ITTING THE PROTECTION AT THE EXIT
WARNING!
!
Never use the machine
without having fitted the exit protection!
Hook the grass-catcher (1) onto the brackets (2)
and centre it up with the rear plate, so that the two
reference marks (3) coincide.
Make sure that the lower tube of the opening of the
grass-catcher clicks onto the pawl (4).
If the hook is too stiff or too loose, adjust the return
spring (☛ 6.3.6)
If you would like to mow without using the grass-
catcher, an optional stone-guard kit (☛ 8.2) is
available.
This has to be attached to the rear plate as indicat-
ed in the relevant instructions.

HECKING MACHINE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY
1. Check that the safety devices function as described (☛ 5.2).
2. Check that the brake is in perfect working order.
3. Do not start mowing if the blades vibrate 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.
WARNING!
!
Do not use the machine if you are unsure whether it is work-
ing safely or efficiently. If in doubt, contact your Dealer immediately to make
the necessary checks and repairs.
