5.4.6EMPTYING THE GRASS-CATCHER

Do not let the grass-catcher become too full as this may block the collector chan- nel. When the grass-catcher is full there is an intermittent audible warning.

At this point:

–lower the engine speed;

–go into neutral (N) (☛ 4.22 or 4.32/33) and stop forward movement;

–engage the parking brake on slopes;

–disengage the blades (☛ 4.8) and the audible signal will stop;

NOTE At times the audible warning may be heard at the moment of

engaging the blade even when the grass-catcher has been emptied.This is due
to grass-cuttings left on the sensor of the micro-
switch. To stop the signal, disengage the blades
and then immediately engage them again. If the
warning sound continues, stop the engine, take off
the grass-catcher and remove any accumulated
grass-cuttings from the sensor (1).	1
