MAIN COMPONENTS

The machine is composed of a series of main
components that have the following functions (Fig.1.0):
A. Chassis: this is the casing that houses
the rotating cutting means.
B. The engine: drives both the cutting means
and the wheel traction (if available).
C. Cutting means: the element
designed to cut the grass.
D. Rear discharge guard: it is a safety device which
prevents objects collected by the cutting means
from being projected away from the machine.
E. Side discharge guard (if available): it
is a safety device which prevents objects
collected by the cutting means from being
projected away from the machine.
F. Side discharge chute (if available): apart from
discharging the grass on the ground laterally,
it also constitutes a safety element, preventing
any objects collected by the cutting means
from being projected away from the machine.
G. Grass catcher: apart from collecting
the mown grass, the grass catcher also
constitutes a safety element, preventing any
objects collected by the cutting means from
being projected away from the machine.
H. Handle: this is the operator's work station.
It is long enough to ensure the operator
remains at a safe distance from the
rotary cutting means whilst working.
