Controlling and operating the lawnmower
MULCHING
Caution! Attach and remove the mulching plug only with the engine turned off.
Caution!
Use only original mulching accessories when mulching.
1. Remove the grass catcher and hold the plastic grass catcher cover with your hand (Fig. 9 – point 1)
2. Install the mulching plug into the discharge chute
(Fig. 9 – point 2) and make sure that the plug is seated firmly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Do not mulch tall
grass all at once, this will prevent overloading the
lawnmower mechanism and the engine.
SETTING THE MOWING HEIGHT
The mowing height is set centrally using the central mowing height adjustment lever (Fig. 1 – point 11). You can
select in the range of 25 to 75 mm. The middle mowing height is the most suitable for the majority of lawns.
Lawn damage may result when the lowest height is set.
Caution!
For maximum effectiveness, please always trim the grass by 1/3 of its length only. Mow the
overgrown grass gradually and after each mowing, lower the height by one step. To keep quality lawn, do not
use the lowest mowing height setting.
REPLACING THE MOWING BLADES
Caution! Contact an authorised service centre.
If you wish to replace the mowing blade, remove the bolt (Fig. 10). Perform the installation according to the
provided picture. Tighten the screw. The tightening torque is 40 Nm. When replacing the blade, replace the
fastening bolt as well.
