5.4.6 EMPTYING THE GRASS-CATCHER

Do not let the grass-catcher become too full as this may block the collector chan-

nel. When the grass-catcher is full there is an intermittent audible warning.

At this point:

– lower the engine speed;

– go into neutral (N) (☛ 4.22 or 4.32/33) and stop forward movement;

– engage the parking brake on slopes;

– disengage the blades (☛ 4.8) and the audible signal will stop;

Emptying the grass-catcher

can only be done with the blades disengaged,

otherwise the engine stops.

– pull out the lever (1) (☛ 4.9.1) and tip up the

grass-catcher to empty it;

– close up the grass-catcher so that it hooks onto

the pawl stop (2) and put the lever (1) back into

place.

The dumping switch operates

only with the blades disengaged.

– with the operator seated, keep the button (3) (☛

4.9.2) pressed until the grass-catcher is com-

pletely tipped over;

– once emptied, keep the button (4) (☛ 4.9.3)

pressed until the grass-catcher has completely

gone down while checking that the pawl (2)

stays hooked on.

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 blades

and then immediately engage them again. If the

warning sound continues, stop the engine, take off

the grass-catcher and remove any accumulated

grass-cuttings from the sensor (1).
