Mowing with the grass catcher
Caution - Risk of injury!
Attach/detach the grass catcher only when the
motor is switched off and the mower blade has
come to a standstill.
1. Lift the deflector plate and insert the grass catcher
in the holders (
8
).
Fill level indicator
The fill level indicator is pushed upward by the air flow
when mowing (
7a
).
If the grass catcher is full, the indicator points to the box
(
7b
). The grass catcher must be emptied.
Emptying the grass catcher
1. Lift the deflector plate.
2. Unhook the grass catcher and pull backward to
remove (

).
3. Empty the grass catcher.
4. Lift the deflector plate and insert the grass catcher
in the holders (
8
).
Mowing without the grass catcher
Caution!
Only work without the grass catcher if the
deflector plate torsion spring is working correctly.
The deflector plate is held to the mower housing by
spring force. This causes the mowed grass to be thrown
backward and downward.
Mulching with the mulch kit (optional)
When mulching, the grass cuttings are not collected, but
are left on the lawn. The grass mulch prevents the soil
from drying out, and supplies it with nutrients.
The best results are obtained by cutting back regularly
by about 2 cm. Only young grass with a soft leaf texture
decomposes quickly.
Grass height before mulching: 8 cm maximum
Grass height after mulching: 4 cm minimum
Adapt your walking pace to the mulching process,
do not walk too fast.
Inserting the mulch kit
Caution - Risk of injury!
Insert/remove the mulch kit only with the motor
switched off and when the mower blade has come
to a standstill.
1. Remove the grass catcher (
8
).
2. Lift the deflector plate and insert the mulch kit in the
outlet shaft (
9
).
It must lock into place.
If the mulch kit is not locked into position, both the
mulch kit and the mower blade may be damaged.
Removing the mulch kit
1. Lift the deflector plate.
2. Release the lock on the mulch kit (
10/1
).
3. Pull out the mulch kit (
10/2
