APPLICATION RANGE FOR THE PETROL LAWNMOWER
Mowing with collection of grass clippings in a grass catcher
Mowing with rear discharge of grass clippings
Mowing with side discharge
Mulching - mowing with loose placement of grass clippings on the lawn
Caution! Do not use the mower on slopes with an inclination of more than 20°, otherwise motor seizure
might occur!
MOWING WITH THE GRASS CATCHER
When the grass catcher is installed, grass clippings are discharged into the grass catcher
Caution!
In case of poor mown grass catching, increase the mowing height and check if the lawn is wet.
MOWING WITH REAR DISCHARGE
Without the grass catcher installed, the grass catcher cover serves as a deflector that directs the movement of
the grass clippings towards the ground. A row of grass clippings is thereby formed behind the lawnmower
MOWING WITH SIDE DISCHARGE
Caution! Attach and remove the side discharge deflector only with the engine turned off.
Use your hand to lift the side discharge cover and attach the side discharge deflector (Fig. 8). In order to mow
with side discharge, it is necessary to install a mulching plug into the discharge chute.
