9.5.3 Emptying the collector unit
There is an opening in the collector unit through which the level of its contents can be seen.
If the unit is full or the machine is losing moss, the unit must be emptied.
Release the bracket in front of the blade clutch so that the blades come to a halt.
Then take the collector unit by the handle and unhook it from the attachment points.
Warning:
In many cases, there will be moss in the chassis cavity. Never reach under the
protective cover with your hands; if the motor is running, the blades may engage
unexpectedly. Continue with the machine in a forwards direction for one metre
so that you can gather together the excess moss from the ground.
Once the collector unit has been emptied, fold up the dethatching machine’s mudguard and clip
the collector unit back onto the hanging points.
Caution:
If the mudguard is tipped up you must be sure that the blades are not engaged.
Only once the collector unit has been replaced correctly and the mud flap is partially covering
the collector unit can the blades be engaged as set out above.
