5.1.4 Fitting the protection at the exit
(grass-catcher
or stone-guard)
Never use
the machine without having fit-
ted the exit protection!
Lift the removable cover (1) and
hook on the grass-catcher by
inserting the two pivots (2) into the
slots on the two supports (3).
If you decide to mow without the grass-
catcher, you can mount an optional
stone-guard kit (4). This has to be
attached to the rear plate as indicated in
the instructions.
5.1.5 Checking machine safety and efficiency
1. Check that the safety devices function as described
( 5.3.7).
WARNING!
2. Check that the brake is in perfect working order.
3. Do not start mowing if the blade vibrates 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 working safely or efficiently. If in
doubt, contact your Dealer immediately to make the
necessary checks and repairs.
