Removing the mulch insert (15)

The mulch insert has been inserted into the ride-
on mower for transport. In order to operate the
ride-on mower with the grass catcher, it must be
removed.
1. Unhook the springs (15/1) and (15/2).
2. Pull the mulch insert out of the discharge
chute (15/a) by the handle (15/3).
5.3 Hooking in and removing the grass
catcher (16, 17)
Hooking in the grass catcher
1. Hook the grass catcher into the two hooks
(16/1, 16/2) on the ride-on mower in a tilted
position (17/a). Hold the grass catcher by the
front carry handle (17/1) and the rear carry
handle (17/2).
Note: The grass catcher must be hung in
symmetrically.
2. Tilt the grass catcher downwards (17/b) until
it lies on the ride-on mower and engages.
3. Check the grass catcher is correctly seated.
Remove the grass catcher
The grass catcher is removed in the reverse se-
quence.
5.4 Checking the tyre pressure (18)
The correct tyre pressure is an important prereq-
uisite for a correctly levelled mower mechanism,
and hence for a uniformly mown lawn.
1. Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals
(see technical data).
2. If the tyre pressure is too low: Inflate the tyres
using a standard foot pump.
NOTE 1 PSI = 0.07 bar.

first time, charge it continuously for 12 to
15 hours to reach full capacity. The ambient tem-
perature must be between 0 and 40 °C.
The charge status display (06/6) for the battery
can be found on the central status display (06).
