the machine's forward
movement;

5.4.7 Unblocking the collector channel
WARNING!

need to:
1. stop forward movement immediately, disengage the blade
and stop the engine;
2. remove the grass-catcher;
3. remove the accumulated cuttings, reaching them from the
exit of the collector channel.

When you have finished mowing, disengage the blade, lower
the engine speed and ride the machine with the cutting deck
in the highest position.
