SAFETY REGULATIONS
A) Introduction
1)
This instruction sheet adds to the informa-
tion contained in the machine instruction
manual and becomes an integral part when
the “mulching” accessory is used.
2) The application of the “mulching” acces-
sory modifies the traditional system already
fitted on the machine for mowing, collecting
and ejecting grass cuttings.
3) The application of the accessory and the
use of the machine equipped for “mulching”
must fully comply with the safety regulations
given in the machine instruction manual and
with the instructions regarding different situ-
ations of use and maintenance.
B) Standards of use
NOTE -
The cutting deck cap recycles grass
inside the cutting deck, chopping it into fine
strands and strewing them evenly on the
lawn. The grass cuttings are left on the lawn,
protecting it from drying out during heat-
waves. These finely chopped grass cuttings
decompose quickly, nourishing the soil. The

WARNING!
“Mulching” cap helps protect the environ-
ment, reducing waste and the sound level of
the machine.
1) Always fit and dismantle the accessory
with the engine off, after removing the igni-
tion key and engaging the parking brake.
2) Apply the “mulching” accessory and check
that the fitted parts have been fastened cor-
rectly and securely.
3) You always need to work with the grass-
catcher or stone-guard fitted properly even
when using the “mulching” accessory.
4) For a sound operation, mow the lawn fre-
quently and regularly to reduce the height of
the grass.
5) Always avoid removing a large quantity of
grass, to avoid blocking the cutting deck or
overloading the engine and the cutting parts.
Regulate the forward speed depending on
the lawn conditions and the quantity of grass
removed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY AND
DISMANTLING
Assembly
Make sure that the inside of the cutting deck
is sufficiently clean and free of encrusted
grass and mud which could make it difficult
to insert the deflector cap.
Move the cutting deck to position «7», then
remove the grass-catcher and insert the
“mulching” cap (2) in the outlet, pushing it
into the collector channel until it blocks.
Hook the two elastic tie-rods (3) onto the
holes provided and refit the grass-catcher.
IMPORTANT - It is important to attach the
elastic tie-rods (3) correctly, to ensure that
the “mulching” cap is secured inside the cut-
ting deck and to prevent it from touching the
rotating blades. For this very reason, replace
the worn elastic tie-rods in good time.
Dismantling
Follow the above steps in reverse order.
