rying handle. In accordance with the safety regula-
tion, the discharge flap (22) drops when the grass
collection basket is unhooked
If grass cuttings remain in the opening, it is advisable to
pull the lawnmower back about 1m to make it easier to
start the engine.
ATTENTION
Do not remove cuttings in the mower housing and on
the working tool by hand or with your feet, but with
suitable aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.
To ensure good collection, the grass collection basket
(23) and in particular the air filter (12a) must be cleaned
from the inside after use.

11.3 Mowing with the mulching insert
When mulching, the cuttings are shredded in the closed
mower housing and then dispersed on the lawn. Grass
collection and disposal are not required. The fine green
waste falls back into the grass root as a natural fertilis-
er, adds moisture to the lawn and supplies it with im-
portant nutrients.
NOTE
Mulching is only possible on relatively short lawns.

(Fig.15)
1. Lift the rear discharge flap (22).

(26) down and insert the mulching insert (26). The
unlocking knob latches into place.

Tips for mulching and mowing:
• Cut the grass back by 2 cm if the grass is 4-6 cm
high.
