Emptying the grass sack
ADVICE
An audible signal sounds when the grass
sack is full. The sack should now be
emptied, or even before this.
The following applies:
The grass sack can be emptied from the
driver's seat.
The engine cuts out if the grass sack is lifted
up or disconnected when the mower mecha-
nism is engaged.
The mower mechanism cannot be switched
on unless the grass sack is engaged cor-
rectly.
Emptying the grass sack using the operating

ver, until the box engages.
4. Press the lever (06/4) back again.
Clearing the discharge channel
Mowing extremely wet or high grass in combina-
tion with a high travel speed can result in the blo-
cking of the discharge channel.
To clear the discharge channel, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Stop the ride-on mower.
2. Empty the grass sack by shifting the lever
(06/4).
3. Turn the ignition key to the STOP position,
and withdraw it.
4. Remove the grass which has built up in the
discharge channel.
5. Clean built-up grass from the fill level indicator

CLEANING THE RIDE-ON MOWER

The ride-on mower must be cleaned regularly to
ensure optimum function and a long service life.
Clean the ride-on mower and grass sack after
each use, to remove adhering contamination.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner for cleaning.
The water jet from a high-pressure cleaner or a
garden hose can damage the electrical system or
bearings.
In particular, make sure that no water comes into
contact with the engine, transmission and deflec-
tion pulleys, as well as the entire electrical system.
WARNING!
Dangers when cleaning!
During all cleaning work:
Switch off the engine and remove
the ignition key.
Protective devices removed for
cleaning must be reinstalled after-
wards.
DANGER OF BURNS: Do not clean
the lawn tractor until it has cooled
down. The engine, transmission and
silencer get very hot!
DANGER
When working on the cutters, pay at-
tention to the sharp blades. In mo-
wers with more than one blade, mo-
ving one cutter can cause the other
to move as well!
Cleaning the grass sack
To do this, remove the grass sack, and clean it by
spraying inside and out with water from a hose.
Firmly adhering contamination must be cleaned
off carefully, e.g. by using a brush. Take particular
care not to damage the fabric.
ADVICE
Empty the grass sack before cleaning. A
full grass sack is too heavy to be remo-
ved safely.
Removing the grass sack
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Gently tilt the grass sack.
3. Remove the grass sack upwards.
Cleaning the deck, engine and transmission
Do not use water or a high-pressure cleaner to
spray down the engine or any of the bearing points
(wheels, transmission, blade bearing).
