HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
When the grass-catcher is full you will hear a
sound warning. At this point:
– disengage the blades (
☛
4.7) and the sound
will stop;
– lower the engine speed;
– shift into neutral (N) (
☛
4.22 - Mechanical
transmission or 4.32 - Hydrostatic transmis-
sion) and stop moving forward;
– engage the parking brake on slopes;
– pull out the lever (1) and tip up the grass-
catcher to empty it;
– close the grass-catcher so that it hooks onto
the pawl (2).
5.4.7 Unblocking the collector channel
Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at excessively high speed, can clog up the
collector channel. If this happens proceed as follows:
– stop moving forward, disengage the blades and stop the engine;
– remove the grass-catcher or stone-guard;
– remove the grass cuttings; you can reach them from the exit of the collector chan-
nel.
This job must only be performed with the engine turned off.
5.4.8 End of mowing
When you have finished mowing, disengage the blades, lower the engine speed and
ride the machine with the cutting deck raised as high as possible.
5.4.9 End of work
Stop the machine, move the throttle to «SLOW» and turn
off the engine by turning the key to «OFF».
When the engine has stopped, close the fuel stopcock (1)
( if
fitted).
To avoid backfire, position the
throttle on «SLOW» for 20 seconds before stopping
the engine.
