Risk of injury!
After disengaging the mowing deck,
beware of the mowing blade
running on for up to 5 seconds
before coming to a standstill.
(Ö 11.)
Risk of injury:
Only empty the grass catcher box
on level surfaces, as the centre of
gravity is changed by swinging up
the grass catcher box and thus the
danger of tipping over is increased.
A permanent continuous tone
during mowing signals that the
grass catcher box is completely full
and must be emptied.
Disengage the mowing deck. The
continuous tone ceases once the
mowing deck has been
disengaged.
