HOW TO USE THE MACHINE

5.3.4 Fitting the protection at the exit (grass-catcher or stone-guard)

Never use the machine

without having fitted the exit guards!

Attach the grass-catcher (1) to the brackets (2)

and centre it up with the rear plate, so that the

two reference marks (3) coincide.

Centering is ensured by using the right bracket as

lateral support.

Make sure that the lower pipe of the grass-catch-

er opening is attached to the pawl (4).

If you decide to mow without the grass-catcher,

you can mount an optional stone-guard kit ( 9.2)

This has to be attached to the rear plate as indicat-

ed in the instructions.

5.3.5 Checking machine safety and efficiency

1. Check that the safety devices function as described ( 5.2).

2. Check that the brake is in perfect working order.

3. Do not start mowing if the blades vibrate or if you are unsure whether they are

sharp enough. Always remember that:

– A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.

– A loose blade causes unwanted vibrations and can be dangerous.

Do not use the machine if you are unsure whether it is work-

ing safely or efficiently. If in doubt, contact your Dealer immediately to make

the necessary checks and repairs.
