe stopping procedure
before going near the mower.
