Working with the Lawn mower
Regular mowing encourages increased foliation of the grass
and kills off weeds at the same time.
Therefore, not only does each mowing increase the density of
the lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient lawn, The first cut
is to be made in around April, at a growth height of 70~80mm.
In the main vegetation period, the lawn is to be mowed at
least once a week.
- Run the equipment at a walking pace, in tracks that are as
even as possible. For gap-free mowing, the tracks should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
- Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects or bumps
which could cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles, Be aware of footing when mowing near drops,
ditches and embankments.
- Avoid mowing wet grass. There is a fall risk. Adjust the cut
height so the equipment is not overloaded. Otherwise, the
motor may be damaged.
- On slopes, always work across the slope. Take particular
care when going backwards and pulling the equipment.
never up and down. Take care when changing direction on
a slope. Never mow slopes greater than 15°.
- Clean the equipment after each use, as described in the
chapter on “ Maintenance and Storage”.
Mower overload protection
To avoid overloading the machine, do not mow an area
larger than that recommended by the manufacturer for this
machine. This mower has built-in overload circuit protection.
When the mower is overloaded, the motor will stop. Switch
the mower off and check to see if grass has collected beneath
the deck and clear it if necessary, then restart the mower.
