2.1    S AFETYREGULATIONS
A)Introduction
1) This instruction sheet adds to the information
contained in the machine instruction manual
and becomes an integral part when the
"mulching" accessory is used.
2) The application of the "mulching" accessory
modifies the traditional system already fitted
on the machine for mowing, collecting and
ejecting grass cuttings.
3) The application of the accessory and the use
of the machine equipped for "mulching" must
fully comply with the safety regulations given
in the machine instruction manual and with
the instructions regarding different situations
of use and maintenance.
B)Standardsofuse
NOTE The cutting deck cap recycles grass
inside the cutting deck, chopping it into fine
strands and strewing them evenly on the lawn.
The grass cuttings are left on the lawn, protecting
it from drying out during heatwaves. These finely
chopped grass cuttings decompose quickly,
nourishing the soil. The "Mulching" cap helps
protect the environment, reducing waste and the
sound level of the machine.
1) Always fit and dismantle the accessory with
the engine off, after removing the ignition key
and engaging the parking brake.
2) Apply the "mulching" accessory and check
that the fitted parts have been fastened cor-
rectly and securely.
3) You always need to work with the grass-
catcher or stone-guard fitted properly even
when using the "mulching" accessory.
4) For a sound operation, mow the lawn fre-
quently and regularly to reduce the height of
the grass.
5) Always avoid removing a large quantity of
grass, to avoid blocking the cutting deck
or over-loading the engine and the cutting
parts. Regulate the forward speed depend-
ing on the lawn conditions and the quantity of
grass removed.
3. UNPACKINGANDASSEMBLY
Assembly
Make sure that the inside of the cutting deck is
sufficiently clean and free of encrusted grass
and mud which could make it difficult to insert
the deflector cap.
1) Assemble the regulator (3.1) according to the
images (4-8);
2) Remove the grass-catcher and insert the
"mulching" cap (9.3) in the outlet, pushing it
into the collector channel until it blocks.
3) Hook the two elastic tie-rods (9.4) onto the
holes pro-vided and refit the grass-catcher.
IMPORTANT It is important to attach the
elastic tie-rods (9.4) correctly, to ensure that
the "mulching" cap is secured inside the cutting
deck and to prevent it from touching the rotating
blades. For this very reason, replace the worn
elastic tie-rods in good time.
Dismantling
Perform steps 3) and 2) in reverse order.
