rettor requires adjustment.

behind the machine.
USING THE MOWER
COMBI
Your new lawnmower combines two different
functions in the same machine:
1. “MULTICLIP“
The machine comes equipped with a plug installed
in the ejector opening (fig. 23). The machine can
be used for ‘Multiclip’ i.e. the blade finely cuts up
the grass during mowing. The grass then falls into
the lawn where it is allowed to rot. This provides
the lawn with nourishment.
