Mulching with the mulching kit (only
ML40SR)
In the case of mulching, the cut grass is not
collected, but left on the lawn. The mulch
protects the ground against drying out and
provides it with nutrients.
The best results are obtained by cutting the
grass regularly to a height of approx. 2 cm. Only
young grass with soft leaf tissue rots quickly.
Grass height before mulching: max. 8 cm
Grass height after mulching: min. 4 cm
Adapt walking pace to the mulching; do
not walk too fast

WORKING INFORMATION
Observe the local regulations on
operating lawn mowers.
„
Keep others away from dangerous areas.
„
Use the mower only if visibility is good.
„
Guide the machine at walking pace.
„
Mow only with a sharp cutting blade.
„
Do not mow over obstacles (e.g. branches,
roots of trees).
„
On sloping terrain, always mow across the
slope. Do not mow uphill or downhill or on
slopes where the inclination exceeds 20 o
„
Added care must be taken on slopes when
changing direction.

# Optimum operating time is obtained
by frequent mowing of the lawn and
maintaining a short-cut lawn.
Tips for mowing
„
Maintain a constant cutting height 3–5 cm;
do not shorten the grass to less than half its
original height.
„
Do not overload the lawn mower! If the
motor speed is greatly reduced due to long,
heavy grass, raise the cutting height and
mow several times.
„
Since wind and sun can dry out the lawn
after mowing, mow the lawn in the late
afternoon.
