7- Another care that should be taken during lawn
mowing is the cutting direction, that should be
alternated, avoiding soil compactation.
Soil compactation reduces the oxygen
available for the roots and hampers its normal
growth. In some cases, it may ruin the grass.
For instance, if this time you mow the lawn in
North-South direction, the next one should be
East-West direction, and so on.
8- What should be done with the straw: leave it
on the lawn or take it away?
By one way, as it decays, it renders back to the
soil the nutrients previously extracted from it.
On the other hand, gathering the straw
provides more aeration and luminosity to the
soil (which are necessary for the development
of the lawn) and the temperature and humidity
are lower, thus reducing the risks of diseases,
and even improving its aspect. With TRAPP
grass catcher simplified installation system, you
may choose the best option for you.
9- Avoid mowing the lawn early in the morning,
when there is still a lot of dew on it.
Besides facilitating the appearance of diseases,
it is also for safety reasons.
10- As a final touch, you may also beautify your
garden alternating the height of the grass in
different strips. TRAPP lawn mower’s easy and
quick regulating system allows you to change
the cutting height without the need of tools.
The final visual effect is the same as we usually
see in soccer fields, i.e., stripes or checkered
designs in different green tones.

Recommendations
for good recycling
For optimal performance of the recycling
machine when cutting the grass, please observe
the following:
✔
Always cut the grass when it is dry.
✔
Ideally, the grass should be 11 cm high,
allowing a right cut and perfect recycling.
✔
If the grass is higher than 11 cm, cut it
twice.
✔
Adjust the height so that just 1/3 of the grass
is cut and recycled.
Care to be taken with
the recycling machine
✔
The cutting blade must always be sharp.
✔
After use, clean the mower. Grass and other
debris inside the machine can impair the
good performance of the machine and
incorrectly cut the grass.
