Operation
Emptying the grass catcher
NOTE
The emptying of the grass catcher can only be
done with the cutting means disengaged, otherwise the
engine stops.
The grass catcher is full when the grass cuttings remain
on the lawn. If you continue mowing with the grass
catcher full, it may block the collector channel.
To empty the grass catcher:
– disengage the cutting means (
page 20, n. 3);
– lower the engine speed;
– shift into neutral (N) (
page 22, n. 12 = Mechani
-
cal transmission, or (
page 22, n. 12 = Hydrostatic
transmission) and stop moving forward;
– engage the parking brake on slopes;
– hold onto the rear handle (1) and tip up the grass
catcher to empty it;
Unblocking the collector channel
Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at excessively high speed, can clog up the collec-
tor channel. If this happens proceed as follows:
– stop forward movement immediately, disengage the cutting means and stop the engine;
– remove the grass catcher;
– remove the grass cuttings; you can reach them from the channel discharge opening.
WARNING!
This job must only be performed with the engine turned off.
End of mowing
When you have finished mowing, disengage the cutting means, reduce the engine speed
and ride the machine with the cutting-means assembly in the highest position.
End of work
Stop the machine, put the accelerator lever in the
«SLOW» position and turn off the engine by putting the
ignition key into the «OFF» position.
When the engine has stopped, close the fuel stopcock
(1) (if fitted).
WARNING!
To avoid backfire, put the acceler-
ator in the «SLOW» position for 20 seconds before
stopping the engine.
IMPORTANT
To keep the battery charged, do not
leave the ignition key in the «ON» position when the
engine is not running.
