battery (J) from the engine by pulling it

9.6 Level indicator
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 (1) returns to its resting state.
This is a prompt to empty the grass
catcher box.
The functionality of the level indicator is
restricted if the flow of air is impaired.
External influences such as wet, dense or
high grass, low cutting levels,
contamination or the like can impair the
flow of air and the functionality of the level
indicator.
