11.5 Emptying the Grass Catcher
Box
The flow of air generated by the blade raises
level indicator (1). The flow of air stops when the
grass catcher box is full. If the flow of air is too
low, level indicator (2) returns to its resting state.
This is a prompt to empty the grass catcher box.
The functionality of the level indicator is restric‐
ted if the flow of air is impaired. External influen‐
ces such as wet, dense or high grass, low cutting
levels, dirt or the like can impair the flow of air
and the functionality of the level indicator.

empty the grass catcher box.
