Make sure that the spark plug connector is firmly seated! Touching is only a risk if the spark plug connector is not installed
correctly. Never remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running! Risk: Electric shock.
If the mower blades are jammed, for example, when you come across an obstacle, have an authorised specialist workshop
check whether any part of the mower is damaged or deformed. Any necessary repairs should also always be carried out by
an authorised specialist workshop.
Time restrictions
The time at which lawnmowers may be used varies from region to region. Please ask the corresponding authorities before
using your mower.
Tips on caring for your lawn
Mowing (Illustration M )
After 10 – 14 days every lawn starts to become overgrown. You will realize that: the often it is cut the better and stronger will
it look; since, regular mowing promotes uniform growth.
Remove all strange objects (stones, wood, branches, etc.) from the lawn before each cut; pay attention still to objects lying
around, also during the mowing process.
Make sure to mow only dry lawns as much as possible. When the ground is wet, turf will be damaged easily; the wheels
press deep into the ground and leave ridges behind.
Once the grass has become tool long, first you should mow with a higher cutting height in one direction and afterwards with a
lower height you desire, you should cut across the first direction. Only cut with a sharp flawless blade so that grass holms do
not fray. You obtain a clean cutting pattern when you mow at creeping speed in straight lanes. These lanes should always
overlap over several centimetres so that no strips remain behind.
Only on level and plane lawn surfaces should mowing be carried out at the minimum cutting height!
Please observe that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for optimal conditions. If you select cutting height that
is too low, the turf can be damaged and under certain circumstances be even destroyed.
Besides the cutting height, also the moving speed influences the cutting pattern and collection characteristic. Adapt the
moving speed to the person, grounds and to the grass height to be cut. For longer grass sections, a slower moving speed
should be selected.
When mowing tall grass, first select a high cutting height and afterwards carry out mowing with a lower height setting across
the first direction.
Mulching
What is understood by the term mulching?
When mulching, the lawn is cut and the cut blades of grass are then, immediately thereafter, chopped several times to
become even smaller using the special mulch blade. This mulch blade straightens the grass blades and cuts the blades into
very short segments which are then distributed evenly over the lawn surface.
The grass blade segments can now dry and rot more quickly, thus facilitating the production of humus. This enables natural
fertilisation of the soil and also protects against dehydration.
Gathering and removal of cuttings is no longer necessary. The mulch concept is thus environmentally-friendly and stimulates
the ecology.
How is the perfect grass blade cut achieved?
The length of the grass to be cut should not exceed 10 cm when a mulching mower is used. A maximum of 1/3 of the grass
height is cut in one working cycle. If a positive result is not achieved, mulching may have to be repeated.
Depending on the type of lawn and growth intensity, the grass should be mowed regularly. During the strong growing phase
in particular, mulch-mowing needs to be done more frequently than traditional mowing with grass collection, since the one-
third rule is hard to keep otherwise.
To achieve an optimum mulching result you should reduce the machine speed for mulching compared to traditional mowing
to allow the grass to remain in the mowing blade longer and thus be cut several times.
The best cutting pattern and result are achieved on a dry lawn, since wet cut grass will stick together and clump quickly.
These grass clumps will rot and mould, preventing the desired ecological cycle.
If the lawn has to be mowed in a very damp, wet state, the cut grass must be shorter i.e. the cutting height must be set 1-2
levels higher than with a dry lawn.
You will notice that if you follow these simple rules you will have a healthy lawn and can save on disposing of your grass
cuttings.
