For a sound operation, mow the lawn frequently and regularly to reduce the height 

of the grass. 

Always avoid removing a large 

quantity of grass, to avoid 

blocking the cutting deck or 

overloading the engine and the 

cutting parts.  

Regulate the forward speed 

depending on the lawn 

conditions and the quantity of 

grass removed. The cutting 

deck mulching plug recycles 

grass inside the cutting deck, 

chopping it into fine strands 

and strewing them evenly on 

the lawn. 

The grass cuttings are left on the lawn, protecting it from drying out during 

heatwaves. These finely chopped grass cuttings decompose quickly, nourishing 

the soil.

3.9  FITTING THE TOW HITCH 

(OPTIONAL)

When using the towing kit, do not 

exceed the recommended loads  (

 

1.4) & follow the safety 

instructions (

1.2, C-6 & 1.4).

NOTE

 

The tow hitch kit is not supplied as

standard on all models. 

The tow hitch kit is not factory

assembled.

 

To fit, remove two mounting hole caps 

(1) by knocking out with a hammer & 

pin. 

Insert two mounting bracket studs (2) 

through each mounting hole so that the 

stud protrude outwards from the rear of 

the machine. 

Mount the main tow hitch bracket (3) 

over the two mounting bracket studs (2) 

and secure in place with nuts (4).
