the rear part (if available).
3. Mow the grass and discharge it on the ground laterally
(if available).
4. Mow the grass, chop it and discharge it on the ground

separately, allows this work to be done in various operating
modes, illustrated in this manual or the instructions that
accompany the single attachments.
