NOTE!
Mulching is only possible on relatively short lawns. To use the mulching function,
unhook the catch basket (4) and slide the mulching adapter (Fig.8-9) into the discharge
opening and close the discharge flap.
Mowing
Mowing can be done either with the grass catch basket (4) fitted or alternatively with
the side discharge (14) fitted (the mulching adapter should be fitted to use the side
discharge).
Cut only with sharp, clean cutting blades so that the blades of grass do not fray and the
lawn does not turn yellow.
To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawn mower in the straightest possible paths. These
strips should always overlap by a few centimeters so that no patches remain. Keep the
underside of the mower housing clean and remove any grass deposits. Deposits make
the starting process more difficult, impair cutting quality and grass discharge. On
slopes, the cutting path should be made perpendicular to the slope. It is possible to
prevent the lawnmower from slipping by lifting it upwards at an angle. Set the cutting
height depending on the actual length of the lawn. Carry out several passes so that a
maximum of 4 cm of lawn is removed at a time.
Switch off the engine before carrying out any checks on the blade.
Remember that the blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is
switched off. Never try to stop the blade.
Regularly check that the blade is properly fastened, in good condition and sharpened.
Sharpen or replace it if this is not the case. If the moving blade strikes an object, stop
the mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then check the condition
of the blade and the blade holder. If it is damaged, it must be replaced.
