If you would like to mow without using the grass-
catcher, an optional stone-guard kit  (

8.2) is

available.
This has to be attached to the rear plate as indi-
cated in the relevant instructions.

HECKING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SAFE

-

TYDEVICES

Check that the safety systems are working properly by simulating the various situ-
ations of usage shown in the table (

5.2) and making sure that the correct result

is achieved for each situation.

5.3.6 C

HECKING THE BRAKING SYSTEM

Make sure that the machine’s braking capacity is adequate for the conditions of
usage. Avoid starting the machine if you have doubts on the brake efficiency.

If necessary, adjust the brake (

6.3.4) and if you still have doubts on its efficien-

cy, consult your Dealer.

5.3.7 C

HECKING THE BLADES

Check that the blades are sharpened properly and firmly fixed to their hubs.

– A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
– A loose blade causes unusual vibrations and can be dangerous.

Wear strong gloves when handling the blades.
