6.1.4 Preparing the machine
before starting work
NOTE This machine can be used to
mow lawns in a number of different ways;
before starting work, prepare the machine
based on how the lawn is to be mowed.
a. Prepare the machine for side cutting and
discharge of the grass onto the floor
(for models with side discharge only)
– Always make sure that the spring inside
the deflector (Fig. 13.A) and the safety
lever (Fig. 13.B) operate correctly,
holding it firmly in the lowered position.
b. Preparation for grass cutting and
collection in the grass catcher (for
rear collection models only)
– Fasten the grass catcher (fig. 14.A) onto
the supports (fig. 14.B) and centre it up
with the rear plate. Centring is ensured by
using the right bracket as lateral support.
– Make sure that the lower pipe
of the grass catcher opening is
attached to the pawl (fig. 14.C).
c. Prepare the machine for rear cutting and
discharge of the grass onto the floor
(for models with rear collection only)
– If you decide to work without the grass
catcher, a rear discharge guard kit (fig.
15; chap. 15.5) is available upon request.
This has to be attached to the rear
plate as indicated in the instructions.
d. Preparation for mowing and
mulching of grass
– If you decide to mow the grass, mulching
it and leaving it on the grass, a "mulching"
kit is available upon request (chap.
15.1). This has to be attached to the rear
plate as indicated in the instructions.
6.1.5 Positioning the anti-scalp wheels
The anti-chipping wheels are used to reduce
the risk of tearing up sections of lawn, which
can occur when the edge of the cutting-means
assembly drags over irregular ground.
Position the wheels as indicated (par. 7.4).

check that the results correspond to
those outlined on the tables.
