SELECTING THE CUTTING MODE
ADJUSTING THE VARIABLE MULCHING
CONTROL
1. Release the cutting-means control lever.
2. Turn the variable mulching control knob to one of the 5 positions
to obtain the required mulching and ejection rate.
- Grass collection position [1]: all the grass cuttings are ejected
at the back of the machine, the grass cuttings are not mulched.
- Mulching position [2]: the grass is no longer collected in the
grass catcher, but is finely cut and deposited on the lawn. The
grass cuttings chopped up in this way decompose and form a
natural compost which can produce a quarter of the annual
fertilisation requirement of your lawn.
3. To choose the position best adapted to your requirements, carry
out a test. Install the grass catcher and start to mow in collection
position [1]. Check the effect on the lawn. Turn the knob [3] one
notch to the right. Turning the knob turned towards Mulching
position [2] increases the quantity of grass ground and
deposited on the lawn. Turn the control knob [3] until you obtain
the required results.
NOTE:
• Mulching is a natural fertilisation technique. The grass is no
longer collected in the grass catcher, but is finely cut and
deposited on the lawn.
• In addition to its fertilising role, mulching protects the cut, limits
evaporation of water during hot periods and relieves you of the
task of collecting the grass.
REAR EJECTION
If you do not want to collect the cut grass, the machine can be used
without the grass catcher. In this case, the grass ejected is guided
to the ground by the discharge cover. The quantity ejected varies
depending on the position of the variable mulching control knob:
- maximum in position [1],
- zero in position [2].
