the positive pole (+) and then the black
wire (fig. 5.D) to the negative pole (–),
using the screws supplied as shown.
2. Mount the battery retaining spring (fig. 5.B),
making sure that the cables are routed
correctly in front of the battery, so that they
are not pinched by the spring (fig. 5.B).

the rear plate (fig. 6.B), using the three
screws (fig. 6.C) supplied for each
support, as indicated, without locking
the corresponding nuts (fig. 6.D).
Fasten the upper part of the grass catcher
frame (fig. 6.E) to the supports and centre it
with respect to the rear plate (fig. 6.B).
Adjust the position of the two supports (fig.
6.F) with respect to the stop (fig. 6.G) so that,
by rotating the grass catcher frame, the stud
(fig. 6.H) fits into the housing correctly (fig.
6.I).
Check again that the frame (fig. 6.E) is
centred correctly with respect to the rear
plate (fig. 6.B) and that it rotates correctly, as
described above, then tighten the fastening
screws (fig. 6.C) and nuts (fig. 6.D).
