Emptying
The collector’s hopper bag is easily emptied by
pulling the cord from the driver’s seat.
Do not secure the cord to the ride-on mower in
such a way that it catches in the wheels or in other
rotating parts.
Do not drive too close to naked flames when using
or emptying, as the hopper bag and the brushes can
be damaged by heat or fire.
Always empty the hopper bag after each use.
Damp or wet grass and leaves can cause damage if
stored for an extended period.
MAINTENANCE
The collector must be cleaned after each use. Dried
on grass remains damage the collector and impair
its performance. Carefully clean the inside of the
hopper bag and clean the brushes of twigs etc.
Take care when rinsing with water. Make
sure that no water penetrates into bearings
and other moving parts.
Every two years, the wheels should be dismantled
and the gear rim and the cog wheels lubricated
with oil or thin grease.
To dismantle the wheel, snap off the wheel cap,
disconnect the locking ring, remove the flat washer
and then remove the wheel.
The collector’s bearings are lubricated in the facto-
ry. However, you are recommended to apply a few
drops of oil on the brush axle bearings a couple of
times a year.
STORAGE
The hopper bag can be folded up if both the hopper
bag supports (11) are removed. Requires less room
for storage.
