2. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew. Wet grass may form
clumps which interfere with the mulching action and reduce runtime. The
best time to mow grass is late afternoon when the grass is dry and the
newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Set the cutting height to about one third of the grass blade length, ideally
no more than 35 mm at one time for best mulching performance. If the
lawn is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cutting height to
reduce the pushing effort and prevent the engine overloading. For
extremely heavy mulching, it is advisable to first cut at a high cutting
height, and then again to a lower cutting height. Otherwise, make narrower
cuts and mow slowly.
4. Keep the housing free of built-up grass for best performance. From time to
time switch the product off and wait for the cutting device to come to a
complete stop. Then turn the product on its side. Using an object such as a
wooden stick, remove any accumulation of grass in the cutting device area.
Be careful of the sharp edges of the cutting device. Clean often after
cutting new grass and after every use.
5. Certain types of grass or grass conditions may require an area to be
mulched a second time to fully disperse the grass across the lawn. When
cutting a second time, it is advisable to cut perpendicular (across) the first
cutting pattern. Do not change the cutting pattern in any way that would
cause you to mow downhill.
6. Change your cutting pattern from week to week. This will help prevent
matting and graining of the lawn.
Side discharging
Attach the side discharge attachment (19). Make sure the mulching plug (33) is
inserted and the grass catcher (26) is not fitted to the product.
After use
1. Switch the machine off, disconnect the spark plug connector and let it cool
down.
NOTE: When using the side discharge function, the grass clippings
are discharged and spread across the ground.
