Information on mowingPrior to mowing, check the device for com-pleteness, proper function, and cleanliness. Adirty ventilation grid causes overheating of theengine which can result in engine damage.
For your grass to grow beautiful and thick,mow frequently and keep the grass short. Donot mow your lawn too low in dry and hot con-ditions because the lawn is susceptible to sunand heat damage and will look unsightly!
Only mow with a sharp and undamaged bladeso that the blades of grass do not fray. Havethe blade sharpened and balanced regularly(authorised service centre).
Do not mow when the grass is wet or when it israining. The turf may be damaged and there isa danger of slipping!
Turn the device around only in already mownsections. Do not leave the device unattendedwhile the engine is running.
To evenly distribute grass remains and toachieve an even cutting height, we recom-mend, for flat terrain, to proceed according tothe illustrated mowing pattern.
A mulching mower shreds the clippings betterand finer than a conventional mowers. For anoptimal cutting pattern, please heed the follow-ing recommendations.
Recommendations for mowing withmulching mowers:– Mow only 1/3 of the grass height.
– Do not set the brush height to the lowest po-sition. Recommendation: 50-60 mm.
– Work under dry conditions.
– Start with slow speed.
– The slower you drive the better the cuttingresult.
– If the grass is too high, you should mow inmaximum cutting height first and later mowagain in the recommended cutting height.
– If clumps form or the mulching layer is toothick, the air exchange of the soil can be re-stricted. Areas of rot can result.
