2.4 RE-INSTALLING THE REAR PLATE AND GRASS CATCHER
Re-installation of the rear plate and the grass catcher is performed in reverse sequence to the steps
for their removal. For this purpose, use the figures that are referred to in the manual for the removal.
Insert the rear plate into the mower so that the small chute slides into the grass ejection chute, which is
ƒ
mounted on the mowing deck.
Slide both arms for lifting/lowering the grass catcher on to pins of the side metal sheets of the rear plate and
ƒ
secure them place using a washer and a spring ring. In the event that it is necessary to adjust the parallel
alignment of the plate with the lifting frame, use the stirrups and bolts on the bottom lifting arms,
Remove the cover of the full grass catcher sensor and connect the wire bundle to the sensor. Then reattach
ƒ
the cover, fig. 5.
Slide the grass catcher on to the housings on the sides of the rear plate and secure in place with bolts.
ƒ
When sliding it in, it is necessary to slightly stretch out the side metal sheets of the plate,
Mount the linear motor on to the bracket using pins and two cotters,
ƒ
Guide the linear motor cable through the grommet in the plate and secure it in place by pulling it tight under
ƒ
the metal sheet in the plate. Ensure that there is a sufficiently long wire bundle arch between its secured
position and the lifting frame, i.e. the arm moves and could crimp the bundle.

3 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

3.1 MAINTENANCE
Prior to performing any inspection or maintenance, park the mower on a rigid and level surface. Then:
- engage the parking brake
- turn off the engine
- pull the key out of the ignition
- allow the mower to cool down sufficiently
Regularly manually check that the nuts on the hitch and tow ball are tightened.
ƒ
Regularly lubricate the tow ball using a plastic lubricant. In the event that instead of the supplied tow ball
ƒ
you are using the draw pin of the trailer, regularly lubricate the hole in the hitch.
Regularly visually check the condition of the hitch and tow ball. In the event of any deformation or cracks,
ƒ
remove the hitch from the mower and replace it with a new one.
When not using the rear hitch, protect the tow ball of the hitch against dust and dirt using a suitable cap.
ƒ
The rear hitch requires no other special maintenance.
3.2 STORAGE
After removing the hitch from the mower, clean it thoroughly and store it in a suitable location out of
ƒ
children's reach.
During storage, do not subject the hitch to extreme temperatures, excessive humidity/moisture and do not
ƒ
store it in an overly dusty environment.
