ENG 29HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
5.4.6 EMPTYING THE GRASS-CATCHER
This operation can only be
done with the blades disengaged, otherwise
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 there is an inter-
mittent audible warning. At this point:
– lower the engine speed;
– go into neutral (N) (☛ 4.22 or 4.32) and stop
forward movement;
– engage the parking brake on slopes;
– disengage the blades (☛ 4.9) and the audible
signal will stop;
– pull out the lever (1) and tip up the grass-catcher to empty it;
– close up the grass-catcher so that it hooks onto the pawl stop (2).
At times the audible warning may be heard at the moment of
engaging the blade even when the grass-catcher has been emptied. This is due
to grass-cuttings left on the sensor of the micro-switch. To stop the signal,
disengage the blade and then immediately engage it again
5.4.7 U
NBLOCKING THE COLLECTOR CHANNEL
Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at too high speed, can cause the collec-
tor channel to become blocked. Should this happen, it will be necessary to:
– stop forward movement immediately, disengage the blades and stop the engi-
ne;
– take off the grass-catcher or stone-guard;
– remove the accumulated cuttings, reaching them from the exit of the collector
channel.
This job must only be performed with the engine turned
off.
