HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
When cutting on sloping ground, reduce your speed to
ensure safe conditions (
1.2 - 5.5).
Whatever the conditions, always reduce the speed if you notice a drop in engine speed
– if you travel too fast compared to the amount of grass being cut, you will not be able
to mow the grass well.
Disengage the blades and raise the cutting deck as high as possible whenever you
need to get past an obstacle.
5.4.6 Emptying the grass-catcher
This operation can only be done with the blades disengaged, oth-
erwise the engine stops.
Do not let the grass-catcher become too full as
this may block the collector channel.
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;
– 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.
