Mowing
Mowing can either take place with the grass box (16)
attached or using the side discharge (8) When using
the side discharge, the mulch insert (19) should be
attached.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This
will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the mowing swaths should always overlap
each other by a few centimetres in order to avoid bare
strips.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it
quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine
to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up
and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the hill
while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding out
of the straight line. Select the cutting height according
to the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite
a bit, mow over it several times so that no more than 4
before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind
that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds
to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely
attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the
contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In
the event that the blade strikes an object,immediately
come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition
of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
Tips for proper mowing:

vibrates more than usual.

basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
length of the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the mower housing. Be especially careful
when mowing and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used
to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Mulching
In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in the
enclosed mower housing and then spread back onto
the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dispose of
the grass.
m Note! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is rel-
atively short.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris
bag (16), slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 10-12 / 19)
into the ejector opening and close the ejector opening
(15).
