3 ASSEMBLING THE LAWN TRACTOR
WARNING! Danger if assembly is not
carried out completely! Do not operate the lawn
tractor before it has been fully assembled! Carry
out all the work described in the assembly in-
structions. If you are uncertain about anything,
ask a specialist to confirm that the assembly has
been carried out correctly before the machine is
started up! Check whether all safety and protec-
tive devices are in place and functioning correct-
ly!
The following assembly operations must have

clamping sleeve.
Note:Make sure the position is correct with
the spoke facing towards the operator.
4. Insert the washer (01/3) and the cup spring
(01/4).
5. Fix the steering wheel (01/2) in place using
the hexagon head bolt (01/5).
Note:Observe the specified tightening
torque of 35Nm +5Nm. Use a torque
wrench.
6. Push on the cover (01/6).
3.2 Installing the operator's seat

3.4 Mounting the grass catcher
NOTE Use a battery-operated screwdriver
with Torx bit TX30 for assembly.
1. Insert the support plates in the bottom part of
the grass catcher on both sides (05).
2. Guide in horizontally and swivel upwards (06,
07 and 08).
3. Clamp the front support strut (09/1) into the
lower part of the grass catcher (09/2) and use
M6x35 carriage bolts, washers and self-lock-
ing nuts to screw on from the outside (10).
4. Screw the top part of the frame (11/1) firmly
onto the support strut using M6x35 carriage
bolts, washers and self-locking nuts.
5. Connect the top part to the support plates
and screw on using 2 Torx Tx30 and four car-

3.5 Adjusting the grass catcher holder
NOTE After assembling the grass catcher,
the clearance between the lawn tractor and the
grass catcher should be 0mm (23, 24)!
1. Measure the clearance between grass catch-
er and lawn tractor on both the left and the
right (25).
Note:If the clearance is > 0 mm, the catcher
holding arms must be adjusted according to
the measured clearance!
2. Remove the grass catcher (26).
3. Loosen each of the 4 hexagon head bolts on
both catcher holding arms by one half turn
(27).
4. Move the left and right holding arms up ac-
cording to the measured clearance and then
re-tighten the lower hexagon head bolts on
both holding arms (28).
5. Set a clearance of 189 mm at a 90° angle
from the rear wall extending to the connect-
ing rod of the catcher holding arms (29).
6. Re-tighten the upper hexagon head bolts of
the catcher holding arms to 40 - 50Nm (30).
7. Hook in the grass catcher again (31).
8. Check the clearance between the grass
catcher and the lawn tractor again. Re-adjust
if necessary (32)!
