11 – OPERATING TIPS
- Cut the lawn when the grass is not too wet and tall. Prevent the blades from striking against clods of earth
- If wet or tall grass must be cut, regulate the advancement speed and slow down
- Check the correct adjustment of the mower deck cutting height (see chapt. 13)
- Keep the blades sharp (see chapt. 15)
- At the start of each work session, check the operation of the grass distribution system within the rear grasscatcher as
indicated in Chapter 12.
- At the end of each work session, clean the lower part of the mower, the conveyor, the turbine, the distribution stack.
The internal parts of the machine should be cleaned with compressed air, avoiding water jets. Remember that grass, dust
and moisture are highly corrosive;
- If the machine becomes clogged during work, lift the mower deck,
switch off the engine
and free any clogged ducts
with an appropriate tool.
