TO FITGRASSCATCHER
IDLE ADJUSTMENT
Stand at cutting height adjustment handle side of mower.
Place catcher on ground at rear of mower. Reach through
handles with left arm. and take hold of catcher handle.
With the right hand, fully open rear flap with provided han­
dle and insert catcher tongue over the top of the rear axle,
then bring catcher forward to engage into attachment
hooks on the rear of the lower handles or to engage the at­
tachment hooks on the catcher over the extensions of the
rear flap spindle on each side of the baseplate, as the case
may be. Release rearflap to lock catcher in position.
TO REMOVE GRASSCATCHER
Lift the rear flap with right hand sufficiently to allow the
catcher to be lifted backward clear of attachment brackets
and mower, at the same time releasing rear flap handle and
allowing rear flap to fall to closed position.
"MAGIC EYE" CATCHER INDICATOR
This indicator shows when the catcher needs
emptying:-indicator "DOWN"-ready to empty.
Indicator "UP" -catcher still filling. The eye will not open if
the blades are worn and need replacing or the mesh in the
catcher is blocked.
The carburettor on this mower is fitted with an idle control
screw as shown in the diagram.
At the factory, this screw is set in the maximum idle speed
position. As the engine of your mower runs in it will gain
speed at the "SLOW" position of the throttle control. To
slow the idle speed to an acceptable level, screw this idle
screw in an anti-clockwise direction as indicated by the ar­
rows moulded into it.
GRASS E..IECTOR CHUTE (Optional Extra)- STOP ENGINE TO FIT
The grass ejector chute, which is an optional extra, should
be purchased if you use the mower without a catcher at any
t:me. It is fitted over the rear aperture by raising the rear
flap to the horizontal position. See Fig. 1. The chute is then
inserted under the flap so that the hooks illustrated in Fig. 1
pass through the slots shown in Fig. 2 to engage the rear
flap spindle. The weight of the flap holds the ejector chute
in position.
With the ejector chute on the mower, the discharge from
the rear chute is deflected to the left of the operator. The
mower may then be used on a high cutting height setting to
mow long or heavy growth where the use of the grasscat­
cher is undesirable. Alternatively. when growth conditions
are light and it is desired to spread the cuttings over the
lawn as a mulch, the ejector chute should be used.
