For hydrostatic drive models:
Move on slopes with the speed change lever in the «N» position, (to take
advantage of the hydrostatic unit's braking effect) and then further reduce the
speed using the brake, if necessary.
Never use reverse for reducing speed going downhill.
Control of the machine could be lost, particularly on slippery surfaces.
E
MPTYING THE GRASS
-
CATCHER
This operation can only be
done with the blade disengaged, otherwise the
engine stops.
When the grass-catcher is full an audible warning is
given. STOP FORWARD MOVEMENT, in order not
to block the collector channel, and disengage the
blade which will stop the audible signal.
Empty the grass-catcher by lifting it using the
handle.
At times the audible warning may be heard on engaging the
blade even when the grass-catcher has been emptied. This is due to grass cut-
tings left on the sensor of the micro-switch. To stop the signal, either remove
the remaining grass or disengage the blade and then immediately engage it
again.
E
MPTYING THE COLLECTOR CHANNEL
Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at too high a speed, can cause the col-
lector channel to become blocked. Should this happen, it will be necessary to:
– stop forward movement, disengage the blade and stop the engine;
– take off the grass-catcher or stone-guard;
– remove the accumulated cuttings going in through the exit of the collector
channel.
This must only be done when the engine is stopped.
