1. Move to the cut grass emptying the storage area.
2. Stop the machine and operate the parking brake.
3. Disengage the cutting blade.
4. Remove the bag overturning lever (see Fig 44 and Fig 45).

6. Lower the bag so it completely adheres to the rear cover. If it does not, the safety
switch will prevent blade engagement.
CLEANING THE GRASS UNLOADING PIPE

and the ignition key removed.
Grass could block the pipe due to:
▪ The grass bag is full
▪ Speed too high
▪ Grass too high
Proceed as follows:
1. Operate the parking brake.
2. Disengage blade rotation.
3. Lift the blade deck as far as it will go.
