Working with the Lawnmower
Regular mowing encourages increased
foliation of the grass and kills off weeds at
the same time. Therefore, not only does
each mowing increase the density of the
lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient
lawn.
The fi rst cut is to be made in around April,
at a growth height of 70 – 80 mm. In the
main vegetation period, the lawn is to be
mowed at least once a week.
•
Start mowing near the socket and
work away from the socket.
•
Always keep the extension cable
behind you and when you turn, move
it to the side that has already been
mowed.
•
Run the equipment at a walking pace,
in tracks that are as even as possi-
ble. For gap-free mowing, the tracks
should always overlap by a few centi-
metres.
