Adjusting The Speed (Illustration H ); Grass Collector; Operation With Grass Collector; Turbo Signal (Shows When The Grass Collector Is Full) (Illustration J + K ) - Sabo 47-K VARIO B Livret D'entretien

The drive control handle must always be pulled tight to the top bar. Incorrect actuation will lead to gearbox wear. The initial
greater resistance of the handle is intentional and makes it more difficult to make operating errors.
NOTE
The rear wheels click when the mower is pushed forwards.

Adjusting the speed (Illustration H )

IMPORTANT
The speed may only be adjusted when the engine is running in order to avoid damage!
The driving speed is set using the rotary knob mounted on the left.
– The knob can be turned in both directions for speed adjustment, so that the required driving speed can be set. The
arrow on the knob indicates the driving speed.
– Position "Hare" = fast (max. speed)
– Position "Tortoise" = slow (min. speed)
NOTE
Mowing at high speed leads to poor cutting pattern or collection result. Always adapt the speed to the prevailing
conditions. For longer grass sections, a slower driving speed should be selected.

15 GRASS COLLECTOR

Operation with grass collector

While mowing, ensure that the collector is emptied in good time. The turbo signal on the collector will indicate when the
collector should be emptied.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the chute (1) R1 is not bent when handling the collector.

Turbo signal (shows when the grass collector is full) (Illustration J + K )

There is an indicator on the top of the collector that shows whether the collector is empty or full:
– The collector indicator inflates if the collector is empty and during the mowing J .
– If the collector is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop mowing immediately and empty the collector K .
IMPORTANT
If the fabric of the grass collector is very dirty the turbo indicator will not inflate – in this case, clean the fabric
immediately. The grass collector will only collect grass perfectly if it is permeable to air.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the grass collector with hot water!

Emptying the grass collector (Illustration I3 + L )

Release the safety control bracket I3 . This will bring the blade brake into operation, bringing the blade to a standstill within 3
seconds. With the engine running, the collector bag can now be emptied as follows:
– Lift ejection flap.
– Unhinge the full grass collector from the mower at the carrying strap – the ejection flap closes automatically.
– Empty the collector thoroughly whilst holding it by the carrying strap and the moulded handle on the bottom L .

Operation without grass collector

WARNING
When mowing without grass collector the ejection flap on the mower housing must always be closed (flap down).

16 MOWING

Mowing on slopes

NOTE
The mower can be driven on banks and slopes at an angle of up to 30°. Any steeper slopes can lead to engine damage.
For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you not to exploit this theoretical performance potential.
