5.3.5 FITTING THE PROTECTION DEVICES AT THE EXIT (GRASS-CATCHER OR STONE-GUARD)
Never use the machine without having fitted the protec-
tion devices at the exit!
The protection devices must be fitted with
the tipping levers lowered.
Attach the grass-catcher inserting the upper
tube of the frame into the slots of the 2 brack-
ets (1).
Make sure that the lower tube of the opening
of the grass-catcher hooks onto the pawl (2).
If the hook is too stiff or too loose, adjust the
return spring (☛ 6.3.6)
If you would like to mow without using the grass-
catcher, an optional stone-guard kit (☛ 8.2) is avail-
able on request. This has to be attached to the rear
plate as indicated in the relevant instructions.

HECKING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SAFETY DEVICES
Check that the safety systems are working properly by simulating the various situ-
ations of usage listed (☛ 5.2) and making sure that the indicated result is
achieved for each situation..
5.3.7 C
HECKING THE BLADES
Check that the blades are sharpened properly and firmly fixed to their hubs.
– A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
– A loose blade causes unusual vibrations and can be dangerous.
Wear heavy gloves when handling the blades.
