3. Unscrew the valve cap (12/6), and push a tyre
pressure gauge (manometer) onto the open
valve.

Adjusting the fill level indicator of the grass
sack and attaching the grass sack
Adjusting the fill level indicator of the grass
sack
The fill level indicator (17/1) measures how full the
grass sack is. When the fill level indicator indica-
tes that the grass sack is full, an acoustic signal
is given. The sensitivity of the fill level indicator is
infinitely adjustable by pushing the rod (17/1) in
or out.
Adjust the fill level indicator as follows:
1. If you wish to mow dry grass: Pull the rod out.
When the rod is pulled out furthest, the sensor
reacts most sensitively.
2. If you wish to mow wet grass: Push the rod in.
When the rod is pushed in furthest, the sensor
reacts least sensitively.
Attaching the grass sack
1. Attach the upper part of the frame of the grass
sack (06/1) respectively in the left and right
slots of the holder (06/2).
2. For this, exactly align the two arrows (06/3)
on the engine cover and the grass sack with
each other, so that the sack hangs straight.

check the safety devices.
WARNING!

they are checked, people may be se-
verely injured.
Check the safety devices only when you
are sitting on the driver's seat and no
other people or animals are close to the
ride-on mower.
Carry out all checks on level ground, so that the
ride-on mower cannot roll away inadvertently.
