Mowing; Emptying The Grass Catcher Box - Viking MR 4082 Manuel D'utilisation

11.7 Mowing

Before mowing, carefully read and
observe the section "For your
safety". ( 4.)
The maximum engine speed should
always be set for mowing. The
mowing blade is optimised for this
speed and this produces the best
cutting pattern as well as the most
powerful suction effect for collection
of the clippings.
If the mowing deck is engaged
when driving, the engine speed is
briefly reduced due to the additional
load as the mowing blade starts to
rotate. The engine then continues
to run at the selected engine speed.
Should the discharge chute
become blocked or if the engine
speed is reduced during a mowing
operation, a lower driving speed or
a higher cutting level should be
selected.
In order to maintain a well-cut lawn,
the section "Notes on mowing"
should be read and observed
before mowing. ( 9.)
The following points must be noted
before engaging the mowing blade:
– No persons, particularly children or
animals must be in the vicinity.
– The mowing deck can only be engaged
if the grass catcher box or a deflector
(special accessory) for rear discharge is
correctly installed on the machine.
– Carefully inspect the complete area on
which the machine is to be used and
remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones
and other foreign objects.

– Before engaging the mowing deck,
visually inspect to determine whether
the safety devices (V-belt covers,
discharge chute etc.) are properly
installed and are in good condition.
– Only engage the mowing blade at
maximum engine speed.
– Only engage the mowing blade when
the machine is already on the grass
area to be mown.
– Do not engage the mowing blade in tall
grass or when set to the lowest cutting
level.
Engage the mowing blade in the
following sequence:
● Start the engine. ( 11.2)
● Set the throttle lever to the
MAX-position. ( 8.2)
● Drive the machine onto the lawn.
● Do not engage the mowing deck in tall
grass or when set to the lowest cutting
level.
● Press the mowing deck button to
engage the mowing deck. (
During mowing
● Always set the throttle lever to the
MAX-position while mowing. (
● Always adapt the driving speed to the
grass height/cutting level.
A low driving speed should be selected
when mowing tall grass / at a low cutting
level.
Disengage the mowing blade in the
following sequence:
● Drive onto an area of grass which has
already been mown or select the
highest mowing deck cutting level.
( 8.10)
● Press the mowing deck button to
disengage the mowing deck. (
Risk of injury:
After disengaging the mowing deck,
beware of the mowing blade
running on for several seconds
before coming to a standstill (max.
5 seconds).

11.8 Emptying the grass catcher box

Risk of injury:
Only empty the grass catcher box
on level surfaces, as the centre of
gravity is changed by swinging up
the grass catcher box and thus the
danger of tipping over is increased.
A permanent continuous tone
during mowing signals that the
8.3)
grass catcher box is completely full
and must be emptied.
Disengage the mowing deck. The
continuous tone ceases once the
8.2)
mowing deck has been
disengaged.
Grass catcher box not being
completely filled
● Check whether the discharge chute is
installed. (
● Correctly adjust the level sensor (grass
catcher box). (
