plate, so that the two
reference marks (3)
coincide. Centering is
ensured by using the
right bracket as later-
al support.
Make sure that the
lower tube of the
opening of the grass-
catcher clicks onto
the pawl (4).
If you would like to mow without using the grass-catch-er, an optional stone-guard
kit is available. This has to be attached to the rear plate as indicated in the rele-
vant instructions.
There is a micro-switch which stops the engine or pre-
vents starting when the blades are engaged if the grass-catcher or stone-
guard are not in position. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO TAMPER WITH OR
LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS DEVICE!
Checking the safety systems
Every time before using, check that the safety systems are working properly. To
do so, simulate the various situations of usage shown in the table on page 24,
making sure that the correct result is achieved for each situation.
Checking 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 you still have doubts on its efficiency, consult your dealer.
Blade check
Check that blades are sharpened properly and firmly fixed to the relevant hubs. A
badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
