10.1 Mowing operation
General information:
During the mowing operation, the clippings 
are ejected over a wide area to the side of 
the mowing deck, where they remain on 
the ground. 
The following points must be observed so 
that the clippings are ejected over a wide 
area:
● Take account of the driving direction.
● Only mow at the maximum engine 
speed. (Ö 8.2), (Ö 8.3)
● The lawn should be dry. Owing to their 
higher weight, wet clippings lead to the 
formation of swathes.
● The mowing blades must be in proper 
condition (sharp, undamaged). 
(Ö 14.6)
● Adjust the driving speed to the condition 
of the lawn. (Ö 8.10)
● Select an appropriate cutting level – do 
not mow too low. (Ö 12.6)
Driving direction when mowing:
During the mowing operation, an 
appropriate driving direction must be 
observed. 
Always select the mowing direction so that 
the clippings are ejected onto the already 
mown lawn area. This ensures that the 
clippings are ejected and distributed 
evenly. Moreover, overloading of the 
machine owing to excessive quantities of 
grass is prevented.
Example: 
Mowing in spiral pattern
● Begin from the outer edge of the lawn 
and work you way inwards.
● Select an anti-clockwise driving 
direction.
10. Notes on working with 
the machine
Warning:
Risk of injury.
Before each use, observe all 
information regarding safe 
operation of the machine. 
Working on slopes requires special 
concentration and care.
Note
Check the mowing deck for correct 
installation position before starting 
work.
Select a flat, even area for initial 
use of your machine and mow in 
straight and slightly overlapping 
strips for practising purposes. 
Grass should always be mowed 
when dry.
Caution - fire hazard!
Avoid overloading the mowing deck 
drive. Overloading may lead to 
constant slipping of the V-belt and 
consequently to a fire hazard due to 
overheating.
Unusual running noise, e.g. a 
"squealing" (slipping noise) of the 
V-belt, indicates overloading.
For this reason, never mow in high 
grass when the discharge chute is 
blocked; use a mulching kit (special 
accessory) if necessary.
The mowing deck, particularly the 
V-belt area, must always be kept 
free of combustible material (grass, 
leaves, etc.). It should also be 
cleaned regularly to prevent a fire 
hazard.
The mowing operation is performed 
anti-clockwise, from the outside 
inwards. This ensures that the 
clippings are ejected onto the 
already mown lawn area.
