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 -mechanical

model- or 4.32 -hydrostatic model-) 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, dis-

engage 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

engine;

– 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.
