Information on mowing
Prior to mowing, check your device for com-
pleteness, proper functioning, and cleanliness.
A dirty ventilation grid causes overheating of
the engine, this can damage the engine. A dirty
protective grid on the silencer poses a fire haz-
ard.
Frequent engagement and disengagement of
the clutch increases wear of the blade drive
belt and the blade brake. Especially in case of
high grass, clutch engagement leads to over-
load.
To keep the area well maintained, mow fre-
quently and keep the grass short.
Only mow with a sharp and undamaged blade.
Have the blade sharpened and balanced regu-
larly (by authorised service centre).
Do not mow when the grass is wet or when it is
raining. The turf may be damaged and there is
a danger of slipping!
Turn the device around only in already mown
sections. Do not leave the device unattended
while the engine is running.
For mowing, always turn the accelerator lever
to full throttle to achieve the best mowing per-
formance.
To avoid blockage during the ejection of grass,
we recommend, for flat terrain, to proceed ac-
cording to the mowing patterns. Mulch is
shredded into much smaller pieces when you
mow the terrain once again in the opposite dir-
ection.
If the grass is extremely high, mow twice at dif-
ferent cutting height settings.
Devices with blade speed lever
In case of extreme high and thick growth, we
recommend to set a low engine speed and to
reduce the driving speed.
