6.4
OPERATION
IMPORTANT When working, always keep
a safe distance from the cutting means,
given by the length of the handle.
Battery power reserve (therefore the mowable lawn
surface before recharging is required) depends
on many factors described in (par. 7.2.1).
Some models are equipped with control lights that signal
that the battery charge level is low during work (par. 7.2.2).
IMPORTANT If the motor stops while
mowing due to overheating, you must wait
approximately 5 minutes before restarting it.
6.4.1

Grass cutting

1.
Start moving forward and mowing in the grass area;
2.
Regulate the forward speed and the cutting
height (par. 5.4) considering the conditions of
the lawn (the height, density and dampness of
the grass) and the amount of grass collected;
3.
The appearance of the lawn will improve
if you alternate cutting in both directions
at the same height (ig. 15).
For side discharge: it is best to mow in a pattern where
cut grass is not discharged on the grass still to be cut.
For mulching or rear grass discharge:
• always avoid removing a large quantity of
grass. Never cut more than one third of the
total grass height per single pass (Fig. 15).
• Keep the chassis perfectly clean (par. 7.3.1).
6.4.2

Suggestions for maintaining a nice lawn

• To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance,
it should be cut regularly. A lawn can be composed of
diferent types of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently,
grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a solid
grassy bed. If the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher
grass and weeds start growing (clover and daisies,
etc.). The frequency of mowing should be in relation
to the rate of growth of the grass, which should not be
left to grow too much between one cut and the next.
• The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is
approx. 4-5 cm. and with one mowing, you do not need
to remove more than a third of the total height. If the
grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four
hour period. The irst time with the cutting means at
maximum cutting height, possibly reducing the cutting
width and the second cut at the height desired.
• Cutting too low tears and uproots the grass,
giving it a "spotted" appearance.
• During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a
little higher to prevent the ground from drying out.
