ADJUSTMENT OF THE GRASS CATCHER POSITION AFTER INSTALLATION
► Hang the grass catcher on the hitches (1) on the rear plate of the mower.
► Check that the grass catcher and the mudguards match up. The arrow tips stamped on the lid of the grass catcher
and the mower's fairing must point to each other while the distance between the grass catcher and the grass
3.6.2k
catcher plate must be no greater than 3 mm.
► If the grass catcher does not align, it means that the hitches (1) are not in the correct position.
► Remove the grass catcher and adjust the position of the hitches relative to the direction that it did not align with the
mower:
- loosen bolts (A) to move the hitches up and down
- loosen bolts (B) to move the hitches forwards and backwards
3.6.2l ► After adjusting the position, tighten the bolts and again hang the grass catcher and check that it is in the correct
position.
► Also check the position of the contact spring of the full grass catcher sensor (10) – the spring must be touching the
switch (C), otherwise the mowing deck will not function.
