distance from the machine (for models
with side discharge function only).
F. Grass catcher: in addition to collecting
the mown grass, the grass catcher also
constitutes a safety element, since it
prevents any objects picked up by the
cutting device from being projected
long distance from the machine (for
models with rear collector only).
G. Discharge chute: this is the part
connecting the cutting device
assembly to the grass catcher (for
models with rear collector only).
H. Driving seat: this is where the
machine operator sits. It has a sensor
connected to safety devices for detecting
the presence of the operator.
I. Steering wheel: turns the front wheels.
J. Front bumper: this protects the
front section of the machine.
K. Battery: provides the energy for starting the
engine. Its specifications and regulations
for use are described in a specific manual.
