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 cm of grass are cut at one time. Switch
o󰀨 the engine before doing any checks on
the blade. Keep in mind that the blade con-
tinues to rotate for a few seconds after the
engine has been switched o󰀨. Never attempt
to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is se-
curely 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 switch
o󰀨 the lawn mower and wait for the blade to
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:
• Pay attention to ensure that you do not
run into or over anything that could dam-
age the mower. The lawn mower could be
damaged and/or the machine could inict
bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can
burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch
these parts unless the mower has been
switched o󰀨 for a while and you know that
they have cooled down!
• Use extra caution when mowing on in-
clines and steep grades.
• Insu󰀩cient daylight or even a su󰀩cient
level of articial light is one reason not to
mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other
parts if they have struck a foreign object
or if the machine vibrates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs
until the engine has been switched o󰀨. Pull
the plug boot.
• Pay special attention if you are mowing
directly next to a street or are close by
one (tra󰀩c). Always keep the grass chute
pointed away from the street.
Always carefully fasten the chute ap and
grass basket. Switch o󰀨 the engine before
emptying the grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (pro-
vided by the length of the long handles) is
maintained between the user and the mower
housing. Be especially careful when mow-
ing 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 ex-
ceeds 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 relatively short.
To use the mulching function, disconnect
the debris bag (16), slide the mulching adap-
tor (Fig. 10-12 / 19) into the ejector opening
and close the ejector opening (15).
Mowing
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condi-
tion. 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 centime-
tres in order to avoid bare strips.
Keep the underside of the mower housing
clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits
not only make it more di󰀩cult to start the
mower; they decrease the quality of the cut
and make it harder for the machine to bag
the grass. Always mow along inclines (not
up and down).
